(Minghui.org) I was tormented by all sorts of illnesses, including heart disease, stomach pain, and gynecologic problems. I was evaluated and treated by medical specialists at prestigious hospitals, and even tried folk medicine, but nothing helped me. I also developed severe insomnia and sometimes could not sleep for several days in a row. I was so miserable that I knelt on the ground and begged heaven that I would not die yet, as I still had to take care of my young child and my elderly parents.

One day in 1997, my neighbor told me her parents-in-law were practicing Falun Dafa, and that it had miraculous healing effects. Their illnesses were all gone. I finally had some hope of saving my life, and rushed to the neighbor’s house.

As soon as I entered their house, I felt instantly relaxed, as if the ropes tightly wrapped around me were gone! It was extraordinary. I had not felt this good in a long time. I asked my neighbor why I was feeling so comfortable in his home and he began telling me about Falun Dafa and its healing effects.

I could not wait to practice Falun Dafa. He recommended that I read Dafa’s books and learn the five exercises. He offered to take me to the group exercise site and group study. He was so kind and selfless. He even gave me the book Zhuan Falun. I was a bit embarrassed since I was illiterate. He encouraged me, “Dafa’s power is immense. You will be able to recognize the characters in the book and read it yourself someday.”

Walking home, holding the book in my arms. I felt lighter with every step. As soon as I thought about practicing Dafa, and made the commitment to do so, my illnesses disappeared. I was physically comfortable and in good spirits. I knew that it was Master Li who had given me a second life. The joy I brought home also made my family happy.

Shortly after I began practicing Falun Dafa, I was able to do all sorts of household chores. I listened to Master Li’s Fa lectures, and I was able to read the book Zhuan Falun, just as my neighbor told me! How amazing!

Many of my relatives and friends saw the enormous changes in me and also wanted to practice Falun Dafa. Many of them followed my example and also began cultivating in Dafa.
