(Minghui.org) I've been in poor health since 1995. I suffered from severe colitis, hemorrhoids and liver cirrhosis. I tried lots of medicine and many fake qigong practices, but my health did not improve.
During a medical exam in 1998, the doctor told me that I had a lot of fibroid tumors in my uterus and some had turned black. The doctor recommended immediate surgery. That September I had a hysterectomy.
After being discharged from the hospital, my colitis and hemorrhoids recurred, and I could not defecate for more than a month. A friend recommended a doctor who claimed to use drugs that would cause the hemorrhoids to rot and disappear. The doctor charged me 2,000 yuan.
After the treatment however, more trouble came. My anus became seriously infected and turned into a deep hole that became more necrotic day after day. Finally, I could not walk, sit or sleep. Every time I had to use the toilet I needed help from two people, and afterward my face would be full of tears and sweat. The pain of this living death was beyond description.
The day before I started practicing Falun Dafa, my family helped me go outside to sit in the sun. An old man who used to know us came up and asked me kindly, “Your complexion doesn't look good. Why don't you come and do the morning exercises with us? Falun Dafa is very good, and it's free. Come and try it.”
Around 5 a.m. the next morning, I heard a very familiar voice calling my name, but no one was in the house or outside. I usually couldn't walk by myself, but that morning I opened the door and walked to the practice site.
Many people were at the exercise site and they were very enthusiastic to teach me the exercises. I could immediately feel something rotating on my body. Since I could not sit down, I walked home after finishing the standing exercises. My family was surprised to see me walk in and asked, “How can you walk?” I said, “I met some amazing people!”
Fellow practitioners helped me every day to watch the video of Master's Fa lectures. I watched very attentively every day, and unknowingly, the deep rotten hole of my anus began to heal. I told my daughter but she did not believe that and insisted on taking a look. She did and said that it was so amazing that the terrible deep hole had really disappeared!
As I continued to study the Fa and do the exercises every day, other diseases that I had suffered with for years were all cured. I truly felt the wonderful state of being illness free! My gratitude to Dafa and Master is beyond words.
Testifying to My Gratitude
My family operates a small convenience store so we know a lot of people. I introduced Dafa to our customers and told them about my miraculous health improvement. They all knew how I suffered before and witnessed my changes, so many of them started Dafa cultivation practice too. My parents-in-law, a lot of friends and family members also began practicing.
Unfortunately after July 20, 1999, under the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) defamation and high pressure tactics, many gave up cultivating. I felt very bad for them. In our region, the persecutors turned me into their “focus person” and came to my home every few days to harass me. They told my family to do the "work" and try to force me write a “guarantee statement" to stop cultivating. They even confiscated our store's business license to put more pressure on me.
My family advised me to deceive the officials by saying I'd renounce cultivation, and then secretly practice at home. I said, “No. I practice Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I must tell the truth. Besides, I did not spend a penny and all my illnesses were cured by Dafa. Isn't Dafa great? We should follow our conscience.”
My husband immediately understood and knew the difference between right and wrong. When the police came to our house again, he said, “You police are supposed to solve problems for people and serve the people, but you come here every few days to interfere with our daily lives and work. My wife didn't commit any crime. If you come again I won't be polite.” After that, the police stopped coming for a long time.
In the second half of 2011, the director of our neighborhood committee had my daughter bring me an “understanding report” they had written and told me to sign it. I saw that the report was full of slanderous words against Dafa and Master, and it said that I regretted practicing Falun Gong, etc. I told my daughter that I would not sign and she should not sign either, and asked her to return it to the director.
When my husband heard about it, he went to the neighborhood committee and said to the secretary and director, “Who wanted my wife to sign that?” Afterward, the neighborhood committee no longer came to bother me.
Truth Clarification Is the Key to Problem Solving
One morning I planned to deliver some truth-clarification materials by motorcycle to a fellow practitioner's home. When my granddaughter and I went out, we saw two tall men but I didn't pay attention and so I kept driving the motorcycle. At the traffic light my granddaughter said, “Grandma, the battery cannot last long, let's go back home.” I told her not to worry as the battery was new.
Actually Master was giving me a hint but I didn't enlighten to it. When I almost reached the practitioner's home, I saw that one of the tall men was riding a big motorcycle next to me. I immediately realized that I was being followed. I turned around and sent forth strong righteous thoughts to have the wicked people not see us and stop following us.
I kept sending righteous thoughts and drove to my daughter's work place and left her the materials. After I went back home, my neighbor told me that someone had distributed Falun Gong brochures in our subdivision, and our building monitor reported to the neighborhood committee that it was me. I thanked her and started to study the Fa and look inward. I realized that I should step forward to clarify the facts to my neighbors.
After dinner I saw the neighborhood committee director walking by so I went up to chat with her. I told her why I practice Falun Gong and told her of my physical and mental improvements. As we were talking, the building monitor came over, so I continued to tell them the facts of the staged self-immolation and that Falun Gong practitioners do not kill or commit suicide. I also told them that those who persecute Falun Gong will receive retribution and those who protect practitioners will be blessed. The next day the men who followed us did not come again.
Since then, every evening I go out to clarify the facts to my neighbors and persuade them to withdraw from the CCP and affiliated organizations. Some have even started to cultivate in Falun Dafa.
My Granddaughter's Story
My little granddaughter likes to watch Shen Yun Performing Arts DVDs and often says that when she grows up she'll be a Shen Yun fairy. Every evening I read the Fa to her or we listen to Fa lectures together. She can also sing many songs composed by Dafa practitioners. Every morning when she rides the bus to preschool she listens to an MP3 of Dafa songs. Since she started listening to the songs she's not carsick anymore.
Once when I was bathing her I suddenly had a very bad stomachache and almost fell down. I was sweating all over from the pain. Seeing me in distress, my granddaughter immediately said, “Falun Dafa is great. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great. Grandma, say it, a miracle will happen.”
I became clearheaded and repeated after her. In two minutes the pain was gone. I know Master saved me again.
