(Minghui.org) I was only 27 years old when I came down with pancreatitis. My husband took me to the hospital for treatment. After several rounds of medication, my condition didn't improve. I then tried Chinese herbal medicine, but it didn't help either.
It was the autumn of 1994. An elderly woman, who I call “Ergu” (meaning “second aunt” in Chinese), came to visit a family in our village. She noticed that one of my hands was holding my stomach, that I had a hunch back and yellowish complexion. She asked, “My niece, what happened to you?”
I told her about my illness and that I was too sick to work on my farm. She told me she learned an exercise called Falun Gong that was very good for healing illness and invited me to go to her relative's home to learn it.
Ergu had only learned the first four exercises from a friend, so I only learned those four exercises from her. As soon as I started to do the exercises, I felt all my joints become smooth and relaxed, as if oil had been applied to them. I felt relieved and very comfortable.
Since I was too sick to work, I did the exercises diligently every day. Before Chinese New Year, my symptoms disappeared even before I learned all five exercises. It was like magic.
After Chinese New Year, two villagers and I bought the book Zhuan Falun and started to read it together. Other villagers saw the great benefits of Falun Gong and joined our exercise group.
In the end, nearly every family in our village had one or more person who practiced Falun Gong.
I completely regained my health a few months into practicing Falun Gong. I returned to farm work in the spring of 1995. Since then, I have not had any illness and didn't visit a hospital even once.
Falun Gong also taught me be compassionate and tolerant and my family relationships improved. Our neighbors often said, “We don't hear them fighting anymore after they started practicing Falun Gong.”
