(Clearwisdom.net) I am over 60 years old, and I wouldn't be alive today if I weren't practicing Falun Gong.
As long as I can remember, I was troubled with all kinds of afflictions. My eyesight was poor, and my mind was never totally sharp and clear. Shortly after I learned to walk, I stepped into a basin of scalding water and suffered third degree burns when I fell and the water washed over me. My skin peeled off all over my body and I could not open my eyes for seven days. I barely survived, but after that accident, I was afflicted with a multitude of conditions. I had very little appetite, and I could not bear to touch anything too hot or cold with my hands or feet. I could not eat anything too cold or spicy. I had intestinal inflammation and was cold all the time. Very often I suffered from headaches, stomachaches, joint pain, hearing loss, swollen liver and spleen, and sinus problems. My nose and mouth often festered. Because I would cough constantly due to the cold, my bronchial tube expanded and bled. Later on I had gastritis and my stomach atrophied, and bled when I slept. I was continuously undergoing one treatment or another, including both Western and Chinese medicine.
My condition became more and more serious. I had difficulty talking, as each word was a struggle. I could hardly breathe. Everything looked dark to me. I consulted with and was treated by all kinds of doctors, with no relief. The doctors said that my condition was hopeless.
I was fortunate enough to learn Falun Dafa in 1997. I learned what it meant to truly always think of others. I studied the Falun Gong teachings diligently and led my life according to the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." After four months, I could read even very tiny words, and gradually all my diseases disappeared. Falun Gong undoubtedly saved my life!
Since the persecution began in 1999, I have gone through a lot, but I have never forgotten what Falun Gong has done for me, and I will always remain steadfast.
