After Being Deceived by the Chinese Media's Lies, An Elderly Couple Begins Practicing Falun Gong And Their Health Is Restored

May 1, 2004 |   By a new practitioner from China

(Clearwisdom.net) I am 74 years old and my wife is 71 years old. We live in a small city in the far northeast of China. During these past few years, we believed the media's lies about Falun Gong were true. One day I received a Falun Gong truth-clarifying VCD by chance. After watching the video, I realized that Falun Dafa is really precious and that all the self-immolation, and murders etc. are all lies and frame-ups. People who cultivate Falun Dafa believe in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and in being good people. They bring to society only hundreds of benefits without a bit of harm. Jiang Zemin should be brought to court for persecuting these good people. Since the practice seemed so good, my wife and I both wanted to try it.

A friend of mine gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun. Once I started to read it, I could not put it down. I had been looking for this book all my life, and my wife and my eldest daughter thought so as well. So my wife and I read it during the day, and our daughter read it at night. After that I borrowed a copy of The Great Consummation Way of Falun Dafa and began to treasure it too. I thought, "When I return this book I will not have any copies, so I should hand copy it." Because I had many diseases and was approaching the end of my life, and because my hands have been shaking for many years, I wondered, "Would it be possible to hand copy it?" I felt that I should do it even if I couldn't finish, as I respected the book very much. At first it was very hard, but it became easier and easier, and even before I had finished, my hands stopped shaking without my even noticing it. This stubborn infirmity was suddenly cured!

My wife has also had many diseases. A stroke that had happened over 10 years ago had left her with a crooked mouth and eyes. She had not fully recovered even after receiving many injections and medicine. After practicing Falun Gong for a month, one day she felt the right side of her face was being pulled, and then suddenly it relaxed and felt really comfortable. When she looked into the mirror, she saw that her wry eyes and mouth had been restored to their normal state. The swelling that had been there for years had gone down and there was no sign of illness anywhere in her body. In addition, my wife and I had been smoking for over 40 years, and every day each of us would smoke at least 2 boxes of cigarettes. We had tried to stop smoking many times but never succeeded. However, after practicing Falun Gong for one month, we completely quit smoking.

Although we have only been practicing Falun Dafa for two months, our gracious Teacher has showed compassion to my whole family and let us obtain the Great Law, giving both of us healthy bodies and allowing our children to not worry about our health, helping us do away with our medical and cigarette expenses, and have a happy family.

I have only just begun practicing, and am unable to talk at a high level, but I just want to write out my family's experiences regarding the practice of Falun Gong and tell everyone that "Falun Dafa Is Good!!"
