(Clearwisdom.net) I am seventy-two years old this year. For many years, I was the village leader, though I left the post in 2004. During my tenure in office, due to pressure from the authorities above me, I regrettably participated in the unscrupulous persecution of Falun Gong. I listed the names of the Falun Gong practitioners for "black listing" purposes. My actions had a negative influence and caused damage to Dafa.
On March 27, 2004, I lost consciousness due to a sudden severe illness. The doctor at the nearest township hospital, where my family members took me, did not admit me because my illness was quite severe. My family members then rented a car and took me to the county hospital. The physicians at the county hospital later diagnosed the illness as a heart disease, accompanied by a lack of blood circulation to the brain. A thorough check-up later revealed a tumour about the size of a finger knuckle inside my brain. My family members then transferred me to the Changchun City hospital to continue the hospital treatment. The expenses for all this came to about 6000 yuan. I was terminally ill. Seeing my critical condition and anticipating the worst, my family members began to prepare for all the things to do after my death. Awaiting death, I lay helpless on the bed.
At the time when I was about to give up all hope, I was most fortunate and lucky to have obtained a treasured book -- Zhuan Falun. This marked a significant new transition in my life. I anxiously read the entire book, assimilating the teachings like a hungry and thirsty person. By reading and studying the book, I became aware of the truth about life and the universe.
In the book Zhuan Falun, Teacher Li Hongzhi taught us to follow the universal characteristics of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance," to model ourselves as good people, striving to become better and better, eventually being the best we can be. This motivated me to search inside to reflect on all the bad deeds that I had done in the past. I then decided to turn over a new leaf and to thoroughly rectify my past bad actions and behavior in life. Additionally, I constantly studied the Fa and continuously uplifted my understanding. At the same time, as Master Li purified my body, my body was gradually restored to good health.
After studying and reading Zhuan Falun many times, I started walking by gradually leaning on a stick, which I have now discarded to walk freely. The people around me initially thought that I would not live because of my severe illness. My recovering at such a rapid pace was a big miracle as it was beyond imagination.
Master Li Hongzhi gave me a second life by restoring my health from the brink of death. I certainly should cherish and treasure this rare and unique chance. I must study the Fa diligently and at the same time, let more and more people around the world understand the truth of the persecution. I must also introduce Falun Dafa to more people so they can also benefit from the teachings and practice. I certainly will use every practical means and action available to repair all of my past mistakes and errors, and to rectify and redeem all the damage that I unknowingly committed in the past.
