(Minghui.org) When a cousin of mine visited me from out of town, she asked about my health. I told her, “I am very healthy. I thank Master Li Hongzhi for saving my life.”
She said, “All my neighbors were talking about you. They all thought it was quite amazing. Your story spread quickly in our area and generated quite a buzz. I am so happy to see you so healthy.”
My niece, on the other hand, is a college student. Although she was curious, she was unconvinced and asked, “Could you tell us some details?” I replied:
“All my siblings used to suffer from kidney stones. Every time I got a cold or worked hard, I felt as if drills were piercing my skin. The pain caused me to vomit nonstop; my limbs felt ice cold. We were too poor to see a doctor. My father would pick some herbs and make a soup remedy. Everyone drank a bowl of the herbal concoction, which had the effect of a painkiller and an anti-inflammatory. The symptoms gradually subsided.
“When I was in my 50s, I often got injections and took painkillers. I eventually became drug-resistant. The high cost of being hospitalized became prohibitive, so I just toughed it out at home without any treatment. After more than a decade, the stones in my kidney multiplied and grew larger. One day six years ago, I began to urinate blood, and my lower back felt as if dozens of knives were cutting into me. My wife immediately took me to a hospital. After 24 hours of an intravenous antibiotic, the pain went away. But a further diagnosis revealed something that terrified everyone in my family. The doctor said: 'Your kidneys contain dozens of stones—they look like piles of stones. I cannot imagine how you survived all these years. I have never seen anything like this in my 30 years of practice.'
“Several senior professors from a major hospital formed a research team to study my case. Finally, two professors addressed our family: ‘We have seen many different cases of kidney stones, but we have never seen anything this serious. We could not find a feasible treatment for you. Drugs cannot work on such huge stones; ultrasonic therapy is too severe of a treatment for someone your age, and your age makes you a non-candidate for multiple surgeries.’
“I returned home, feeling hopeless. In the previous two weeks, I had gotten used to the pain. When I urinated, I had to firmly push my head against the wall, fists clenched, and press my lower back to squeeze the bloody urine out. Each time, it took at least 30 minutes.
“Three days after I returned home, my brother-in-law (a Falun Gong practitioner) rushed to see me from out of town. He told me, ‘You should have faith to survive this. Your only hope is to recite the nine-character phrase. Remember I often told you about “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good; Falun Dafa is good.” You should recite this aloud. I believe only Master can save you. You should be very sincere about this.’
“After he left, I immediately began to repeat those words and felt pretty good. Gradually, I fell asleep. It really worked! In the past when my brother-in-law tried to tell us the truth about Falun Gong, I was unconvinced. The Communist Party's lies really brought me great harm. That day I personally experienced the amazing power of Dafa and was totally convinced: 'Falun Dafa is great!'
“In the evening, my brother-in-law came back with an MP3 player. I began to listen to Master’s lectures. I also watched Master’s lecture videos and began to feel the difference. Most noticeably, my excruciating back pain gradually subsided. Finally it went away completely; I could walk with a straight back. Bloody urination was less frequent, and, gradually, the bleeding stopped and my urine became clear. My appetite improved, and my muddy complexion turned rosier. Six months later, I had nearly recovered all my health and began to do some minor farm work. A year later, I was completely recovered. Can you imagine how happy I was?
“People around me could not believe my recovery. They had all kinds of explanations and speculations. In order to help them learn the truth, I went to the marketplace to tell people about my experience. I told them that Falun Dafa saved my life and that Master gave me a second life.
“My children told me to focus on maintaining my progress. I agree. All children want their parents to live a long and healthy life. But my case is different. My life was given back to me by Master. I never went to school, so my only asset is to use my story of a healthy recovery to tell people that Falun Dafa is truly amazing.”
My cousin and niece patiently listened to my story, and they both ended up in tears. My niece said, “Today, I finally realized how wonderful Falun Dafa is. I will tell this story to all my classmates in school.”
