(Minghui.org) I used to have leukemia, diabetes, and heart problems. I almost died in the summer of 1998. I had to take 17 pills, three times a day, in place of my meals.
Fortunately I was introduced to Falun Dafa in October 1998, and it restored my health. After 15 years of sick leave, I was able to return to work. This is my story.
I had a near fatal heart attack in 1998 and stopped breathing. I was rushed to the hospital and revived, but I continued to have excruciating heart pain at least four times an hour.
My whole body exuded a strange, pungent odor. The doctor issued a critical condition notice to my family, and I believed I was dying. I insisted on returning home, even though my family disagreed.
After two months of medical treatment, I was able to walk again. My daughter and I were out walking one day when a fortuneteller greeted me. I told him, “I don't believe in fortunetelling, and I don't have any money.”
But he said, “You don't have to pay me, but I have something to tell you.” I told him to go ahead. He said, “You will encounter something great in the middle of October this year. You will know it when it comes.” I thanked him.
I looked forward to the middle of October. The only event on my schedule around that time was a wedding--my former classmate's son was getting married on the 16th.
The wedding was in another town, and I had to take a train and a bus to get there. I could barely walk at that time and couldn't eat more than a mouthful at a time. Despite my poor health, I decided to go to the wedding to find out what “great" thing was waiting for me.
Many of my former classmates were at the wedding banquet. They were surprised to see me looking so pale and weak. I told them about my health problems and that this might be my last chance to see them.
Three of them looked at me, smiling. I asked them why. One of them said, “Don't worry, we will take you to get a miraculous book after you finish eating. It will solve your problems.” I told them I hadn't been able to eat much of anything for two months.
Seeing how badly I needed help, they asked the groom's father to excuse us and took me to get the “miraculous book” right away. We bought a book from a bookstore and then went to one of their homes to watch Master's lectures in Jinan on video. After spending the entire afternoon watching the video, I couldn't understand what Master was talking about.
My classmate gave me a bowl of food, and all three of them asked me to try to eat. They said they were sure I would be able to. I tried one bite after another. I was able to finish the whole bowl, and I didn't feel sick! I felt so happy and surprised that I was able to eat simply because I watched the video. It was miraculous but true.
After dinner, I studied the book Zhuan Falun with them for a couple of hours. On the way back to my cousin's house, I was surprised to find I was able to walk as quickly as my tall classmates.
One of them said, “I used to be as weak as you. Look at how strong I am now.” Another said, “She seems to be in worse shape than you were back then. Give her some time...” I replied, “Don't worry ...Who wants to take medicine if there is a better way.” They invited me to watch another lecture the following morning.
Before I even opened my eyes the next morning, I saw something bright rotating above my head. It disappeared when I tried to follow it with my eyes, but it reappeared when I closed my eyes. It wasn't until later that I realized I had seen the rotating Falun. I got up quickly and gave all my medicine to my cousin's mother-in-law. I said, “I won't need this anymore.” It turned out to be true. I have not needed medicine since.
I went to watch the next lecture with my former classmates. As I watched the video, Master's appearance changed before my eyes: his suit turned into a kāsāya, and his hair became curly. The background behind him changed into mountains and rivers.
The color of Master's hands kept changing from red to orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. After watching Master's lecture videos for three days, all of my discomfort was gone. I said from the bottom of my heart, “How great it is to be free of disease!”
After 15 years' sick leave, I was able to go back to work. I wouldn't be alive now if it wasn't for Falun Dafa. No words can describe my gratitude to Master.
I tell people how miraculous Falun Dafa is. I study the Fa and do the exercises diligently. Several friends started practicing Dafa after witnessing what happened to me.
After the persecution of Falun Gong began, my boss told me, “Don't worry if you can't do your exercises publicly; you can come to our office courtyard to exercise. It's okay to do them here.”
My colleagues said things like, “It's okay if other people give up [Falun Gong], but you must continue. We weren't able to see you for so many years. It's so great to see you around.”
All of them can testify to how bad my health was and what a big change I underwent.
I continued to study the Fa at home and at work. Several new practitioners joined my Fa study. Then one day the police went to where I worked to investigate me. Our company director refused to cooperate with them. He sent them away, saying, “Don't ever come back again.” No one has made any trouble for me since.
Our residential committee members (a local government body responsible for local public security and settling disputes between residents) have also been very supportive.
They have quietly protected Falun Dafa practitioners all these years. The director of our residential committee called me after I made a large donation of warm clothes to a disaster area. She said, “I am so thankful for you kind people (Falun Dafa practitioners).”
