(Minghui.org) I was working on a large fishing boat in August of 2012. I was trailing the net when suddenly my hand was sucked into the cable cart, and my whole body was dragged around three times before a co-worker stopped the cart. It caught me off guard, I focused on pulling my hand out and did not think of anything else.
After I pulled my hand out, my entire right hand was severed from my arm, attached only by a layer of skin, and a tendon which was pulled five to six centimeters long that was left hanging. I suddenly realized what had happened and yelled: “Master, save me!”
The owner of the ship was in shock and asked me what to do? I said: “It will be okay, I have Master!” Co-workers wrapped towels round my right hand and I held my right hand with my left hand and sat down, asking Master to help me. I did not feel much pain.
The ship was forty nautical miles from the shore, and it took us three hours to get to the nearest hospital. When the doctor saw my hand, he said he would try his best to sew my hand up, but he could not guarantee it could be restored. My boss asked where was the best hospital? The doctor recommended the 89 Military Hospital in Weifang. The doctor wrapped my hand with ice. It took us another five hours to get to Weifang.
The surgery took nine and half hours. It took us so long to get there, and with all the mud and blood, the risk for infection was very high. The surgeon said: “We tried our best, the rest is up to heaven.”
Advised I Would Need a Second Surgery
The tendons at the back of my hands were all severed, and the surgeon told me that my hand could only bend but not stretch when I recovered. I would also need a second surgery to connect all the tendons, and it would be very difficult for the nerves in my hand to recover.
During the hospitalization, my hand could not move at all. When I felt bad, I would send forth righteous thoughts and say to myself: “Only Master has the final say!”
Helped By Master
One day, I suddenly saw all sorts of rotten demons with various odd shapes appearing on the ceiling and around the room during the day. They came after me in a menacing way. I knew that they came to persecute me, so I asked Master and all righteous gods to help me eliminate them. It took me five to six days to completely eliminate them. The field in and around the hospital finally became clear of them. My pain also subsided, I could eat and keep food down.
One day, I suddenly lost my memory, I could not recognize my family members, but I remembered that I was a cultivator. I asked Master to strengthen me, as I had to recover my memory. Gradually I remembered little by little where I was and what I was doing. I remembered that I had been slacking off in my cultivation for a long time, but Master never gave up on me and continued holding my hand and going forward.
Screws in My Hand Disappear
Three months later, I decided to leave the hospital, my wife asked the hospital to remove my screws inside my right hand since it would cost us another 10,000 yuan to remove them in the future. The request was turned down by the hospital, as they only remove screws after one year.
We took an X-ray before we left the hospital, and it showed that there were no screws! I asked the surgeons when they removed the screws and why didn't they inform me? The surgeon took a look at the picture and was shocked: “Nobody removed your screws, who did it?!” I suddenly realized that it was Master who took away the screws! My wife told me: “Do not tell your boss, as you need to ask him for the money for the second surgery.” I replied: “The screws were removed, Master helped me, so how could I still ask the boss for money? How could I do that?”
Second Surgery Not Needed
After I came home, I began diligently studying the Fa and exercising, and my hand recovered day by day. I tried my best to do whatever I could. One year later, I began picking up corn, driving, doing house chores. Even though I did not have the second surgery to connect my tendons, I felt my tendons were automatically connected; and I could flex and also extend my right hand. The sensation in my right hand also recovered, which meant the nervous system had been revived as well. It verified again the supernatural power of Falun Dafa. Thank you Master for your compassionate protection and care.
The hospital forensic department analyzed my case for the compensation, and the orthopedic specialist exclaimed: “That your type of injury can recover to this extent within a year -- it is unbelievable!”
When we discussed the amount of compensation, my family member asked for at least 200,000 yuan. When we consulted with a lawyer, he agreed that it should be at least around 150,000 yuan.
I did not like to do it through the legal system, so I asked the secretary in our village to coordinate a solution concerning compensation.
The secretary asked the ship owner over and asked how much they could pay. They did not know. So the secretary asked me how much I wanted. I said how about 120,000 yuan. The secretary said: “That is not much, no problem.” He went back to the ship owner, but his wife said that they did not have that much money and wanted me to lower the amount.
Hand Fully Recovered
I thought: I am a cultivator, my hand will recover, I should not focus too much on the money. So I said how about 70,000 yuan. The secretary said: “Only that little. Alright, I will make sure they give us the money tonight.” I was surprised to see the ship owner's wife come over that night with a medical diagnosis of her sister who had cancer; and she herself had had a heart attack. So I agreed to lower the amount to 60,000. They had insurance, and the insurance would pay 50,000 yuan. The owner would only pay 10,000 yuan. I used that 10,000 yuan to pay the hospital bills.
When I told the village administrators about the compensation, they were all shocked and commented: “How can you do this to yourself, as this is going to affect your entire life! You made it so easy for the ship owner. We truly realize you Dafa practitioners are different, and your standards are truly high. Such a serious matter, you handled it so easily and simply.”
The secretary told the ship owner's wife: “Thanks to Master Li Hongzhi (Falun Dafa's founder) who instructed such an outstanding disciple, you really get off the hook easy this time. You better thank Master Li Hongzhi yourselves!”
I explain my personal story and about Dafa to everyone I come across on a daily basis. Many people listen to my story. When there is a crowd, others would automatically keep order and quietly listen. Afterward, they could not help but give a compliment: “Falun Dafa is truly good!” Some of them also wanted to learn Dafa, and some even asked me for Dafa books.
