(Minghui.org) I live in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province, and started practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. Over all these years, I have experienced the extraordinariness of Dafa again and again, and I was protected from danger and tribulations. Through my story, I hope to share the goodness of Falun Dafa, and help people see through the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) deceptive propaganda.
Before practicing Falun Dafa, I suffered from lower back pain, lumbar disc herniation, bone hyperplasia, leg pain, arthritis, severe shoulder pain, insomnia, and a number of other illnesses. Out of all my conditions, my back pain was the most severe. I spent over 30 years, from 1964 to 1998, traveling throughout China in search of a cure, spending much of my savings on various treatments and medications, but to no avail.
Just before my retirement in 1990, the head of my workplace took me to a specialist in a hospital in Jinan for an examination. The doctor recommended surgery to alleviate my back problem, but I refused because I had a bad experience following stomach surgery back in 1972. The head of my workplace tried to convince me to undergo the operation, saying, “Do it before you retire, while the company is still willing to cover your medical fees.” I firmly rejected his suggestion.
My daughter had just taken on the operation of a hotel, and my wife and I went to live with her as we were retired. Unable to perform any manual labor, I helped my daughter by keeping records of her daily expenses. In the meantime, my back pain grew worse day by day. I stopped eating regular meals and resorted to drinking alcohol in large quantities to numb the pain.
One evening in 1998, while walking home, I ran into my son-in-law’s relative. He asked about my health. After he learned about my condition, he asked me to consider practicing Falun Dafa. Skeptical, I asked him if I could first read about it. We picked up the book Zhuan Falun at his house. I was incredibly moved upon seeing the book’s title, and before I knew it, tears were streaming down my cheeks.
Carefully holding this treasured book, I headed home and told my wife about my encounter. After dinner, my wife helped me into bed and adjusted my reading light. I started reading, and found myself more and more engrossed as time passed.
By the fourth chapter, my wife was ready to go to sleep and asked me if I needed anything. I declined her offer, wished her a good night and continued reading. The next time I casually looked up, dawn was breaking.
Without thinking, I got out of bed to rouse my wife from sleep. My wife was shocked to see me, “The bed is so high. How did you manage to get down on your own?” Only then did I realize that I had descended from bed on my own without any problems, and that my back pain had disappeared.
My wife and I were amazed beyond belief. How was it possible to be cured just by reading Zhuan Falun for one night?!
Ecstatic, I ran to my former workplace clinic and told the doctors of my miraculous cure. In disbelief, they sent me to the Qingdao University Medical Hospital for tests. A comprehensive examination returned normal results and my former colleagues rejoiced at my good fortune. From that point on, I started practicing Falun Dafa in earnest.
One winter, our gasoline-powered rickshaw did not start. To get the engine running, I pulled the vehicle from the front while my wife pushed from the back. I was startled when the engine suddenly roared to life. The rickshaw sped over me before running into a ditch. The accident was witnessed by many people, who expected the worst. To their immense surprise, I got up on my own without suffering even a scratch.
In another incident, I was driving home with a load of wheat when my vehicle skidded on the sandy road and crashed into a stone-lined ditch. My foot was trapped between my vehicle and the stone slabs. I tore my shoes to pieces as I attempted to extricate my foot. Yet there was no injury and the vehicle remained intact.
When I traveled along a T-intersection, I was knocked over by a speeding van. The collision tossed my electric bicycle over three meters, and tore away a huge chunk out of the van’s front bumper. My bike was badly damaged. The horrified driver rushed out of his van to help me up, and insisted on taking me to the hospital. I declined his offer, and after demonstrating that I was uninjured, I told him he could leave.
I suffered a sudden stroke on the evening of April 1, 2013. My children rushed me to the hospital. The day after, I was able to move about normally. This greatly surprised my doctor, who told me he had never encountered a patient who made such a fast recovery.
After I returned home, I went for a stroll in the common courtyard of our housing complex. Many neighbors and acquaintances were amazed and asked what miracle medicine I had used to recover so fast. I replied that I was cured because I practice Falun Dafa!
