(Minghui.org) My sisters and I send joyful greetings on this beautiful spring day to Master on his 65th birthday. Out of sincere appreciation for World Falun Dafa Day, I would like to share the story of how Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) saved our lives.
I was diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer. My uterus and ovaries were to be removed in two operations between 2006 and 2009. Unfortunately, in a follow-up exam in June 2010, doctors detected a lump the size of an egg.
A medical expert said that I had only months to live. Even with surgery my chances of survival would be less than 50% in two to three years.
With a slight hope, I sought treatment at the Shanghai Zhenguo Hospital, which specialized in using both Western and Chinese treatments. I was told that the first treatment procedure would last for six months and the cost would be 30,000 yuan a month. Even so, I was given no assurances that I would live beyond two years.
Unemployed and divorced, I could not afford such a huge expense. I left the hospital in tears. I returned home in despair, prepared to wait out my last days.
On August 20, 2010, a Falun Dafa practitioner gave me the book Zhuan Falun and said, “Try reading this book! You may find your new life from it.”
I sat down and read 60 pages in about 90 minutes. That night I had the best sleep in many years.
I continued reading the book the next morning. I realized that this book teaches me to follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to become a better person and to return to my original true self.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. I suddenly developed a high fever and quickly checked in to the hospital. My temperature rose even more after an intravenous injection. I also got diarrhea, and in one night I ran to the restroom 13 times. Each time I went to the restroom, I noticed that my back straightened up a little more.
The practitioner who gave me the book came to see me in the hospital. She told me that Master was purifying my body. I knelt in the bed, thanked Master, and begged his forgiveness for my ignorance.
The next day my doctor was amazed at my condition when he checked the lump. He asked what miracle medicine I took to shrink the lump to half its size. With tears flowing down my face, I said to him, “Please check me out of the hospital. I want to follow Master back to my origin!”
Merciful Master has rebuilt my body. I have not taken any medicine since then. All my diseases—the lump on my ovaries, coronary heart disease, bile duct stones, migraine headaches, arthritis, and others—have disappeared.
I have completely regained my health. I now work very hard to pay off the debt accumulated from previous surgeries.
My third sister is 65, energetic and kindhearted. She always helps others when she can. She has witnessed the power of Falun Dafa and always tells people to sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
My sister and her two daughters have a hard time making ends meet. Her financial condition deteriorated after her husband passed away in 2005. The situation got worse after her surgery for ovarian cancer in 2009.
In order to pay her medical expenses, she went back to work just three months after her operation. To make matters worse, a machine at her workplace accidentally cut off four fingers on her left hand.
In 2011, she received an operation to remove breast cancer cells. In addition, she also had heart and vertigo problems. Six months after the breast cancer surgery, she was told that the cancer had spread.
“Don't be afraid, sister,” I said to her. “Only Master Li can save you now. Let's go home to practice Falun Gong.”
When we got home, my sister panted heavily. I asked her and her daughter to recite “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
I then played Master's Guangzhou lecture on my MP3 player for her. I asked Master to save her. Soon after, my sister fell asleep, breathing evenly. Her pale face was covered in a smile.
She read Zhuan Falun and practiced the exercises, and soon regained her energy and health.
My eldest sister had suffered from lumbar stenosis and a hernia on her lumbar disc. She tried many Chinese and western medicines and folk remedies, but nothing worked. When the pain was severe, she could not even move and had to stay in bed.
She saw that my cancer was cured and began to spread the word about Falun Dafa to people. She encouraged people to practice Falun Gong or advised them to recite “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
When I clarified the facts about Falun Gong to our relatives and friends at her home, she would help me persuade them to renounce the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
Time has flown by. She has not complained about her pain for a long time. When she visited her daughter last year, her daughter took her for a physical exam at a hospital. The doctor reported that her health was perfect and no lumbar disc hernia was noticed.
My eldest sister is 73 now, 18 years older than me. She is healthy and energetic. With a peaceful smile, she looks like she is in her sixties.
