(Minghui.org) I was arrested and sentenced to two years of forced labor in 2005 for practicing Falun Gong. Because of torture at the camp, I suffered a comminuted fracture. At that time the bone extruded through the skin for more than 10 centimeters, and the bones were exposed. When I was taken to a local hospital my leg kept bleeding, but the labor camp nurse just ignored it.
The labor camp notified my family that my term was commuted to house arrest. My father took me to a local hospital. The doctor found that the doctors had stitched the skin but had not aligned the broken bones before they put on the plaster. It was now too late for a repair job. Not only that, the wound had become infected. Orthopedic experts recommended that I take antibiotics for a month.
Once the infection had been stopped, the doctor would reopen the wound and reconnect the bones. Steel plate and nails also needed to be put in to help the bone grow back. Then. they would have to take out the steel plate and nails after one year. During this period, I would be disabled and have to use crutches. The fee for the surgeries and hospitalization would be 10,000 yuan.
While in the hospital, I could not sleep due to severe pain and remembrance of the torture in the labor camp. The bloody, horrible, brutal persecution scene often came to my mind. I was also not allowed to contact other practitioners, read Falun Gong books and had to remain in the hospital. They were afraid that I would practice Falun Gong again.
However, they finally let me go home. It had been six months since I was first arrested. I was finally able to do the exercises and study the Fa.
“If you can recover by exercising,” my sister-in-law said, “I will practice Falun Gong too.”
The first time when I started to do the exercises, I had to lean my body on the left leg because the right leg hurt. However, when I was doing the second set of the exercises, I felt warm energy surrounding the entire right leg. Thus I was able to restore the correct posture of practice and stand evenly on both legs. I was able to walk slowly after one month. The severe pain in the bones also disappeared once I started to practice the exercises.
My sister-in-law witnessed the power of Falun Gong, and began to read Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Gong.
I met with Mr. Zhang, the local city health bureau director in 2011. In front of the city 610 Office staff and other local officers, he said: "What happened to your leg is extraordinary! Falun Gong is incredible!" The people around us nodded silently.
