(Minghui.org) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner in China. My parents, younger sister and I were all blessed to have found this wonderful cultivation practice. However, Jiang Zemin, the former Chinese Communist Party leader launched a persecution against Falun Dafa in July 1999. My sister and I were unlawfully sent to a forced labor camp for two years. My father was sent to a brainwashing center after visiting my sister and me in the camp.
Falun Dafa practitioners suffered unimaginable torture in the labor camp. The guards and inmates there treated us as enemies. Despite the intensive persecution meant to destroy my willpower, I stood firm in my belief.
My husband chose to divorce me within a month of me being taken to the camp in 2000. He was afraid of getting caught up in the persecution, and he was also deceived by the lies perpetrated by the state-run media.
At the time, I was told to sign a piece of paper for divorce, but I have never seen the divorce certificate or a divorce agreement. Previously, in that same year, I was fired from my public office position. There was no formal process to expel me. The supervisor simply said that they were afraid to be involved with the persecution.
After two years and one month in the forced labor camp, I returned to my parents’ home. I lost everything from the past. Relatives and friends kept a distance from my family for fear of the police. We were also monitored and visited by the authorities, especially on sensitive dates.
One day in the second half of 2010, my ex-husband’s family called to tell me that he was sick and needed my help. After visiting him, I learned that he was suffering from lymphoma. His voice was so hoarse that it was hard to hear him speak. He already had three operations and was only expected to live for about four months.
I discussed his situation with a fellow practitioner. The practitioner thought that my ex-husband still had hope, as it was not a coincidence for me to be involved. The key factor for his recovery was dependent on his viewpoint towards Dafa.
When I visited my ex-husband again a few days later, I told him, “Only Dafa can save you now. You know very well that Dafa improved my health.”
After talking with my ex-husband for a while, I gave him a Dafa keepsake and a Shen Yun Performing Arts DVD. I told him to recite, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and that our Teacher, the founder of Falun Dafa, would bless him if he said these words sincerely and persistently. He had the desire to live and so listened to me closely and eagerly accepted the keepsake and DVD.
My ex-husband called me a few months later, speaking in a clear, loud voice. He said that he was much better now and he recognized the magnificence of Dafa.
He continues to live well and is very healthy, even though the doctor had given him about four months to live.
My 80-year-old father suddenly fell ill in June 2015. He fell in and out of consciousness two days later and occasionally was unable to move the left side of his body. Despite my elder sister and brother strongly urging him to go to the hospital, my father refused to go. We respected his wishes and carefully took care of him at home.
However, his condition worsened every day, and he fell unconscious for longer periods of time. He eventually lost control of his bowels and bladder. Neighbors and relatives said that we should begin preparing for his death, which might happen in a few days.
I firmly believed in my heart that my father would overcome the illness because he is a Dafa practitioner. I played Teacher’s lectures every day for him to listen to, and helped him to recite, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He followed me slowly sentence by sentence.
Although my father’s condition did not improve much, I truly believed that he would be fine again soon. Four of us siblings would help our father go for a short walk every day. However, having lost control of his left leg, my father could only walk a few steps.
A miracle occurred a month later.
My father suddenly became alert. Although he was still recovering, his cognitive ability was restored to normal. Lying in bed, my father used the stronger right side of his body to practice the Falun Dafa exercises. He would sweat a lot but kept doing them.
He listened to Teacher’s lectures every day, and because of his firm belief in Teacher and Dafa, my father miraculously recovered two months later and was able to walk again without assistance.
Our neighbors and relatives thought that his recovery was incredible. One of his good friends told him, “You should thank your Teacher. You should have died, but Falun Dafa saved you!”
My father is now 84 years old and is very healthy. His hair has even turned black again, like it was in his younger years. This is the magnificence of Dafa!
I hope that all people can understand the truth about Falun Dafa and treasure the rare opportunities to learn more and be saved. People will be protected by Dafa when they sincerely recite, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
