(Minghui.org) I never thought that my sister and I would meet again, until I heard about her critical illness a year ago. For several years, she refused to contact me after I was persecuted for practicing Falun Dafa. She was afraid that getting involved with any Falun Dafa practitioner might impact her son’s career as a military officer.
After hearing that she was receiving chemotherapy to fight cancer, I decided to reach out and tell her about Falun Dafa. It was quite a distance for me to travel to the hospital, but I knew I must go visit her. Upon arriving at the hospital, my brother-in-law explained that my sister was suffering from late-stage bone marrow cancer. The chance of survival was not optimistic and the doctor had not yet told her the prognosis.
My sister was surprised at my visit and cried emotionally. I felt very sorry to see her confined to bed, unable to move around much. I comforted her, “Sister, don’t cry. Only Teacher Li Hongzhi can save you now. You will be fine with the help of Teacher and Dafa.” I put headphones over her ears and played Teacher’s lecture audio for her. She was very happy and continued to listen to the lectures day and night. I asked her to recite “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion- Forbearance is good.” She followed my suggestion gladly.
The chemotherapy treatments were divided into several phases. She stayed in the hospital for 24 days and then rested at home for 24 days. I went to her place to teach her the Falun Dafa exercises and let her watch Teacher’s exercise lecture video. At first, she could not even stand up steadily. I told her to do her best and she would improve gradually. After a period of time, I called to check on her. She felt much better physically and mentally after listening to Dafa lectures and practicing the exercises daily.
The next time I visited my sister, it was a pleasant surprise to see her walking without crutches. What an astonishing improvement!
My sister said, “Thank you so much for introducing me to Falun Dafa. Without practicing Dafa, I would still be lying in bed.” I replied, “You should thank Master Li Hongzhi. It’s Teacher who saved you. I am just a messenger sent to tell you about Dafa.” My sister expressed gratitude and respect for Teacher.
Later on, I brought her a copy of Zhuan Falun, Teacher’s portrait and a few other Falun Dafa books. She studies the books and practices the exercises diligently every day. She also helped many of her family members withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations. I was very happy that she finally cleared up her misunderstandings and accepted the truthful facts about Dafa.
Sometimes she worried that Teacher might not watch over her because she obtained the Fa later in life. I explained that Teacher has helped her survive cancer. Teacher is very compassionate and protects and guides all true practitioners.
Her family witnessed the miracle of her rapid recovery. In a few months, she changed from a patient unable to take care of herself to a normal person who prepares meals for the family. Her appearance improved as well. She lost hair after chemotherapy, but now it has grown back fuller and darker than before. Her family was overjoyed to see her healthy again. My brother-in-law summed it up well, “Falun Dafa brings happiness to our family.”
