(Minghui.org) One morning in the spring of 1997, I suddenly heard beautiful music from a factory near my home. I looked for the sound and saw a large group of Falun Dafa practitioners doing the meditative exercises together.
The smooth and graceful movement attracted me. Looking at their calm and peaceful faces, I felt like they were old friends whom I hadn’t seen for a long time. I felt a strong current going through me and I was filled with emotion.
A volunteer instructor saw that I was interested in the exercises. He came over and asked me if I wanted to learn. I said yes. For the next three mornings, I learned the first four exercises.
Even though I did not cultivate as diligently as I hoped, due to my busy work schedule, I noticed that my environment changed: my relationship with my husband became harmonious; the conflicts at work went away; the ailments I had, such as bleeding ulcers, heart disease, and gynecologic problems, all disappeared.
During this period, I attended two large experience sharing conferences with Dafa practitioners. The county magistrate burst into tears of gratitude as he recounted how he recovered after being paralyzed for eight years. The life of a retired teacher in his 70s, who was dying of a terminal illness, was renewed. Their touching stories helped me to become more firm in my belief in Dafa and appreciate Master Li, Dafa’s founder, even more.
Over the past twenty years of cultivation, I’ve encountered numerous dangerous situations, but with Master’s protection, I survived each time. In this article, I would like to share how Master protected me in three motor vehicle accidents.
On May 4, 2009, after I distributed informational materials about Dafa, my husband took me home on his bicycle. Suddenly, we were hit head-on by a car driving at a high speed. My husband was fine, but I fell to the ground, landing on my head. My left hand hit the ground and the wrist bone was completely severed, leaving my hand connected to the arm through the tendons.
When the two of us got up from the ground, the driver had already fled, and the bicycle was completely destroyed. We were in a remote region without any homes or shops nearby, and we were still far from home. What should we do?
My husband held my injured arm and supported me. We walked for an hour and arrived at a hospital. The surgeon immediately cleaned and disinfected my arm and did local anesthesia. I did not notice any pain before or after the injection but just felt numb. I realized that Master was enduring the pain for me. The surgeon spent three hours positioning the bone and applying the cast.
When I got home, I had a hard time finding a comfortable position, as the cast was always in the way. I also began to feel the pain. If I accidentally touched my arm against something, the pain was unbearable. On the third night, I was exhausted. While I was half asleep, I suddenly felt a warm hand touching my fractured area. I felt a “click” and the pain subsided. Not long after, it did not hurt at all.
My skin inside and outside of the cast developed blisters and then broke. Pink fluid seeped out and then scabbed up. More than ten days later, the cast was too loose to wear. I asked the doctor to remove the cast. He refused, telling me, “You have to wear it for 100 days. You had a serious injury and you cannot afford misalignment.”
After I got home, I took off the cast so I could do the exercises with ease. On the 27th day, I went back to the hospital for a checkup. The X-ray showed perfect alignment and I had completely recovered. One could barely tell my wrist had been fractured. The doctor was impressed. “I have been practicing medicine for years, and I never saw such fast a recovery from such a serious injury,” he said.
On November 20, 2017, around 3 p.m., I went to a nearby village to distribute Dafa materials. As I was crossing the road, I looked around and there were no cars. The next moment, a car suddenly hit me. I flew into the air and landed about 20 meters away.
Just as I was about to pass out, I heard someone calling me: “Hey! Hey! How are you? Get up and see where you are hurt. I’ll take you to the hospital.” The voice seemed very far away from me. I could barely open my eyes and also felt that the world was spinning.
The driver and his wife tried to help me up, but the pain was excruciating when they touched me. My left arm was out of commission, with enourmous pain in my left shoulder. The upper arm was fractured and dislocated. My left hip was also dislocated. Although I couldn’t move, I still told the couple, “I will be fine, you can go.” They left in a hurry.
My husband called a taxi to pick me up. It was an ordeal to get me into the car, as any movement would cause extreme pain and I almost passed out due to pain. It took us another hour for him to help me get out of the car and put me in bed.
I could not sit or lie down. My left leg was so swollen that I couldn’t bend it. I kept reciting “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” My husband placed the quilt and pillows around my hip to provide some support.
My husband wanted to take time off from work (he worked the night shift) to care for me. But I asked him not to worry about me. I told him I would be fine if he could help me prepare the media player with Master’s lectures. I listened to the Fa teachings all evening. While I was half asleep, I saw Master coming and giving lectures on stage.
After a while, I wanted to move around, but the left side of my body was as heavy as a huge chunk of rock. I could not take off my pants and coat. My left arm, leg, hand, and foot were extremely swollen and purple and black. The pain was beyond words. I woke up five minutes before sending forth righteous thoughts. I tried my best to focus and sent righteous thoughts. Then my husband came back from work.
I woke up at 2 a.m. and asked my husband to help me go to the bathroom. He first transferred me to a chair, which took half an hour, and then dragged the chair and me to the bathroom.
I decided to stay in the living room which would make it easier to get to the bathroom. He refused, as it would be too cold for me (in southern China, there is no heat in the wintertime). He wrapped me up with a quilt while I sat on the chair. Initially, I was cold. But as I continued to listen to the Fa lectures, I felt that I was enveloped by a warm current. I fell asleep and I saw Master again on stage.
When I woke up, it was time for the morning exercises. I sat on the chair and began the movements. I could clearly feel Falun rotating around my injured area. It was very comfortable. I stayed in the living room for about twenty days. I did not worry whether I would recover. I just listened to the Fa teachings, exercised, sent forth righteous thoughts, and memorized Hong Yin IV. It was amazing that I did not feel the pain anymore. The swelling slowly subsided. I could raise my left arm to my chest. My left leg was no longer painful and I could sit in the lotus position again.
One day, I had a thought that I should resume doing the standing exercises. It was not easy initially, as I was weak and could only stand for a short time. When I began to do the exercises, I could clearly feel the power of Falun that moved my arms up and down, particularly during the fourth exercise. After that, standing up and sitting down became a lot easier.
I began to walk around the bed, one small step at a time. Even with a little improvement, my husband would be very happy, “Good, very good.” I knew that Master was encouraging me through my husband. After 45 days, I completely recovered.
I went to the dentist on the afternoon of November 13, 2021. When crossing the road, I was knocked down by a speeding car. The blow was so powerful, I spun around 360 degrees and came down hard on my left foot.
The driver was a young fellow. He called the police and waited. My foot was already swollen. After the police came and recorded the information, he urged the young man to take me to the hospital. I had four fractures around the left ankle. The doctor applied a cast and was ready to hospitalize me.
I wanted to go home and asked the doctor to release me. He warned me, “Your injured area is at the weight-bearing point, make sure to rest and do not walk prematurely. Otherwise it would be easily misaligned and become infected. The consequence will be dire.” I knew in my heart, as a cultivator, that that would never happen.
After I came home, I studied the Fa and exercised like usual, even though it was very painful. Because of the cast, my leg calf was very swollen which compromised the circulation. I had blisters that later broke and oozed yellowish fluid, itching intensely. After three days, during my sleep, my foot would wiggle left and right, up and down. It was very comfortable and eased the itching. Later, the movement would repeat itself. Each time, the injured foot would feel a lot better. After twenty days, I was able to walk around without pain. One month later, the X-ray showed that the ankle had healed well.
In addition to my own amazing recoveries, my husband, a mechanical repair technician, was also protected by Dafa. Once, a grinder wheel became detached while he was using it. It only caused a minor cut on his lip and then turned to the opposite direction. His colleagues all commented that he must have done something really good to receive such a blessing. On another occasion, a one-foot-wide bearing fell on his foot. But he only had a minor scratch, without any injury to his bones.
