(Minghui.org) I’m a 30-year-old female, who grew up in a big city in China. I am currently working after graduating from college. I want to share my experience in high school 14 years ago to demonstrate the miraculous power of Falun Dafa.
Disappearance of Symptoms of Acute Appendicitis
In 2010, I was attending an advanced class at a top-ranked high school in our province. Under China’s education system, students face tremendous pressure to enter higher education. The homework was endless for various subjects, and I often studied until 11 p.m., sometimes until the early morning.
The students were ranked at the middle and end of each semester. After each exam, the teacher in charge of the class would praise the top-ranked students, criticize the students who had fallen behind, and talk to the students whose grades had dropped. The teachers often emphasized the significance of the scores and getting into top universities. We were put under a lot of pressure.
During chemistry class in my first year in high school, I suddenly felt pain in the lower right side of my abdomen. I had difficulty focusing on the teacher’s lecture, but I endured the pain and waited for the end of school to go home and rest. The school happened to be closed for the next few days.
The high school teachers left us a week’s worth of homework. I continued to have stomach pains over the following days. At night, I suffered from repeated cramps, tossed and turned, and could not sleep. I was unable to eat during the day. My mother made porridge for me, but I felt nauseous after eating it. She was very anxious and quickly looked up my symptoms online. They were symptoms of an acute appendicitis.
She went to the pharmacy to get me some Chinese medicine. But it had no effect; I still had cramps at night and couldn’t sleep.
In desperation from the extreme pain, I thought of Falun Dafa. My family had been exposed to Dafa before the persecution started in 1999, and we witnessed the miraculous health improvements of those who practiced it. They were sick before but became healthy after practicing Falun Dafa.
On July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began the persecution of Falun Dafa. Our Dafa practitioner friends were forced out of their jobs, made homeless, and lost their families because they legally petitioned for the right to practice Dafa. We were terrified and hid our Falun Dafa’s books and dared not tell others that we practiced Dafa.
I knelt before Master Li’s portrait and prayed in my heart: “Master, please save me. I really can’t stand it.” Unexpectedly, a miracle happened. My stomach stopped hurting instantly! The acute pain, which had lasted for several days and made me unable to sleep and eat, disappeared. I was cured without an appendectomy!
Severe Depression Disappears After Practicing Dafa
Due to the pain, I could not complete some of my homework. I was very nervous when I went back to school. On the first day back, I couldn’t hand in my math homework because I didn’t do it. My math teacher was very strict. At the time, the CCP was madly persecuting Falun Dafa, so I didn’t dare tell the teachers what I had been going through.
In the afternoon, the math teacher came to my seat and said, “Why didn’t you hand in your homework today? What happened? Tell me the truth.” I could only whisper that I didn’t do it. The teacher trembled in anger and said, “Then do it once and copy it once as punishment.” There was a burst of laughter in the class. But I didn’t dare say anything. After school, I became terrified and didn’t return to school.
My English teacher was in charge of my class. She was also very strict with her students. She visited my home and tried to understand the situation. We could only tell her that I was sick those days and didn’t do my homework. We didn’t dare tell her how I got better.
When she took me back to class, I felt that my classmates were staring at me. Gradually, I started to skip school. My mental state was horrible, and I didn’t want to go back. My physics teacher was the chief of general affairs. After learning about my situation, he became very concerned and came to my home with my English teacher. After chatting with me and my parents, he suggested that I see a psychiatrist.
The next day, my parents took me to the provincial tertiary hospital and spent 50 yuan to register for psychological counseling. The female psychiatrist asked me about my situation, and I replied, “I don’t dare go to school.”
She said, “If you continue like this, you will have to take psychotropic drugs.” I was even more scared after hearing this and promised her I would go back to school.
After the psychiatric counseling, my depression became worse. I was afraid of going to school and facing the ridicule of my classmates. I was even becoming afraid of going out and meeting strangers.
I was seriously depressed. I hid at home, curled up on the floor, and trembled in fear. My mother was anxious and cried a lot. She felt helpless and didn’t know what to do. With nowhere else to go, we thought about whether we should try practicing Falun Dafa again.
My mother took me to the home of a senior Dafa practitioner whom we had known before 1999. She gave me a copy of Falun Dafa’s main book, Zhuan Falun and took us to other Dafa practitioners’ homes. We meditated together and read Zhuan Falun and Master’s other lectures. The principles of Falun Dafa enlightened me: I gradually learned how to face ridicule, pressure, and setbacks. I began to become brave, confident, and strong, and my mental state improved over time.
Under the guidance of Dafa’s principles, I was willing to go to school. I faced the criticism and ridicule of my classmates bravely and gradually made up for the lessons I had missed. It was the most critical period for science classes in the second year of high school. I missed the physics class related to magnetic fields, and physics was my weakest subject.
However, I insisted on attending the Fa-study group every week and reading Falun Dafa’s series of books with other practitioners. Dafa opened my wisdom. A year and a half later, I was admitted to a university with a science score of 531 on the college entrance examination, without attending any additional curricular classes. There was a female student who was also depressed and skipped school in our advanced class. Her parents took her to see various psychologists, including a German psychologist, but the problem was not solved.
If it weren’t for Master’s protection and enlightenment, I would have dropped out of school due to severe depression, and it would have been impossible for me to enter a university and get a job after graduation.
I would like to express my gratitude to compassionate Master for his merciful salvation!
