(Minghui.org) I live in the countryside and my family struggles with poverty. I was plagued by chronic psoriasis before I began practicing Falun Dafa, which caused me much inconvenience in my daily life. I had to wear long sleeves and long pants even in the sweltering summer, which was truly unbearable. The birth of my daughter brought joy to my difficult life, but when she was six years old, she also showed symptoms of this skin disease, which was a devastating blow to our impoverished family.
I took my daughter to many places for treatment. Ironically, all the doctors we visited claimed they could cure her. However, after we spent a lot of money on treatments and medicine, her condition never improved. At such a young age, her head and eyebrows were covered in psoriasis. Everyone in my home village and my in-laws’ village knew about her condition.
I took my daughter to see a specialist one winter for her chronic psoriasis. We returned home with a new set of medication, which included pills, medicated solution, and ointment. With freezing cold and snow outside and a chilly temperature inside, I gritted my teeth and bathed her. After gently applying the medicated solution and letting it dry, I applied the ointment. Watching my daughter shiver, my heart ached deeply. At my lowest, I even thought of ending my life to end my suffering, but I could never leave my child—she deserved her mother. So, I endured.
Then, one day in October 1998, my life changed forever. My neighbor introduced me to Falun Dafa. At that time, I didn’t know anything about it but simply wanted to relieve my daughter’s suffering. I borrowed the book Zhuan Falun. After reading it, I felt from the bottom of my heart that Dafa was truly wonderful.
I began practicing Dafa at that time, and participated in group study sessions and exercises. Before I even realized it, both my daughter’s and my psoriasis were completely healed. Master gave us new lives, and I am deeply grateful to Master.
One autumn after harvest, my husband, my father-in-law, and I pushed a handcart to our corn field up on the mountain and loaded it with several burlap sacks of corn, tied down securely with rope. On the way down, my husband guided the cart from the front, while my father-in-law and I pulled the rope taught from behind. Suddenly, after just a few steps, we lost control of the cart and it hurtled rapidly down the mountain with my husband still clinging to it. My father-in-law and I were horrified, frozen in shock, terrified for his safety. When we finally reached the bottom, I was astonished. A large locust tree had stopped the runaway cart, and the front of the cart was imbedded deep into the tree. I frantically looked for my husband and found him standing in a daze not far away from the cart. I asked him how he had managed to avoid being crushed. He replied, “I don’t know.” I checked on him and he was completely unharmed. At that moment, I knew in my heart that Master had protected him and watches over our entire family!
In the fall of 2015, my husband went to a major hospital in the city for a routine physical. To our shock, the doctor diagnosed him with late-stage lung disease. Hoping for a mistake he sought another opinion at another top hospital, but received the same diagnosis. The doctor told him he had only about six months to live. This was a tremendous blow to him. When he came home and shared the information, I gently told him that only Master could save him, and urged him to sincerely seek Master’s protection. I encouraged him to recite the auspicious Dafa phrases, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
My husband, who also embraced Dafa, followed my advice and lived each day counting down the days. He returned to the hospital six months later for a follow-up exam. To our amazement, the doctor reviewed his X-rays and declared him completely healthy. Master had saved his life once again, and our entire family was filled with gratitude for Master’s boundless grace.
On my cultivation journey, I could never have made it this far without Master’s protection. Words cannot convey the depth of my gratitude to Master. I am determined to cultivate diligently, do the three things well, and live up to Master’s compassionate salvation.
