(Clearwisdom.net) In May 2001, I attended an experience sharing conference in my hometown. During the conference, four policemen broke into the meeting room. To avoid arrest, I jumped from a third floor window. Unfortunately, I suffered a spinal injury and a broken pelvis. Doctors said I would be paralyzed if I didn't get treatment. I agreed to a major surgery on my spine. After the surgery, my doctor prescribed pain killers for me, and my family also begged me to take them. But I knew as a practitioner I shouldn't take drugs such as morphine. I decided to endure the excruciating pain. For a whole night, I couldn't sleep. Sweat drenched my entire body. As I was enduring the pain, I recalled Master's words:

"When any being in this cosmos has enlightened to his Fa, his Fa-principles, or his Attainment Status--no matter at what level--he has to go through a truly serious test. This determines whether what he has enlightened to can hold ground in this cosmos, and it establishes his mighty virtue. That's why all beings encounter in their cultivation the kind of situation we're experiencing today."("Teaching the Fa at the Western U.S. Fa Conference" in Guiding the Voyage)

Shortly after that, the pain ended and my condition improved quickly. Fellow patients in my room were all amazed. A nurse gave me a thumbs up: "You are remarkable." After that, I never felt the pain again. During my hospital stay, I took every opportunity to clarify the truth and validate Dafa's supernatural power. Not long after that, I checked out of the hospital and returned home. I was able to read Dafa books again.

I let go of all my attachments. My heart was very calm. During my recovery in the hospital, I experienced so much suffering. I lost control of my bladder and bowel movement. I survived high fever after the surgery. I was paralyzed from the waist down. I couldn't even turn over. I survived all these with a practitioner's determination. Doctors told me, "Your surgery was a great success." Upon hearing this, tears came down my cheeks. Master is taking care of me and he's given me the best of the best. When I finally returned home, I could not walk. I treated everything I encountered with righteous thoughts and read Dafa books every day. One day when I was reading Zhuan Falun, the following sentence came to me,

"When I held classes in other regions some things happened all the time. There'd always be some people who felt awful, and they'd be sitting there bent over their seats, they wouldn't get up, and they'd just wait for me to come down off the stage to heal them. But I wouldn't heal them. You can't even clear that hurdle, and later on when you cultivate on your own you are going to have a lot of big tribulations, so if you can't even clear this one, tell me, how are you going to cultivate? You can't even overcome that little thing? You can all definitely overcome those things." (The Second Talk, Zhuan Falun)

I realized that I would walk on my own, and I would go out to clarify the truth and save people.

A miracle happened after that thought. My physical strength magically recovered. My sister-in-law suggested that I use crutches. I knew that I shouldn't rely on any external help and I started to walk on my own legs. People couldn't believe their eyes: In less than two months I was walking again.

I immediately began to distribute truth-clarifying flyers to people. The police found out about it and tried to arrest me again. I was forced to leave home and travel away from my home town. I continued my effort in validating Dafa. Later I came back home. I asked myself, "Why do I have to leave home? I have done nothing wrong. How could I be afraid of the evil? I will live here. I will not run away again." During the day I often went to the street vendors and pass out truth-clarifying VCD's and clarified the truth to them. The local police and neighborhood association wanted to chase me out of my home, but their intimidation had no effect on me. To this day, I am still doing the three things Master told us to do: Study the Fa, send forth righteous thoughts and clarify the truth.
