In Only Three Days, My Hunched Back of Twenty Years Became Straight
February 3, 2004
(Clearwisdom.net) Last year, Clearwisdom.net published an article entitled
"Why a Policeman Said, 'Falun Gong Practitioners Are All Wise People.' "
The article discussed about how a policeman had witnessed an elderly woman's
hunched back of over 20 years becoming straight after she practiced Falun Gong
for three months. I tried very hard to find this woman. The following is the
story she told me:
I read the article published about me on Clearwisdom.net. What the policeman
said was largely true but not accurate. After practicing Falun Gong, my illness
was healed in three days, not three months. Really, in only three days, my
twenty-year hunched back became straight! Falun Dafa is so wonderful. I am a
vivid example.
My name is Wu Weiyu. I live in Yishan Village, Liuzhou City. Since I was 50
years old, I have not been able to hold my back upright. For the last 20 years,
I felt pain in my back every single day. My body was nearly at a right angle. I
sought treatment everywhere. I took a lot of medicine and spent a lot of money.
My son was very nice to me. Whenever he learned that there was a good Chinese
doctor somewhere, he took me there for treatment. He also said that he was
willing to spend tens of thousands of Yuan as long as it would cure my illness.
At that time, tens of thousands of Yuan was not a small number [500 Yuan is
equal to the average monthly salary of an urban worker in China].
One day, my neighbor Ms. Li Fengyun told me about a person whose hunched back
of over ten years had become straight after he practiced Falun Gong for only one
year. She asked me if I believed it. I said immediately, "I believe it, I
believe it. Please teach me. I am willing to pay for it." Ms. Li said, "Those of
us who teach Falun Gong are volunteers. We don't collect any fee." After she
said that, she gave me some experience sharing materials from other Falun Gong
practitioners.
I read all the materials that afternoon. That night, while I slept, I felt
something rotating in my belly. I did not know what was going on at that time.
Later, Ms. Li told me that I was very fortunate and had a predestined
relationship with Falun Gong, "You already got a Falun merely from reading the
experience-sharing materials." She then gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun [the
principal teachings of Falun Gong]. She asked me to read the book carefully,
and she taught me the exercises.
After I read Zhuan Falun, I understood many principles. Many questions
that I could never understand became clear. In reality, I had no illness. My
pain and tribulation came from karma because of acts I committed over many
generations. I wanted to cultivate and repay my debts.
The third day after I started to practice Falun Gong was the most
unforgettable day of my life. It was December 25, 1998. On that day, I got up
very early. Although I had only learned two of the exercises, and I could not
even sit with my legs crossed, I went to the park at 4:30 a.m. On the way to the
park, I felt different from ever before; my body felt light and my stomach
muscles were not as tight as before. There were over ten people at the exercise
site. We stood in a circle listening to the exercise music. When we were doing
Exercise Two, holding the wheel, my backbone suddenly made a sound, "crack,
crack, crack." It was very quiet at that time. Everybody there heard the sound
of my backbone. I felt that my body was slowly straitening up. A moment later, I
could see the back of the heads of fellow practitioners. Before, I could only
see other people's legs. For 20 years, I bore the humility and heavy burden of
my hunched back; I often did not understand why I was even alive. It is our
Teacher who delivered me from hell and gave me a healthy body. I could not
describe what I felt then; thousands of words could not express my gratitude to
our Teacher. I knelt down on the ground for a long time, "Teacher, your student
kneels down to you. I could never repay your favor, even over the course of many
lifetimes!"
After we finished our exercises, my fellow practitioners opened their eyes
and asked what the sound was. When they saw me standing there straight, they
were all shocked, "Ah! Ms. Wu, were you that tall?!" Even heaven and earth were
amazed. Everybody at the site shed tears of happiness, pressed their hands
together in the Heshi gesture [Heshi -- a sign of respect], and thanked
our Teacher for his compassion.
About six months later, July 20, 1999 arrived. The persecution of Falun Dafa
practitioners began that day. The Municipal Party Committee of Liuzhou City, the
City Administration, the Police Bureau, and the police stations of all districts
and neighborhoods took turns arresting Falun Gong practitioners, ransacking our
homes, threatening us, and forcing us to give up Falun Gong. Policemen brought
pen and paper and asked me to write a guarantee letter [to renounce Falun
Gong]. I wrote, "My Teacher is the kindest person in the world. His favor to
me is grander than a mountain. I guarantee that I will follow my Teacher all of
this life, life after life, and forever."
I told my story to all the policemen. I gathered all my neighbors and
co-workers as my witnesses. They all testified, "Wu Weiyu indeed had a hunched
back for over 20 years. It was true that her hunched back was cured about half a
year ago. We don't know which Qigong exercise cured her."
On July 28, 1999, two journalists from the column, "Current Situations of the
Police," in a journal run by the Police Bureau of Liuzhou City, and two
policemen from the police bureau came to my house with a TV camera. They
demanded that I read a statement they had already written, saying that my
illness was cured through taking medicine. Instead, I said directly into the
camera, "For over ten years as a hunchback, I lived like a half human and half
dog. Did the party care about me then? Now, my Teacher cured my illness without
any pre-conditions; however, you want me to betray my Teacher and do things
against heaven and my own conscience. I won't do it."
A policeman threatened to send me to a forced labor camp if I did not
cooperate. I said, "Kill me with a knife or a bullet if you dare." Thus, the
videotape could not serve their purpose. This incident was simply forgotten with
time.
In the last five years, I have been persistently studying the Fa and
practicing the exercises. I have not taken a single pill or medicine of any
kind; yet, my body becomes healthier and healthier. I don't care what other
people say; my personal experience has proven that practicing Falun Gong can
make one's body healthier. I will never give up cultivation -- not ever. Posting date: 2/12/2004 |
