Falun Dafa Has Given Me the Miracle of Life

By Dong Mei, a Dafa practitioner in Hebei Province

(Clearwisdom.net) I have been poor since childhood, so I have always attempted to be successful. However, after years of struggling for fame and personal gain, I had not received anything except diseases all over my body: severe rheumatic arthritis, sciatica, bursitis in my shoulder, and neurasthenia, and the medication I was given was useless. In 1994, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After an operation, I was diagnosed with leukopenia, and my white blood cell count dropped to 1900. I did not feel comfortable in any part of my body, and I was in great pain constantly, even when turning over while sleeping. I then lost my job and could not pay my medical expenses. At that point, I was over 40 years old, with parents and children relying on me.

A doctor advised me to try Qigong, so I decided to give it a try. At that time, there were all kinds of Qigong in the parks. I tried many different kinds, but my health did not improve.

In the summer of 1995 when I was doing some morning exercises, someone gave me a book called Falun Gong. I finished reading it in one sitting when I got home. I thought this book was so wonderful. The more I read it, the more I was amazed by it. I was moved deeply by the profound principles in the book, and I stepped onto the path of cultivating in Falun Dafa. I understood why a person should cultivate: to return to the true self and to become a truly good person. Soon all of my pain disappeared. My entire body felt light, I did not feel tired even after a lot of hard work, and I no longer needed to take any medicine. I was perfectly healthy for several years. This was the second life that Teacher gave me, and my worldview changed completely. I now cultivate myself according to "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance".

After July 20, 1999, with much consideration, I decided that cultivation was still the right choice. During the past five years, I, along with other practitioners, have experienced various forms of persecution. In order to validate Dafa, I have written to each level of the government. When I did not get any response, I went to Beijing to appeal. However, what I got in return was a jail cell, torture and fines. I have been sent to jail five times and sent to brainwashing class once. During a time of seemingly endless detention, I was tortured and the symptoms of my old diseases returned. Because my weight dropped from 65 kg (143 lbs.) to 45 kg (99 lbs.), the policemen feared that I might die inside the jail and released me on bail for medical treatment. After the physical examination, I was diagnosed with cancer. My blood pressure reached as high as 180, my white blood cell count dropped to 2600, breathing was difficult, and my life was in danger. But when the doctors were trying their best to rescue me, the policemen wanted to send me back to the detention center. Finally, under pressure from the doctors, I was kept in the hospital. Even in this state, the police were still afraid that I would go to Beijing and dispatched someone to watch me night and day.

Finally, because the cancer had proliferated and I was close to death, I was sent back home. After going home, I persisted in practicing the Falun Gong exercises. In just 20 days, I recovered my health. Everyone who saw me was amazed. When I was tortured to the verge of death, Falun Dafa saved my life once again.
