(Clearwisdom.net) I am a woman from a rural area and was diagnosed with brain shrinkage towards the beginning of 2004. I became bedridden and started taking medicine and injections every day for over a year. My condition became worse and worse and I eventually became completely paralyzed even though my family spent over 10,000 yuan in medical costs.

We weren't in a financially sound situation after spending all that money treating my illness, so we no longer could afford any more medication. We had seniors and children in the family and I felt that my condition was making everyone suffer. For a while, I thought of suicide.

Just when I was running out of options, a friend said to us, "I will give you a book. If you truly want to learn it, it would be good for your family and your illness."

I am illiterate. My husband read Zhuan Falun. Afterward, he told me that it was a good book, a heavenly book. He said, "If you want to learn, I could read it to you everyday." With his help, I agreed to learn Falun Gong.

Just like that, my husband would read a few paragraphs to me everyday. After he read from it, I felt good all over my body; a feeling hard to describe in words. That friend of ours often came to visit us. He told me that I should not learn Falun Gong for the sake of curing my illness and that it is a cultivation practice. He also told me to recite the words "Falun Dafa is good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" everyday. He said that was better for me since I cannot read.

I remembered his words. Instead of listening to my husband read from Zhuan Falun for me everyday, I would recite, "Falun Dafa is good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good." After several months, I felt strength in my body. I had more confidence in learning Dafa, but I still could not move or get out of the bed. I could not do the exercises. What was I to do? My friend said I could try to do the second exercise by holding the wheel positions lying down. In the beginning, it was very difficult for me, but after a while, I felt my strength returning. I could turn myself, and my complexion was getting better too, just like a normal person's. My whole family saw the changes in me and was very happy. I became more confident. Falun Dafa is truly amazing.

In less a year, I was able to sit up. Soon after I was able to stand up, then walk around. Falun Dafa has given me a second chance at life. Soon I will able to work. It is Master Li that saved my family and me. I am very grateful to Falun Dafa.
