Escaping Serious Injury During the Earthquake By a Falun Gong Practitioner in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province
(Clearwisdom.net) A massive earthquake struck China's Sichuan Province early in the afternoon
of May 12, 2008. Hundreds of schools and houses collapsed and thousands of
students and residents were buried in the ruins--what a tragedy! Beichuan County
was hit hardest. Luckily, however, many people were able to miraculously escape
this unexpected natural disaster. Below are some of their stories. 1. An Entire Class Escapes On May 12 at noon, a class of students at Beichuan High School who were close
to graduation did not have a scheduled class. They asked Ms. Lin, the physical
education teacher, who is a Falun Gong practitioner, to give them one more
physical education lesson. Ms. Lin did not have another class to teach, so she
agreed. As soon as Ms. Lin and the students walked onto the playground, the
earthquake occurred. The school buildings collapsed within seconds, and a crack
opened in the ground over 60 cm wide (about 2 feet wide). One child fell into
the gap but was immediately pulled out by Ms. Lin. The schoolyard is bordered by
mountains. A huge landslide was triggered by the earthquake. Stones, large and
small, rolled down the hill, and smashed into Ms. Lin, hitting and bruising her
hands, face, and back. At that split second, Ms. Lin thought about the
children's safety, and immediately asked Teacher for help, "Teacher, please
save us!" All of a sudden, the stones stopped falling, as if they had
received a command. Ms. Lin immediately clarified the truth, telling
the students that during this crisis, those who understood the truth about Falun
Gong and withdrew from the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers would
be safe. All 23 students learned the truth, and they all withdrew from the
Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers. They all signed a statement to
that effect using their real names. Since there was no paper on the playground,
they opened a paper box, and everyone solemnly signed his or her name on it, at
the end of a precious "Three-Withdrawal Statement." (At this time,
considering the children's safety, the photo of their signatures will not be
published.) 2. Magically Thrown to the First Floor Xiao Wang is Ms. Lin's husband. When the earthquake happened, Mr. Xiao was in their 4th floor
apartment in Beichuan County. The building was collapsing, and it was too late
for him to escape. However, he was "ejected" to the 2nd
floor. (He used the word "eject" to describe a magical force), then he
was immediately "ejected" to the ground floor. In front of the ground
floor where he landed was a hole. He went through the hole and came out on the
other side. He had only minor injures on his hand and head. It is believed that
this reflects the principle that, "When a person practices a righteous way,
the whole family benefits." 3. Both Husband and Wife Out of Danger In Xinkai Village, Wudu Town, Mianzhu City, lives a couple, and the wife owns
a mushroom farm. Both husband and wife always take a nap around noon and often
sleep deeply. On May 12, somehow the husband could not sleep. After the
earthquake started, the husband quickly carried his wife out the door. They were
down on the ground with their nose and face covered in dust. When they came to
their senses, the house had already collapsed. Both husband and wife withdrew from the CCP some time ago. They were happy
that they had escaped this disaster, and some would say that their withdrawing
from the CCP helped to guarantee their safety . 4. A Story from Li County A Falun Gong practitioner's relative lives in Li County. During the
earthquake, his house was the only one that did not collapse; nearby houses all
collapsed. He felt sad for his neighbors and felt lucky because he too believes
that, "When a person practices a righteous way, the whole family
benefits." Posting date: 6/24/2008 |
