(Clearwisdom.net) During the Chinese New Year this year, an old colleague of mine who is a division chief, came to visit me. The first thing he said was, "I am thankful to Master Li for saving my life!" He then said, "If it wasn't for Master's salvation, a cancer patient like myself would have died long ago."

I recall in the fall of 2008 when I ran into him in a park. He was wandering around and appeared to be worn out. He looked emaciated, tired, and very old, and I couldn't help but feel compassion for him. I asked him what had happened. He said, "I have late-stage oesophagus cancer. A colleague of mine who was in the hospital with the same illness passed away a month ago. I can't eat or sleep. I take medication and injections every day now, and it's hard to say when it will be over for me."

I realized that as a Dafa practitioner it's my responsibility to save him. I comforted him and told him about some articles I had read on the Minghui (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net) and Zhengjian websites about people who had miraculously recovered from terminal illnesses after they learned the truth about the goodness of Falun Gong, withdrew from Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations, and recited "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good." He was happy to hear about such people, but didn't really believe it. I asked for his phone number and address, so I could contact him and help him understand the truth.

The next day, my wife and I went to visit him. We brought the book Zhuan Falun, some CDs, and some other materials. We talked for about two hours, telling him the true situation of Falun Dafa and the persecution, from beginning to end. We focused on the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, the Tiananmen self-immolation case, and the truth behind the April 25 appeal. Because we were earnest he appeared to be moved. He said, "Many good-hearted people told me about this practice or that practice, but I didn't pay any attention to them. After listening to you I think I get it. Now I understand many things. It is predestined that we know each other." He also said, "I will study Zhuan Falun, and carefully read the Nine Commentaries and other truth-clarifying materials." Before we left, he and his wife both happily withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

In the spring of 2009, the division chief and his wife came to visit me. As soon as he walked into our home, he put his hands together in the heshi position and said, "I have benefited greatly." He had gained weight, and his complexion looked better. I said, "You look much better than before." He replied happily, "During the past half year, I read Zhuan Falun every day and recited 'Falun Dafa is good' and 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' I am now able to eat and sleep well. I have more strength in my legs as well. I previously had to rest after climbing a flight of stairs, and now I can walk up easily." I told him, "Teacher has done all of these things. Teacher cleansed your body and extended your life. Teacher saved your life!"

Since then, my wife and I have often visited the division chief, to help him study the Fa and practice the exercises better. We have shared our cultivation experiences and taught him the exercises. He is becoming healthier and healthier. He told us that he hasn't needed any medicine or injections for a year.

The division chief also told us, "Many people are surprised at my miraculous recovery. My colleagues and neighbors ask me what wonder drug I took. I tell them that I didn't take any special medicine. It was the Teacher of Falun Dafa who saved my life and brought me back from the brink of death." He held my hands and earnestly said to me, "I am very certain about these nine characters ("Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" in Chinese), I will recite them for the rest of my life!"
