(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Zhang is seventy-two years old, and lives in a village west of Jiaonan in Shandong Province. In 2000 she developed hyperosteogeny, and later she hurt her back. She took a folk remedy, but it did not work. She became bedridden and could not even turn over in the bed. A Falun Dafa practitioner saw that she was suffering and attempted to tell her about Falun Dafa, but Ms. Zhang refused to listen or believe.

In August 2000, the same practitioner came to Ms. Zhang's home again. She had been lying in bed for over forty days. Her family wanted her to get up and move around, but she still could not turn. She was in agony.

Ms. Zhang's husband asked the practitioner, "You are almost in your eighties, and you had back pain in the past. How did you get well?" The practitioner answered, "I got well by practicing Falun Gong." Her husband said, "Practicing Falun Gong can cure illness?" This time, Ms. Zhang listened. She paid attention to what the practitioner was saying and got herself to sit up in the bed. She told the practitioner, "Let's go. I want to learn Falun Gong at your home." The practitioner asked, "Are you sure? In your state?" Ms. Zhang said with confidence, "Yes!" The practitioner gave her a cane and supported her on her other side while walking her to her home. Ms. Zhang watched the video of Master's first lecture in Guangzhou. In a few days, she finished the nine lectures, and started to read Zhuan Falun. A little less than two months went by, and one night she happily told others, "Tonight I feel a large pair of hands working on me and fixing up my back. Let us all Heshi and thank Master!" She came to see the practitioner the next morning and said, "Last night after I went home, I still felt the hands working on me. Today, my back pain is completely gone! Thank you Master! Thank you Dafa!"

Ms. Zhang is very healthy now. She can even go out to work in the fields. Whenever people ask her how she got well, she proudly answers, "I got well by practicing Falun Gong!" Her story is spreading in her local area. Many people have witnessed her miraculous recovery.
