(Clearwisdom.net) In November 1998, I started to feel ill and was diagnosed with late-term breast cancer. I was very weak. One day when I was feeling hopeless, I noticed many people reading books together as a group at a public park near my home. Out of curosity, I approached them and asked what they were reading. They told me that they were studying Falun Gong books. I asked if it would cure my illness. One of the ladies knew me and about my cancer. She said that Falun Gong is not about treating illness, but about cultivating one's xinxing (morality). Her answer piqued my interest.

I used to suffer from depression, insomnia and had generally poor health. I tried many different schools of qigong, but none of them worked. Despite all of the money I had spent attending expensive qigong classes, I was becoming increasingly ill. I longed to know more about what they were doing, so I told them I was interested in cultivating my xinxing too. She considered my request, then she left.

The next morning I went to the park to wait for her. I greeted her when she showed up. "You returned from your group practice?" "Yes," she smiled. "May I read the Falun Gong books?" She left without an answer.

For some reason I did not leave. I continued to wait. Ten minutes later she came back with a book. "Why don't you study the book three times before you decide whether you want to practice Falun Gong?" It was Zhuan Falun. It took me one day to finish reading the book from cover to cover. The more I read Zhuan Falun, the more I want to read more. I even stayed up reading it. For a very long time, I had been contemplating the meaning of life and my existence. All of my questions were answered in this book.

I decided to start practicing Falun Gong and return to my true self. In less than a week my health underwent tremendous improvement. I ate and slept well. My complexion turned rosy. I felt illness-free. It was beyond description. I stopped taking medicine and receiving chemotherapy. Six months later I had a physical exam at a hospital and got a clean bill of health. Soon I started working again. My old colleagues surrounded me and asked, "You look great. How did you make such a speedy recovery?" "I have been practicing Falun Gong," I explained. Everyone said that I was a changed woman with a better temper and good health. They marvelled at the miracle of Falun Gong.

There was an orchid hanging in my office. One day I touched it casually. Then many colleagues noticed that many petite white flowers suddenly blossomed. They exclaimed, "You have a magic touch. There were no blossoms before you touched it. Now it is full of blossoms!" I was just as amazed. I could hardly believe my eyes. Finally I realized it was the energy from Falun Gong.

One day there was a very gusty wind. I heard the noise of the wind on my way to work, but I did not feel any wind on my body. My colleagues had to hold each others' hands in order to charge forward, but I traveled to work with ease.

These two experiences encouraged me to believe in Falun Gong and to cultivate myself diligently.

I am a victim of the Chinese Communist regime's suppression of Falun Gong that began on July 20, 1999. I have been steadfast in my faith in Teacher and Falun Gong, and have been following Teacher's words to do the three things. As long as we have righteous thoughts, we can prevail over all obstacles and tribulations.
