Saying "Falun Dafa is Good" Saved My Life

I live in Jixi City of Heilongjiang Province in China and I am 69 years old. In early May of 2006, when I was on the brink of death, simply saying "Falun Dafa is good" saved my life. I have practiced Falun Dafa ever since.

The lives of human beings are most precious. Had it not been for the physical pain I was enduring and imminent death, I may have lost the opportunity to be saved at this time when Falun Gong is being spread. Prior to that, I had not realized how insignificant material gains are in the face of life and death. However, how can people understand that this period we have come to is critical for the existence of our lives? Those who have been persecuted by the evil Chinese Communist Party are especially afraid to enlighten to the purpose of life. I am a case in point.

I was born in a rural area. My family had a difficult life and could afford very little in order to have money to buy land. This left me with a strong impression. When I was nine, the evil party trampled on the landlords and took over all the land, that was during the terribly evil Cultural Revolution. Even though we were very poor, we were not spared. They took me away for interrogation and they wanted to know what we had hidden in our house. When I no longer was able to endure the beatings, I told them that we had a car. The person from the Peasants Association went to my home to search for it and found a wooden cart for a child. My 11-year-old brother could not think of anything to tell them and they told him that he would be taken outside to be shot. When my family went to collect his body, they discovered that it was only a threat and the gun was not loaded. My father got sick and died. My grandmother was going to kill herself beside my grandfather's grave, but was saved by those around her.

I had been living in fear of the evil party due to what had happened to my family when I was young. Coupled with the subsequent political campaigns, I had learned not to say or do anything. Isn't this the result of the evil party's persecution?

Back in 1997, my neighbor Hu Si gave me a Falun Dafa book to read in his home. Without outside pressure, I knew that it was a good book, but I did not practice. In 1999, when the persecution started, I wanted to start practicing Falun Dafa cultivation, but due to my fear of the evil party, I did not start. Affected by the continuous lies from the evil party, I started having doubts about Falun Dafa. Inundated with constant and repeated lies and propaganda, I started to believe it as being the truth. We have all experienced that kind of situation during the past decades.

However, I had read the book Zhuan Falun after all and I knew that what the evil party said was not true. I then no longer believed the lies this time around. I picked up information materials about the truth of Falun Dafa left by practitioners. Through reading this material, I was able to learn about what Falun Dafa had brought to people and what the evil had brought to people. I also learned about the brutality of the persecution, the organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners, as well as the retribution those evildoers received because they persecuted practitioners. Although I knew that Falun Dafa is good, I was still afraid to practice.

With increasing age, my health was deteriorating. I had excruciating stomach pain and high blood pressure. I had a very meager pension, and I could not afford the medical bills, and even after I received some treatments, I still had problems. I constantly had to take medications and injections for the pain. One night in May 2006, I was in extreme pain and nothing helped.

Since I lived very far from the clinic, I couldn't even get any injections. I was unable to even see anything and was extremely cold. No matter how many blankets I used to cover myself, I could not get warm. I then lost consciousness. I knew that I was dying and I told my wife to dress me. Our children were not at home and my wife went to get some help. When she returned, she heard me saying in a feeble voice, "Falun Dafa is good." She suddenly realized that the founder of Falun Gong, Teacher Li is the only one that we could plead to. After I finished repeating the sentence, I lost consciousness. The people that my wife brought to help did not know what to do. My wife, who remained vigil, told me later that I no longer felt as cold and even had sweat on my forehead. My face had turned from dark to rosy and I no longer showed any sign of pain. I was better the following morning and was able to get up. This was a miracle and I knew that Teacher Li had saved me. When will Teacher save people? When he sees that one's heart is in the right place. When I was dying, I made it known that Falun Dafa was wronged and still said that Falun Dafa is good. However, I feel ashamed that I only said it when I was losing consciousness. This was like when someone is dying, they cry out for help. I did it by saying Falun Dafa is good.

Teacher Li came to save people by the way of Falun Dafa. However, those who are amidst tribulations do not realize it. Once I started listening to and reading Teacher's lectures, and following the teachings of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, my stomach no longer hurt. I have not needed any medications or injections for the past year. Not only have I saved on medical expenses, but my family is also happy. I could not have achieved this state of health with medication. I am so blessed to have had the chance to start practising Falun Gong.

From my experience, I have learned that the evil party is not only persecuting Falun Dafa, but also anyone who so happens to come into contact with it. The Party's fate is doomed. If the world's people can quickly wake up, they will be able to stop this evil regime from hurting their lives any longer.
