Medical School Graduate Diagnosed With Advanced Stage Brain Tumour Recovers after Practising Falun Gong

I used to have an advanced stage brain tumour.

I was born in a small village and in order to leave the village, I studied very hard. As my health was very poor, I applied for a medical college. Luckily I fulfilled my dream of becoming a college student. During the school years, I often felt dizzy, but I took it as anaemia and thought it was due to lack of nutrition. I didn't take it seriously.

I started my medical practise right before my graduation. My dizziness got worse, and so did my eyesight. Just like other young people my age, I had to struggle to make a living shortly after my graduation from college. As the workload became heavier, my health suffered. I felt dizzier, became thinner, and began to walk awkwardly. My poor health condition finally alarmed me, so I decided to get a thorough checkup. I was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Everybody in my family was worried. They took me to visit doctors in various places. It was the same diagnosis in every hospital: open-skull surgery had to be performed to remove the goose-egg sized tumour. There would be a tremendous amount of medical expenses. I also knew that the consequences of the operation might be horrific. If anything went wrong, if even a single nerve was mishandled, I might be blinded, disabled, or worse.

I began to hesitate. Unwilling to take the risk of surgery, I decided to try to make the most of my remaining days. Nevertheless, my headache was torturing me. I knew what it meant. In despair, I couldn't eat or sleep, and my spirits were very low. I felt that I was critically ill, and I completely lost hope.

One day, a relative of mine came to visit me. He used to suffer from stomach cancer, but he recovered from the illness after practising Falun Gong. He explained to me how good Falun Gong was.

It was hard for me to believe in the effects of qigong (exercises for cultivating "qi" or "vital energy") and the principles behind it, but out of desperation, I took the book containing the Falun Gong teachings, Zhuan Falun and started to read. To my surprise, I had hardly finished reading lecture one when I started to feel hungry. I asked my nephew to buy a bowl of noodles for me. With no appetite for quite some time, I was surprisingly able to eat the whole bowl of noodles. I quickly finished reading the whole book.

On the second day, I joined a nearby practise group to learn the Falun Dafa exercises. Concerned about my health condition, my mother-in-law accompanied me to practise the exercises. With more practise of the exercises and more study, gradually my mood was better and I regained my appetite. Two months later, my symptoms of dizziness and my headache became much less severe. I no longer caught colds once every few days as before. I felt like a different person. My pale face became rosy again. Everybody was stunned by how quickly I had recovered from my illness.

After practising for a time, I started to live a normal life, even better than before. In addition, my character experienced great changes. Before my practise of Falun Gong, I used to love to compete and argue with others, even when I knew that I was wrong. I often had conflicts with others over trivial matters. In contrast, I have changed completely after practising Falun Gong and following its teachings. One day, my brother-in-law was drunk. He walked upstairs, kicked my door, and claimed that he wanted to kill me. He yelled, "Country bumpkin, why do you treat me so badly?" Half awake, I thought he was swearing at his own son, so I decided to go out to stop him. Trying to punch me through the glass in the door, he broke the glass and it deeply cut the back of my hands. Despite the pain, I forbore, without fighting back, because Master Li taught us that as practitioners, we shouldn't hit back when attacked or talk back when insulted. Facing such an insult, I would have fought back tooth and nail if I hadn't practised Falun Gong. As a practitioner, I didn't even swear back at him.

Falun Dafa has made me a better person, and I'd like to do even better. Having truly benefited from Dafa, I sincerely hope that everyone reads Zhuan Falun so as to be able to obtain the same benefits as I have.
