In the autumn of 2004, Liaonan Island in Liaoning Province had a flood. The crops that were to be harvested were submerged under water about five foot deep deep. The water had an unbearably foul-smelling, fetid odour. This particular field produced grain for villagers' own use, and each person had a claim to one Chinese acre of the field's production. Everyone in the entire village went into the water to fish out what corn cobs they could, and many people were immersed all day long in the foul water.
Mrs. Sun found it very difficult to bend over as she had spinal problems and even found it difficult to walk. Mr. Sun had had tuberculosis since he was seventeen years old and also suffered from an anal fistula. Mr. Sun was a farmer, but when he had to go into the dirty water to save the crops, one leg became infected. The entire leg gradually became inflamed and then turned dark purple. It abscessed and swelled horribly. It was so unbearably painful that Mr. Sun could not take care of himself. His wife, who had an illness herself, had to take care of him.
Then Mr. Sun's infected leg started to decompose at his ankle, and the bone on his leg was exposed. They had to take 1,600 yuan (Chinese currency; 500 yuan is equal to the average monthly income of an urban worker in China) that they had obtained from selling their two pigs to go to the hospital. Doctors said that he would not live unless he was hospitalised and his leg amputated, but the operation would cost 100,000 yuan!
They didn't have the money, and Mr. Sun could not work any more if his leg was amputated. What would they live on? They could only go home and wait for death. At this desperate time, a Falun Gong practitioner in their neighbourhood came to tell him to practise Falun Dafa, to read the Falun Gong related materials, to recite "Falun Dafa is Good" and "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is Good" sincerely in his heart, and then things would improve.
Mr. Sun didn't believe it, but at that desperate time in his life, he thought, "Why don't I give it a try?" He took a copy of the brochure "Unexpectedly Find A Way out of A Desperate Situation." When he saw in the index, "had Tuberculosis at the age of 4...," he attentively began to read, and without realising it, he forgot about his leg pain. After reading the first pamphlet, he read other materials. The more he read, the more he wanted to read. The pains in his leg were greatly relieved, and Mr. Sun started to feel that now his life had hope. Afterwards, Mr. Sun asked his wife to get more materials for him to read. From these materials, Mr. Sun found the things that this is what he had been looking for and realised that only the practise of Falun Dafa could save him. After reading the materials, Mr. Sun's leg started to have circulation again and wasn't as painful anymore. His leg changed from black to red, and the festering areas started to contract. Two weeks later he could get out of bed and walk with a stick and take care of himself again.
Mr. Sun personally experienced a miracle of Falun Dafa. He started to study the Falun Gong teachings and apply them to his daily life. After he read the core Falun Gong teachings in the book, Zhuan Falun just once, his leg totally recovered, and his health was even better than ever. He could perform any kind of work and also was in a very happy mood.
Mr. Sun said with appreciation, "Falun Dafa is really wonderful! It is Master Li that helped me cure my leg. I used to strongly oppose Falun Dafa and defame it, because I was poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party and Jiang Zemin."
When Mrs. Sun saw her husband's leg recover so miraculously, she also started to study Falun Dafa. The elderly couple set out together on the path of cultivation.
