Cancer Patient Recovers in Four Days After Starting to Practise Falun Gong

My name is Gao Dongqing. I found out that I had late-stage esophageal cancer on February 28th, 2005 (Chinese lunar calendar). The doctor told me that I would only live for a few months, even with surgery. After receiving this news, my wife asked me to practise Falun Dafa. In only four days after I started practising Falun Dafa, I had almost completely recovered. The founder of Falun Dafa, Teacher Li saved me from death and gave me a second life. I cannot use any language to express my gratitude to Teacher.

I had been deceived by the lies of the Chinese Communist Party. When my family told me the truth about the persecution, I neither listened to it nor believed it. Moreover, I did bad things in disparaging Falun Gong and Teacher. I believed what I heard from the television, and thought that the state-owned television stations and newspapers would never lie and deceive the public. But my own experiences finally awoke me!

I am from Zhangqiu City, Shandong Province, and I am 57 years old. Starting last December (Chinese lunar calendar), I felt uncomfortable when swallowing food. I thought I had pharyngitis. But after the Spring Festival, it developed further and grew even worse. When I swallowed something, I had to spit it out immediately. I became emaciated day by day. On April 6th, 2005, my wife went with me to the Puji Hospital for an examination. The examination showed that I had late-stage esophageal cancer. The doctor told my wife that this cancer is hard to cure and even if I had an operation, I would only live for a few months.

After we left the hospital, my wife said to me, "Our path as humans is nearing the end. Let us walk the path of a God. Let us go back home and start to practise Falun Gong."

My wife is a Falun Gong practitioner. From July 20th, 1999 onwards, the television programs unceasingly accused Falun Gong practitioners of killing people and of committing self-immolation. I believed the lies from the television and opposed Falun Dafa. I did not allow my wife to practise Falun Dafa and I also continuously caused her trouble.

In the autumn of 2003, my wife was arrested by the local police station. Although she was released in the evening, the whole family was really frightened. I directed my anger at my wife. I started to slander Falun Dafa and Teacher, and I also burned my wife's priceless Falun Dafa books. At that time, I did not understand or believe that what is taught in Falun Dafa is the Law of Heaven and I did not believe in the rule of karmic retribution. Not until I developed cancer did I start to think that maybe my illness was retribution for my disrespect towards Falun Dafa.

My wife persuaded me to study the Falun Gong teachings saying, "Only Teacher can save you. As long as you believe in Teacher and follow the standard of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, Teacher will help you and there will still be a chance for you." I thought that my situation was already so hopeless, but I decided to try it rather than wait to die. As long as Teacher considers me as his student, I will cultivate in Falun Dafa.

Upon my realisation and change of mind I started to take the initiative to learn the truth about the persecution. After I understood the truth, it strengthened my confidence in practising Falun Dafa.

My wife said, "Since you even burned the books and slandered Teacher, you have committed a very severe sin. If you want to practise Falun Gong, you must acknowledge your mistakes to Teacher." That evening, I knelt down in front of Master's picture and confessed deeply.

The next day, I spat even worse than before, and what I spat out was a lot of sticky froth. My wife told me that Teacher had started purifying my body. During the fourth night, I had a dream that someone hit my back heavily using a club. The pain woke me up and my chest felt very painful. I put on my clothes, sat up and started to recite, "Falun Dafa is good," and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good." After about ten minutes, the pain disappeared and my body felt relaxed.

The following day, March 2nd (lunar calendar), a miracle happened. I ate five eggs and did not feel any pain whilst swallowing. I had recovered! March 6th was market day. I brought my tools to the market so that I could repair peoples shoes. Because of my illness, I had not gone to the market to earn money for more than two months.

I, a cancer patient, who was told by a doctor that he was going to die, completely recovered in four days after practising Falun Gong. It really is a miracle! Falun Dafa and Teacher saved me from the verge of death and gave me a second life.
