Around 2:00 p.m. on December 30th, 2005, a fifteen-year-old girl passed away in a hospital corridor. Her mother's cries mingled with the moans of bystanders.
The young girl named Liu Jie lived in Fenghua Village, Huadian City, Jilin Province. She was born to a family of farmers on June 23rd, 1990. In May 2004 she became ill with a disease that caused her face to turn pale and her body to become swollen. Doctor Li Chunlin diagnosed her with lupus erythematosus. She was treated at the hospital for twenty-seven days and then she was brought home. However, seventeen days later, her condition worsened and she was taken back to the hospital on July 19th, 2004. This time she had also contracted an acute respiratory tract infection. It seemed like one disaster was happening after another.
Her family had to spend almost 60,000 yuan1 to have Liu Jie hospitalized a total of three times. In order to save some money, she went home when she felt a little better and went back for a check-up after two weeks.
Just when mother and daughter were most desperate, a friend brought them the book Zhuan Falun2. On August 23rd, 2004, the girl entered the path of cultivation in Falun Dafa. Liu Jie persisted in studying the Falun Dafa books and doing the exercises every day. After only ten days, her symptoms completely disappeared and her health returned to normal.
Having experienced Dafa's power first hand, Liu Jie had great faith in Falun Dafa. Her health became so good that she could go back to school. She cherished her blessings and studied very diligently. Her relatives, friends, teachers, classmates and neighbours all liked her.
For one year and three months, Liu Jie's health continued to be good. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. On November 22nd, 2005, several Dafa practitioners, including Zhao Jinling, from the nearby villages, Yongsheng Village and Laisheng Village, were detained and persecuted by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) thugs. Liu Jie's mother became very scared.
Fearing that her daughter would be implicated and persecuted as well, Liu Jie's mother took away the book that saved her daughter's life, hid it, and would not allow her to read the book and study Falun Gong any longer. This resulted in a reoccurrence of Liu Jie's symptoms, and on December 30th, 2005, the young girl passed away suddenly in a hospital corridor.
