In April of 2006, my sister-in-law did not feel well and she felt pain in both her breasts. Several consultations later the diagnosis was confirmed that she had breast cancer and needed an operation. On May 23rd, she had an operation in a local hospital. One of her breasts was removed. She returned home after a month-long-hospitalisation.
On an August day, I received a call unexpectedly from my second sister. She said that my sister-in-law was once again hospitalised and was dying. "Wasn't it true that she returned home after the operation and she recovered?" I asked. "A tumour in her other breast is growing and she is undergoing chemotherapy. You better go to visit her, otherwise you might never be able to see her again. Her family is preparing for her funeral as we speak," she replied. She also said that a friend of hers who worked in a hospital told her that such an illness could not be cured, and if she continued to stay in the hospital, her life would be doomed and her family's savings exhausted. Everyone in her family knew the outcome, but nobody wanted to think about it.
On the evening of August 10th, I was trying to decide if I should go. While I had clarified the truth to them many times, and she was the one most in tune with Falun Dafa among all my sisters-in-law, she still couldn't accept it out of her fear of persecution. Besides, my brothers did not believe in Falun Dafa at all. I could not sleep well the whole night. The next morning, I quickly packed up, picked up a few pamphlets containing the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution, and boarded a long-distance bus to the county hospital.
Because of the chemotherapy, my sister-in-law was completely bald. She could not open her mouth, speak or eat. Grabbing her hands, I said, "If you whole-heartedly recite silently 'Falun Dafa is good and Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is good,' you will get better." She nodded. Again I told her, "Once you get out of the hospital, you ought to practise Falun Dafa!" Once again she nodded. I told all the family members to repeat silently the same words and asked my brother to remind his wife. He replied that his wife's throat was too swollen to read. "In fact, she can't eat," he said. In the past three weeks, she had only been able to drink a few cups of water. When he asked the doctors for help, they said they would not be able to help, either. I told him that now only Falun Dafa could save her. "Does this really work?" he questioned. "As long as you believe it" I answered. He was still suspicious. I then said, "Isn't that as simple as reading silently a few words? You don't spend a penny or burn any joss sticks. Without even using any of your energy, all you need to do is to wholeheartedly read silently. Why do you still hesitate? Just give it a try. It'll be very effective." Then he promised to remind her to silently repeat the words. I added, "You must also repeat them silently, for her! You must do it." After he promised to, I left the hospital and returned home.
My sister-in-law repeated silently "Falun Dafa is good and Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is good." Her sisters and my brother's family all helped recite them. One night she said that she dreamt of one person telling her loudly, "You're fine now. Why are you still lying in the hospital? Don't you realise how much it costs to sleep here?" She said to him, "But I cannot even eat?" "You're fine now. Go home," he said. Hearing this, she took a deep breath, which felt like a soothing breeze penetrating into her heart. She quickly rose up and shouted, "I'm fine now. I want to go home!" Her husband and two sisters were all startled.
Since then, she has gradually recovered, and in fact, she left the hospital within five days or so.
On September 23rd, when I returned to my hometown once again, my sister-in-law, who is illiterate, was watching the videotape of Teacher's lectures in Dalian City. In fact, she had already watched it twice, and that was her third time. "Only after listening to Teacher's lectures did I understand that what the government said and did were all contrary to the truth. There is nothing wrong with Falun Gong. In fact, Falun Gong teaches us to be good people," she said to me.
On the morning of October 10th, my sister-in-law went to another elderly practitioner's home. The practitioners were studying the Falun Gong teachings, the Fa and so she joined them.
Not only the family members of my brother and my sister-in-law, but also their neighbours and everyone in the village all witnessed the wonder of Falun Dafa and the good fortune that the practice has brought to those who practise and support it.
