Confronting Serious Illness, My Life Revived After Practicing Falun Gong

I am a 56 year-old farmer residing in Xinghe Village of Xinli District, Yushu City in Jilin Province, China. Before 2006 I was physically fit, but beginning in 2006, I suddenly found myself so seriously ill that I was unable to eat or drink. I would vomit whenever I had something in my stomach, so I kept losing weight. I traveled to Changchun City to seek treatment, and specialists there diagnosed me with rectal cancer. I was admitted to the provincial cancer hospital, where life-saving surgery was decided upon. But on the surgery table the cancer was discovered to have grown on to the artery, so the surgery was discontinued since it would have been too risky. The hospital was not able to do anything to save my life, so I moved to my eldest daughter’s house in Changchun City to bide my time. Meanwhile, I was getting thinner as each day passed. Finally, I decided to return home to Yushu City to await my death.

Lying in bed not being able to move or sleep due to pain, the cancerous swelling could be seen and touched from outside. Thinking that I wouldn’t last more than three days, my family members were preparing a dress for my body. As I was awaiting my final moments, my daughter, who was looking after me, picked up a bundle of materials about Falun Gong from some practitioners, which included the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and some other flyers. Since I am an illiterate person, I wanted my daughter to read the booklet of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party to me. After I finished listening, I felt much better and soon fell asleep. I had dreams that someone was telling me that the cancerous area was subsiding, and when I woke up, I touched the area, only to find that it had already shrank and softened. In a few days I began feeling much better.

During this time, one of my relatives, a Falun Dafa practitioner, came to visit me. She told me that if I had no obstacles to having faith, I should sincerely recite, “Falun Dafa is good,” and that a miracle would certainly happen. I believed that what she said was for my own sake, and also I had no other choice, so I began to recite “Falun Dafa is good” whenever I had time and whenever I could not fall asleep. It really worked. I started feeling that I had more energy, and that my bowel movements and urination were returning to normal. I resumed eating three meals a day, and I was able to sit up. A few days later, I even got out of bed. My family was surprised and happy to see the change. To them I had revived from a certain death. After walking out again to the yard, my neighbors could not believe what they saw. Furthermore, when my daughter called my son, who is in another city, and told him about me, he thought she was making up the story and couldn’t believe it.

What happened to me is irrefutable fact, and I have truly witnessed Falun Dafa’s supernatural power and magic, it was this practice that gave me a second life. All my relatives and good friends now believe in Falun Dafa and are very thankful.

Today I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, and I have begun listening to lectures and doing exercises. I was previously a strict atheist, but now I am a true believer in Falun Dafa. I want to tell everyone in my hometown and all good people in China, “Teacher Li is here to save people. Falun Dafa teaches people to be benevolent. Falun Dafa is righteous.”
