Falun Dafa Saved My Father--Our Entire Village Now Understands the Truth

My family is a typical village family living in Liaoning Province of rural China. On May 4th, 2007, when my father had a medical exam, he was diagnosed with an advanced tumour in his oesophagus. The doctor said, "There is no operation available to cure this disease. The patient can only sustain his life by taking medicine and may die at any time." Of course our family was extremely upset.

On August 6th, 2007, my father's situation worsened. He was hospitalised for three days, but there was no sign of improvement. His oesophagus was blocked, so no food or fluid could pass through it. He lay in bed all day long. The doctor advised us to prepare for his funeral, so we placed an order for his coffin when we returned home.

My father was a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and had been the director and Party secretary of our village. A Falun Dafa practitioner spoke to him about Falun Dafa and the CCP a year ago so that he could learn the truth about the practice and the brutal nature of the Party. He agreed halfheartedly to withdraw from the CCP and also listened to the Falun Gong Lecture audio tapes. When the Party secretary of the village visited him and told him to hand in the tapes, he said, "I have listened to them and all they contain is teachings on how to be a good person." Then the Party Secretary left.

On August 19th, 2007, that practitioner came to my home again and spoke to my father some more. The practitioner told him that Falun Dafa is righteous, that it is being persecuted by the CCP, and why people should quit the Party. He also told my father that only the founder of Falun Gong, Teacher Li Hongzhi, and Falun Dafa could save his life. He told my father to repeat, "Falun Dafa is good. 'Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance' is good." He also played the Falun Gong lecture tape to him. Gradually, my father accepted his words. He listened to the Lecture tapes carefully, day and night, and did not allow anyone to disturb him.

On August 25th, a miracle happened. After not eating or drinking for several days, my father suddenly drank a bowl of soup and ate half a pancake. He told us, "I felt that my body completely recovered yesterday. I felt that Teacher was right next to me."

Now my father can eat normally, has a normal function of the digestive system, and can walk outside. Our entire village was shocked. They all know that Falun Dafa saved my father's life. My family did not believe in Falun Dafa before, but now we all practise it. Many people in our village also started reading the Falun Dafa books and practising the exercises.

Here, on behalf of my father and my whole family, I want to say to the whole world in all sincerity: "Falun Dafa is good! "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance" is good! Falun Dafa is righteous! We are sincerely grateful to Teacher Li Hongzhi and Falun Dafa."
