(Minghui.org) Continued from Part 1
Ms. Wang Weizhen is a military cardiologist with a colonel ranking. She was a doctor in charge and instructor at the Dalian Military Medical College.
In the 1990s, the then-40-year-old Wang Weizhen developed a series of health problems, including rheumatic heart disease, hepatitis B, cirrhosis, lumbar disc herniation, severe anemia, sinusitis, and bone problems with her feet. These conditions required frequent hospital visits. She spent 50% of her time in the hospital during some years.
Just when Ms. Wang was losing hope in 1996, a friend of hers introduced her to Falun Gong. She was touched by the guiding principles, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and started practicing.
Miraculous events occurred after she began practicing Falun Gong. All of her ailments disappeared quickly, none of which could be explained by modern medicine.
For example, Ms. Wang often had a high fever that lasted for several days. Each time this occurred she had to have an intravenous injection. Soon after she started practicing, she again had a fever. But this time it was a low-grade fever and only lasted for 24 hours. She has had no fevers since.
A few months into practicing, one day Ms. Wang realized that the lumbar disc herniation and cirrhosis had disappeared. She no longer had back pain and was able to carry heavy loads without issue.
The bones in her right foot had been dislocated due to an accident, which caused pain when she walked, and she was unable to jump or run. After practicing Falun Gong for a few months, one day she stepped on a rock, and heard a “click.” She thought her foot had been injured, but not only was the foot not hurt, the bones were corrected. She has had no pain since, whether walking, running, or even jumping.
Perhaps her most amazing experience was how her heart disease was healed.
She had a dream in which she was at an airport surrounded by mountains. Suddenly, a hill exploded, and then another, and another. All the mountain peaks exploded. Her body shook dramatically and even jumped up and down in bed.
She woke up and realized that the “explosions” occurred in her heart. She felt like all the pathogenic spots in her heart were “blown up.” The rheumatic heart disease has not bothered her since.
Practicing Falun Gong has completely renewed Ms. Wang's life. She has not needed medicine or required any hospital care for the past 20 years. She went from being weak and sick to a healthy and full of energy. When she was 20, she had to take a few breaks to finish walking up a hill on her way home. She is now in her 70s and said that the hill sometimes feels not as steep as before.
Falun Gong not only healed Ms. Wang's health problems but also gave her a new outlook on life.
As a doctor, she often received gifts and cash from patients. After she started practicing Falun Gong, she stopped accepting such gifts. She often asked her husband, the chair of a local workers union, not to accept any bribes.
Ms. Wang also does not strive for benefits or promotions at her workplace. Instead, she always gives the opportunities to others. Her workplace once sold a few apartments to employees at very low prices. Ms. Wang got one at a nice location and had received the key, but a co-worker said he badly needed it. Ms. Wang then let him have it.
Mr. Yang Wanming, a lieutenant colonel, was chief of a military communications department. He had severe digestive system diseases and often had stomach bleeding and diarrhea. Attacks of inflammation in the gastric-intestinal tract also bothered him, and he sometimes passed out from the pain.
Mr. Yang had to be very careful about the food he ate. He was not able to eat raw fruit or anything cold. He sometimes only had the yolk of an egg for the entire day, for several consecutive days.
Mr. Yang had also suffered from long-term rectal prolapse, which he developed when he was a child.
He visited his mother in 1997, who was practicing Falun Gong. Seeing that her son could only have one egg yolk a day, she suggested that he give Falun Gong a try.
Mr. Yang began practicing Falun Gong, and in only one month, the rectal prolapse was gone. His stomach problems also improved, and he looked healthy. None of these ailments ever returned.
With his life renewed, Mr. Yang became a model worker and model manager. He has won dozens of awards at work and is well respected by his co-workers.
Falun Gong was first publicly introduced in 1992. Nearly 100 million people across China were soon practicing Falun Gong after experiencing improvements in their health and character. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline's growing popularity as a threat to the CCP's atheistic ideology and issued an order to ban the practice on July 20, 1999.
The Minghui website has confirmed the deaths of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners during the past 18 years of persecution. The actual number of deaths is suspected to be much higher than the number confirmed, however. More have been imprisoned and tortured for their faith. Evidence shows that the CCP harvests organs from detained practitioners, who are killed in the process, to supply the organ transplantation industry.
Under Jiang's personal direction, the CCP established the 610 Office, an extralegal security organization with the power to override the police and judicial systems, and whose sole function is to carry out the persecution of Falun Gong. Countless practitioners and their families have suffered as a result.
