(Minghui.org) I am nearly 70 years old this year. As a veteran practitioner of Falun Dafa who obtained the Fa in 1997, I have now cultivated for 28 years.
At 25, I contracted tuberculosis, which steadily worsened until I developed open hemoptysis in the later stages. By then, I was severely emaciated, weighing less than 100 pounds, and dared not venture out on windy days. I spent years hospitalized at the tuberculosis hospital. Initially, the hospital admitted me for treatment, but eventually, they refused further care. My doctor told me, “Your illness is incurable. Go home. Don’t come back.”
At the time, my symptoms were severe: I was coughing up blood, literally spewing it out, so much so that a bucket would be half-filled with it. The torrent was both shocking and terrifying. My parents’ savings were nearly depleted by my medical bills. My sister worked tirelessly to earn money for my treatment, but it still wasn’t enough. We borrowed heavily from relatives and friends. Those days were unimaginably hard.
In 1997, I made my final visit to the hospital. Shortly afterward, my aunt’s family played Master Li Hongzhi’s lecture videos series on Falun Dafa and invited me to watch. After completing the Nine Lectures, everything became clear to me. I immediately started learning the five exercises. In the beginning, I still coughed up blood, but the amount decreased significantly, and the symptoms changed from before. I knew Master was taking care of me, purifying my body, so I felt no fear whatsoever.
I was overjoyed to obtain such a wonderful practice as Falun Dafa. I eagerly shared its benefits with everyone I met and actively participated in every outreach event. One day, we were supposed to go out of town to promote Dafa. I was having physical symptoms as my body was being purified, but I still wanted to go. It took me quite a while to arrive. I joined fellow practitioners who demonstrated the Dafa exercises.
By the time I arrived home, I was brimming with energy. My entire mindset had shifted, and my complexion transformed from deathly pale to a healthy rosy glow. From that day on, I felt as light as a feather and regained my health. Even now, more than twenty years later, I haven’t taken a single pill.
During my visit to Beijing to validate the Fa, local authorities repeatedly harassed me because of my record. Members of the 610 Office would regularly drag me to brainwashing centers.
Once, they hauled me off to a brainwashing center in a neighboring city. Upon my arrival, a police officer informed me they wouldn’t accept three types of people: those with sexually transmitted diseases, those with tuberculosis, and those with infectious diseases.
I replied, “I once had tuberculosis and coughed up blood, but practicing Falun Dafa cured me. If you persecute me and I relapse, you’ll be responsible.” The officer retorted, “So you just claim to be sick? Take her to the Public Security Hospital for an X-ray.”
At the hospital, I stood in front of the machine. The doctor was stunned—the X-ray revealed only white areas where the lungs should be. There were no lungs to be found. Alarmed, the doctor exclaimed, “Go! Go! Get away from me!” Both the doctor and the police officers quickly put on masks. I overheard the doctor telling the police, “This person has no lungs. How strange! How does she breathe? How does she survive?” As a result, the police let me return home. From that day on, whenever they held brainwashing classes, they never bothered me again.
Following this medical examination, I learned that I no longer have lungs. Years of tuberculosis likely caused me to cough up blood until my lungs deteriorated completely. The fact that I’m still alive is truly a testament to Dafa. Moreover, I experience no difficulty breathing and am able to perform physical labor with normal strength.
My financial situation is modest—I receive a small pension—but I don’t place much value on money. I view my funds as resources for my practice. I contribute ten thousand yuan at a time to support the materials distribution center. To date, I’ve contributed over 100,000 yuan. My material needs are minimal; I live frugally both in food and clothing. I haven’t bought new clothes in years; everything I wear, inside and out, is generously provided by fellow practitioners. As long as it’s wearable, I never complain. I’m not particular about food either—I simply eat until I am satisfied.
I later made a special trip to the city where the brainwashing classes were held, so I could explain the facts to the police officer who had persecuted me. I called him in advance, and he even came to the station to pick me up. I explained how my health had recovered and how persecuting good people creates karma. I urged him to treat Dafa disciples kindly in the future and stop participating in the persecution. Although he didn’t renounce the Party, he understood that Dafa disciples risked danger to tell him the truth, and he agreed to be more cautious going forward.
For more than twenty years, I have devoted myself to saving people from the CCP’s deception by persistently distributing informational materials. Before each outing, I always send forth righteous thoughts and sincerely ask Master to protect me and dissolve any evil interference. During all these years, I have remained safe and undisturbed, and have walked steadily on the path of assisting Master in rectifying the Fa. As Fa rectification approaches its conclusion, I hold myself to even stricter standards, rising at two o’clock every morning to practice the exercises.
Many of our fellow practitioners are elderly, and I originally wanted to share my story online so more people could learn about it. However, I couldn’t find anyone to write the material and post it.
This year, my desire to write a sharing article grew even stronger, and Master kindly arranged for someone to help me. I feel deep gratitude to our omnipotent, great Master. It is my greatest honor to be his disciple during the Fa-rectification period of the human world. I hope that my story will inspire more people to enter Dafa, cherish this rare opportunity, and return to heaven together.
