"This Book Saved My Life"

Aug. 22, 2006 |   By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) A driver who works for the Bureau of Public Safety walked by Mr. Hu’s front door and saw him reading a book. He asked Mr. Hu about the book, to which Mr. Hu calmly replied, "It is Zhuan Falun. It saved my life!"

62-year-old Mr. Hu was born in Huangzhou, Hubei Province. In 2002, Mr. Hu suffered a stroke, which caused the left side of his body to become numb. At about he same time, Mr. Hu’s cousin also had a stroke. During the Chinese New Year celebration, a relative who works at the Shayang Forced Labor Camp of Hubei Province went back home and saw both Mr. Hu and the cousin suffering in pain. He asked them why they did not practice Falun Gong. Both Mr. Hu and his cousin knew that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) prohibited people from practicing Falun Gong and that Falun Gong practitioners were cruelly persecuted. Still, Mr. Hu firmly remembered his relative’s words.

Later, through a good friend, Mr. Hu was able to find an elderly practitioner who helped him obtain Zhuan Falun, tapes of Teacher’s nine-day lecture series, and the Falun Dafa exercise music. However, she was not able to teach him the five sets of exercises because she had to leave to help take care of her daughter’s child. As a result, Mr. Hu did not get the chance to learn the Falun Dafa exercises.

Mr. Hu first listened to Teacher’s teaching and felt very good. That same day, his appetite improved and he was able to eat two bowls of food. From then on, Mr. Hu either listened to Teacher’s lectures or read Zhuan Falun on a regular basis. He was able to read through the entire book once every week. Currently, he has read Zhuan Falun at least a hundred times. Today, not only is Mr. Hu in good health, but he can also work in the fields. He can even do heavy labor that would normally require a strong farmer to do, like operating a hand-pulled plow.

People who knew Mr. Hu well noticed the drastic change in his health and asked him what medicine he took to heal his illness. Mr. Hu always replied honestly: "Since I read Zhuan Falun, I have not needed to take any medicine. Dafa saved my life."

Over the years, although Mr. Hu has only studied the Fa and has not done the exercises, he always uses a Dafa practitioner’s standard to guide his actions. He has quit drinking alcohol and smoking, and is a calmer, more compassionate person. He does not get angry as frequently as he used to. His health is better than before he had the stroke, and his eyesight is also improving. He no longer needs to wear his reading glasses in order to read the fine prints in the newspaper. He worries for Teacher’s relatives, wondering if they are still in China, and if they are suffering persecution by the CCP.

Many people have witnessed the miracle of Falun Dafa through Mr. Hu’s positive experience. Some people have truly realized how wonderful Falun Dafa is and also want to practice. There are also people looking for the book, Zhuan Falun. The CCP’s lies have automatically vanished.

Now, Mr. Hu has finally found other local practitioners from his area to teach him the five sets of Falun Gong exercises.
