I am a 62-year-old female Falun Dafa practitioner from Shandong Province. I have no formal education. This article was compiled and edited by a fellow practitioner based on my narration.

In 1997, I became severely ill from years of overwork. I had a heart problem, liver cirrhosis, ascites, and cholecystitis. I still remember the horror of what that was like. Not only did the diseases deplete all of my family's savings, but they also tortured me terribly, both physically and spiritually. I visited all the big hospitals in Shandong Province and all the hospitals specializing in cardiovascular and liver diseases. A well-renowned doctor suggested I spend over one hundred thousand yuan for heart surgery, but the operation was risky and I could die on the operating table. I saw no hope at all and came home in dismay, waiting for my day to come. My family did not want to give up. They begged for some "spirit possessions" to help me, which gave me another near death experience.

At the end of 1997, my husband, who left our village to work in the city, heard that practicing Falun Gong could heal illness. He helped me find a local Falun Gong practice site and I started practicing. I only wanted to heal my illness and didn't yet know the importance of cultivation.

Because I was illiterate, I could only sit and listen to others read. On the fourth day when I listened to the Fa, I started to eliminate karma. I vomited and had diarrhea, but I was not in any pain. Instead, I felt my whole body was getting lighter and more comfortable. This situation continued for a some time, and my illnesses all disappeared, unnoticed. I no longer had pain any more. My family was amazed. Many friends and relatives started cultivating Falun Gong as a result. Since then, I have never taken any medicine.

A few days after I started practicing Falun Gong, several practitioners went to my home to study the Fa and do the exercises. I could see with my Celestial Eye three months later. I often saw several gigantic gods listening to the Fa when we studied. After six months, I could read Zhuan Falun by myself. Now I can read all of Teacher's Fa lectures and practitioners' sharings. I read slowly, but I can understand all of them! I had never dreamed that I could do this before. It's such a miracle for an illiterate to be able to read!

In 2002, a practitioner in our village was persecuted. I heard that police would ransack practitioners' homes. I was afraid and wanted to hide all my Dafa books and materials. I wrapped the books and materials together to put on top of the window frame, so that the curtain would cover it. Because I was so afraid I missed my step and fell down off the bed, one foot on the bed and the other on the floor. The foot on the floor had turned completely over, my toes facing backward, and my knee was twisted. It was my birthday that day and all my children were at home. They were worried and wanted to take me to the hospital. Bearing the pain, I stood up and said, "I'm OK, I'm OK. I am cultivating Dafa. This is a good thing. I will go to the bathroom in a short while." Then I sat down on the bed and murmured, "How come my foot turned backward? It needs to turn back." As painful as it was, I used my hands to turn my leg. In just one try, my foot turned back around and everything was OK. Everyone in my home was astonished. They all witnessed the supernormal capability of Dafa. "A good or bad outcome comes from one thought." ("Improving Character," Chapter Four, Zhuan Falun, 2003 translation). As long as we listen to Teacher, there is no tribulation we can't pass.

In the fall of 2002, I rode a bicycle to the market about 7~8 li (2.2~2.5 miles) away from my home. A motorcycle coming from the opposite direction knocked me down. My leg turned black and my knee was smashed. I said to myself immediately, "I am OK. I am a Dafa disciple. Teacher is protecting me." I let the motorcycle rider leave and then went to the market. When I returned home, I shelled a pile of pea pods in my courtyard, then took them inside. That night I sat in meditation for 90 minutes. I perspired a lot due to the pain and my legs swelled. After four or five months, one day when I entered tranquility during meditation, I saw Teacher putting needles into my leg. The first time Teacher opened a purple box. My knee was full of needles. The second time Teacher used a silver box. In less than a month, my leg became normal. During that time, I kept studying the Fa, sending forth righteous thoughts, clarifying the truth and taking care of housework. I had a firm thought, "Believe in Teacher. There is nothing that Teacher can't do."

I often see things in other dimensions. Sometimes when I walk down the street, I see different colored flowers, very beautiful. In July 2001, I lost contact with other practitioners for a long time. Seeing so many people were deceived by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) lies, I was really worried for them. I decided to write letters to clarify the truth. I wrapped cotton balls on chopsticks, put them into the ink, then followed the letters in Zhuan Falun. I wrote: "Falun Dafa Is Good" and "'Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance' Are Good." I made many copies and pasted them on the electric poles at night. The next day I saw a golden shiny sun on every electric pole that had a poster. I said to myself, "Teacher is encouraging me!" I then often wrote these signs and posted them in public.

Once when I was sending forth righteous thoughts, my husband came home from work. He started to curse me. I knew he was controlled by the evil elements in other dimension. I remained calm and kept sending forth righteous thoughts. Then I saw I was going up three floors. At the first floor, there was a big figure in black who stood on the stairs blocking my way. I could see only his legs, but not his face. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate him but he was still there. I asked Teacher to strengthen me. Then I waved my hand and smashed him down. Then I walked up the stairs. It's really "Cultivation is up to you, gong is up to the master." ("The Cosmic Orbit," Chapter Eight, Zhuan Falun, 2003 translation).

In March 2008, two police cars were parked at the bus station in our village, and a half dozen officers were lying in wait, trying to arrest Dafa practitioners in order "to keep the society stable" for the Olympic Games at Beijing. I sent forth righteous thoughts. With my Celestial Eye I saw a black dog behind every policeman, so I eliminated those black dogs. The next day, all the police and their cars were gone.

I stayed at home to take care of my grandchildren and cook. I helped my grandson to clarify the truth and persuade people to quit the CCP in our village and neighboring villages. I share my story here to remind all fellow practitioners: Dafa disciples should have strong righteous thoughts to firmly believe in Teacher and Dafa. Let's use the limited time remaining to save sentient beings and complete our prehistoric vows. Please point it out if I have any omission.
