(Minghui.org) Almost everyone in my village as well as nearby villages know of my positive changes after practicing Falun Gong. They said, “The Communist Party told us that Falun Gong is not good and persecuted it. But what we saw is the great spirit she has after she started practicing Falun Gong!” “That’s right. She looks even younger than how I looked when I was at her age.” “The Communist Party takes advantage of citizens and persecutes good people.”

I am 69 years old now. Before I practiced Falun Gong, I had many kinds of diseases. I had edema throughout my whole body. Every time I touched my body, my bones felt extreme pain. My abdomen was big and bulging. I couldn’t walk with my heavy legs. I had difficulty using the restroom. I was not able to take care of myself. I couldn’t sleep during the night, nor could I do anything during the day. I didn’t have any strength and I could not even hold a bowl. I was somewhat famous for my illness in our village. My family was not rich and it cost them a lot to continuously treat my diseases. I didn’t get any better and my family was in debt. It was the toughest time for me to suffer day after day.

However, things changed right at the time when I was about to give up. My daughter brought back some Falun Dafa videotapes taught by Master Li. From then on, I knew that I had found what I was looking for my whole life. I was very excited. From then on, I deeply believed in Dafa and Master without hesitation. Influenced by my mother and grandmother, I had believed in gods' existence in the world since I was little. I also believed that being good meets with rewards and being evil will always be met with retribution.

After I started learning Dafa, my body changed even before I finished listening to the Fa taught by Master. I had some strength and I was able to fall asleep at night. Then I started learning the five exercises. One practitioner taught me when he was free. My condition was getting better and better day by day, or, to be more precise, moment by moment. After 7 to 8 days, I was able to cook for the whole family. My son was very surprised and happy to see my positive changes. Two weeks later, I was able to do all the house chores.

In less than one month, all of my health problems disappeared. The edema was gone and my abdomen became smaller. I could eat meals normally and I felt easy walking. I didn’t feel tired while working. I could also walk to the place which is 5km (about 3.1 miles) away from my home to watch Master's Fa lectures on video.

I have a big family. Therefore, after all my illnesses were healed, almost everyone in the village knew that Dafa saved my life. Even the people in nearby villages knew that as well. I can’t express my enormous gratitude toward Master in words. One time, I was going to the store to purchase some vinegar. I met a neighbor on the way. He said, “It’s you! I thought you were a young girl when I first saw you from afar. It seems your Master has rejuvenated you.”  I knew that he was surprised at my positive change. I smiled and told him, “What has been rejuvenated is what is on the inside.” He said, “Ah, I understand.”
