(Minghui.org) A 50-year-old practitioner from Liaoning Province, who began practicing Falun Dafa before July 20, 1999 when the persecution started, has cultivated diligently in doing the three things well. She has gone to Beijing many times to let people know the facts about Falun Dafa. She was sent to forced labor camps and detention centers a few times, where she was persecuted, but managed to get out by maintaining righteous thoughts. The following is her story of what happened to her seven years ago.
I was taken into custody by the police from the city's National Security Brigade, but I refused to do as they ordered. Instead I shouted “Falun Dafa is great,” and I clarified the truth to them. I was taken to a hospital for a “checkup.” When the police walked out of the room and the doctor wasn't paying attention, I jumped from the second floor window to escape further persecution. Unfortunately, I fell hard and passed out.
When I regained consciousness I was in an emergency room surrounded by doctors. When I tried to move, I couldn't. My first thought was, "I'm a Dafa disciple. With the Fa and Master, I'm not afraid of anything." I began silently reciting Lunyu and Hong Yin. After several x-rays, other examinations and consultations, the doctors said that I had a comminuted fracture of my lumbar spine and tailbone, and that they were dislocated. They said that I had to be hospitalized and undergo an extensive operation to reconnect the bones and restore their locations. The initial cost would be twenty thousand yuan. They had to immediately contact my family members to make the decision.
My mother, husband, and sister came. The doctor told them that I had to be operated on immediately, otherwise I might die. But the fellow practitioner who also came asked that I immediately be taken home. She said I had Master taking care of me, so I didn't need to be hospitalized or operated on. The doctor told my family that even if they began the operation right away, complete restoration was impossible, and they could only save my life. If the operation was successful, I would spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair!
My mother knelt next to the bed crying, and begged me to listen to the doctor. She said, “As long as your life is saved, I will take care of you!” My husband and daughter tried to convince me to have the surgery. The head of the Public Security Bureau also came. He said that I should have the operation and remain in the hospital, and the Public Security Bureau and hospital would share the cost of the sugery.
The fellow practitioner insisted that I not be hospitalized or have the operation. She said, “You have Master taking care of you. There's nothing wrong with you, and you'll be fine very soon.” I then said, “What wheelchair? You can't control me and I must go home immediately!” I wanted to get up and walk by myself but I couldn't move. I had to let the doctor check me, but I refused any injections or medications.
This stalemate went on until the next morning. The hospital was afraid of being held responsible, so they allowed my family to carry me home on a stretcher. It was still a little dark outside when we got home. Two police officers tried to follow us but I did not allow them to enter our home.
When we arrived home, I asked my husband to close the door near the hallway and not allow anyone to come in. I asked my sister and daughter to help me sit up on the bed so I could do the meditation. I'm the only practitioner in my family, so they did not understand, and were quite scared. My mother and sister said, “What are you doing? No injection, no medicine, no hospitalization, and no operation, but you are still going to sit up to do the meditation?” I said, “Please don't cry or shout. I have Master taking care of me. Only through the exercises can my health be restored. Master will reconnect my spine for me. Only Master can cure me! Please do as I ask. Sister and daughter, please sit on each side of me, but don't move me.”
Everyone in the family was watching her. She sat there silently shouting, “Save me Master! Her face was changing rapidly. Tears and sweat poured out. As she was shaking, she clenched her teeth tightly and would not cry out no matter how much pain she experienced. She persisted for an hour. All of her clothes were soaked. Her sister and daughter's clothing was also soaked by her tears and sweat. Her mother kept crying. After an hour, they changed her clothes and helped her to lie down. She was calm and smiled at them. She told her mother to relax because Master was taking care of her.
I said, “Look, I sat for an hour and there is nothing wrong with me. The spine is fractured, but that's not me. There's nothing wrong with me!” I kept studying the Fa, and sending forth righteous thoughts. I meditated for another hour with the help of my sister and daughter that afternoon. Sitting next to me, they heard the "clicking" sound of my bones being readjusted inside my body. In the end, I sat straight up without their support.
On the second day, I only needed someone to get things for me. On the third day I got up without their help and meditated. On the seventh day I was able to stand up and do the standing exercises. I did all five sets of exercises together, and did them twice a day. The rest of the time I studied the Fa and sent forth righteous thoughts. After nineteen days I was completely back to normal, and wasn't even bruised!
My entire family was thrilled. They repeatedly thanked Master. After my mother and daughter looked at my body and saw no sign of injury, my mother suddenly knelt in front of Master's photo and expressed her thanks. She said, "I sincerely thank Master for saving my daughter. From now on I will also study Dafa!" My sister, daughter, and husband all started studying Dafa and began cultivating. My entire family quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations.
After she came home from the hospital, the police stopped harassing her family. When the hospital staff and the entire surgical department heard she was fine, they were shocked. The principal doctors said, "Falun Dafa is amazing! It's incredible! It can do what medical science cannot. So magical! It should be greatly promoted."
