My Uncle Walks Again After a Stroke Brings Him a Brush With Death

Feb. 3, 2015 |   By a practitioner in Heilongjiang Province, China

(Minghui.org) My oldest uncle called one morning to tell me that one of my other uncles had a stroke and was in the hospital. The doctors said he was in critical condition and wanted the family members to get there as soon as possible.

My husband and my mother, who are also Falun Dafa practitioners, went with me to the hospital. Many other relatives were there when we arrived. My uncle seemed unconscious, and the atmosphere in the room was depressing.

But my uncle called out my name when I approached his bedside. To help him recover, I asked him to recite, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and he nodded in agreement.

The doctors and my relatives did not think he would recover. They submitted his medical records to the city hospital, and the medical experts who reviewed his case said there was little hope for survival. My aunt held my hand and could not stop crying.

I told her that his condition could improve if everyone in the family recited, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

Unconditional Support

My mother, my husband, and I went to the hospital to take care of my uncle no matter how busy we were. We fed him, washed the towels, and cleaned his bedpan. (Note: While these services are typically performed automatically in hospitals in the West, this is not the case in all hospitals in China.) Gradually, my uncle was able to eat solid food, but some relatives said that he was experiencing “terminal lucidity” before his death.

They even hired an “expert on death and dying” to estimate his last day. Meanwhile, my uncle's family made funeral arrangements.

One day, some relatives noticed that the wrinkles on my uncle's forehead were spreading apart. (According to ancient Chinese folklore, this sign signifies that a person is about to die.) The doctor said that my uncle was still in critical condition, and everyone watched him attentively. My mother, my husband, and I asked Master Li Hongzhi for help in our minds, and we encouraged my uncle to have faith in Master and Falun Dafa.

After that evening, my uncle overcame several critical stages and soon appeared to be getting better and better. His family started to relax. He gained some weight and could walk like a normal person. After being discharged, he could even take care of some housework. People around him saw the miraculous effects of Falun Dafa!

Aunt Recovers From Liver Disease

My oldest aunt lost a lot of weight due to cirrhosis a year ago, and she spent more than 80,000 yuan on hospital bills. She was taken to the hospital when she vomited a large amount of blood. Although she survived, the doctor said it could happen again.

So they injected her with medicine to stop the bleeding, but to no avail. Blood then came out of her nostrils. So they stuffed gauze into her nostrils to stop the bleeding. She looked very pale, so I reminded her, “Don't forget to sincerely recite, 'Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.'”

She nodded and recited the phrases, and she soon recovered from the illness.

After seeing the miraculous recovery of my aunt, my oldest uncle and his wife truly came to believe in Falun Dafa. He now shares information about Falun Dafa with his colleagues, and gives calendars with truth-clarification messages about Falun Dafa to his relatives.
