(Minghui.org) In the village where my parents lived, there was a diligent and hard-working lady. She and her husband were very happy together until disaster struck in 2007. All of a sudden, she found it difficult to breathe.

She went to the local hospital and was told she had a cold and a bad throat. But no matter what the doctors tried, she didn't get better. She then went to a city hospital, but her condition only worsened. Finally, she went to a hospital affiliated with the provincial medical university and was diagnosed with pneumonia and tuberculosis.

The doctors there treated her, but she didn't improve. Her lungs had hardened, leaving only a small section that still functioned, so she needed supplemental oxygen. Experts at the medical school couldn't figure out what was wrong.

She was dying. One doctor told her husband, “You come from a village and don't earn much. Just a few days here has cost you more than 40,000 yuan. Take her home and let her eat whatever she wants.”

Her husband did just that. Now, not even money could offer them any hope. Worn out and despondent, her husband prepared for her death.

The news quickly spread across the whole township. Everyone knew that even the big hospitals couldn't cure whatever she had. Falun Dafa practitioners in the village also heard about it. In fact, before the lady left town for the hospital, several practitioners had told her and her husband that believing in Falun Dafa could bring them hope. But the husband couldn't believe it. He said, “If just reading a few words could heal diseases, what's the use of hospitals? Forget it. We do not believe it.”

After the couple returned home from the hospital, several practitioners told the husband’s younger brother, “Get your brother to tell your sister-in-law to say, 'Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' Even if she doesn't recover, she won't get worse. Just give it a try.”

This time, the husband agreed because he was out of options. He told his wife, “Just say it.”

His wife started repeating the nine words.

The husband went to sleep while his wife, who was hooked up to oxygen and getting IV fluids, repeated, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

Family and friends had already finished preparing for her funeral. Some of them were crying.

When the husband woke up, he found his wife missing. He got up quickly and found her cleaning the floor in the outer room. He asked, “What are you doing up?” She said, “I'm fine. I can breathe as well as a normal person. I really am all right.”

Wide-eyed, he couldn't believe it. Was it possible? Was he dreaming? He pinched his wife and found it was not a dream. She really was all right. They shouted from the bottom of their hearts, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good! Master Li is good!” referring to Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa.

His wife went to the market to sell things as she did before she got ill. Two weeks later, someone asked her, “Is it possible you are cured? You should go to a big hospital for an exam.”

Taking the images from her previous hospital visits, the couple went back to the medical school, where they found the expert who had treated her. The expert took new images and compared them with the older ones. He examined them again and again and then asked her, “Are you the patient?”

When she said she was, the expert asked, “How did you recover? You don't look like the same person. When the patient checked out of the hospital, she was very skinny. I thought she might die before she got home. How did you regain your health so completely? You essentially have a new lung now. What's going on?”

The couple didn't dare tell the doctor the truth because Falun Dafa was being persecuted so severely by the communist regime. They didn't tell him that Falun Dafa had saved her life.

The woman now wears a Falun Dafa keepsake every day and repeats, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

The couple's life has now returned to normal. Apart from farming, they sometimes go out to work. The seed of “Falun Dafa is good” has been planted in her heart.
