(Clearwisdom.net) I live in a village in Jilin Province and have lived for sixty years in the atheistic Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) extreme, mind-controlled society. As I see it, our society is full of Party culture and the Party's philosophy of class struggle and harming others. I lacked compassion. Currently, our society is filled with moral corruption. I also took advantage of other people. I have engaged in bad habits such as drinking, frequenting prostitutes and gambling and did not believe in karmic retribution. Then several years ago I suffered a stroke. My health deteriorated immediately. Although I went to several hospitals for treatment, I still did not recover. I suffered so much.
At the moment I was in great pain and desperation, Falun Gong gave my sinful soul an opportunity to be saved. Early in the spring of 2008, a Falun Gong practitioner from my village came to visit. He told me the benefits of the practice. He also spoke the truth about the persecution. He introduced me to the book, Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and explained the benefits of quitting the CCP.
His words completely changed my notions and attitude toward Falun Gong. I quit the CCP using my real name. I was also very pleased to accept his gift of a DVD of the 2008 Chinese New Year Spectacular, which I watched over and over. The lyrics' profound content inspired me and touched my soul. I cried as I sensed the hints and inspirations from Buddha and the gods and understood the true meaning of a human life.
The refreshing stage setting, the bright and colorful backdrops, the fairy-like performers and their dances and the beautiful music all made me feel great. Likewise, I could feel the strong energy field encircling my body and warming my ill, cold body. I believed that the Buddha and gods were saving me. Miraculously, ever since, my health has improved day by day. I have become happier. Gradually I have gotten rid of my crutches and am even capable of doing household chores. My family is happy for me. They have watched the DVD with me many times. I have kept "Falun Dafa is good" in my heart.
This year, I am extremely grateful to have the DVD of the Shen Yun Performing Arts in 2009. I watch it almost every day and am moved to tears each time I watch it. I deeply appreciate Falun Gong and Shen Yun Performing Arts. My previous illness symptoms have disappeared. I have become very strong. This quick recovery has truly been a miracle.
I am deeply aware that it was Master's compassionate protection and inspiration from Shen Yun that saved me. Not only was my life saved, but also my soul. I now know how to walk well on my journey of life. Buddha's compassionate salvation, and promises of the manifestation of the future new universe have inspired me, particularly since I watched the 2009 Shen Yun DVD. My realm of thought has been greatly enlarged. My family and I have the determination to start practicing Falun Dafa and searching for the true meaning of life.
