(Clearwisdom.net) I started to practice Falun Gong in 1997 because I had many diseases. All my family members were practitioners, and I was the last one to begin my practice. After practicing Falun Gong, all my diseases were cured. Because my son was arrested for clarifying the truth about Falun Gong, I had to work to support my family. I went out of town for a job as a construction worker.
In the fall of 2007, when I had just arrived on the fifth floor of a new building, an unsecured concrete beam suddenly fell on me. The beam was designed to hold the hydrant hose and it weighed over 1000 pounds. One of my co-workers saw what happened. He immediately called for others help. About seven or eight people worked together to raise the beam and freed me.
The owner of the construction business knew that I was a Falun Gong practitioner. He treated me very well. He drove me to the emergency room of a big hospital in his own car. X-rays showed that five of my ribs had been fractured. It was so painful that I kept sweating and had a fever. I stayed in the hospital overnight. The next day, I asked to check out of the hospital. Neither the owner nor the doctor thought I should. I told them, "I am fine. After I go back home and rest for several days, I will recover. I don't need medical treatment." The business owner worried about me. He said, "Don't worry about the money. I will pay for it. You check out after you are completely healed." I answered, "Don't worry. I am fine. I don't want to stay in the hospital. I must go home." We argued a while. He saw that I was determined to go home and said, "I really cannot change your mind. It's OK for you to go home, but you have to sign a statement saying that you will be responsible for whatever happens after you leave the hospital." I said, "Fine!" He took out paper and pen, wrote down our agreement, and had me sign it. Then he said, "Let's go. I will take you home." In 2007, I was more than 60 years old.
The next day, I wanted to stand up to practice the exercises, but I could not raise my hands due to the extreme pain. I asked my son to find a rope to hold up my hands up to practice the second exercise. While doing the exercise, I felt water flowing in my body and my broken ribs made "Ge-Ge" sounds. I sweat all over and finished the exercise in pain. After about five days, I could do all the exercises again. I recovered in about a month.
Because it was November and all the construction work had stopped for the winter, I rested at home for the entire season. I studied the Fa, practiced the exercises, and clarified the truth to save people. When my friends and relatives heard about my experience, they were all amazed. In March of the next year, I rode my motorcycle back to the construction site to go to work. All my coworkers were surprised. They asked me, "Old Li, you are really good! Did you really recover without any medical treatment? Falun Gong is really amazing." I said, "I have fully recovered. I stayed at home for the entire winter to practice the Falun Gong exercises. I am fine now."
The business owner was really glad when I arrived. He checked me out thoroughly, patted me, and said, "You are really a miracle! I need to make it up to you. Let me give you five thousand yuan to buy some nutritious food!" I said, "I am a Falun Gong practitioner. I could not accept your money." He pushed the money into my pocket, saying, "Old Li, you must accept the money. Otherwise, you would be insulting me." I had no choice but to accept it.
The incident suddenly made me famous. Workers at all the construction sites where I had worked before learned about what had happened. I was invited to work at several sites. Now I can make more than five thousand yuan a month. Even young construction workers make less than I do.
I would like to send my deepest appreciation to Master Li Hongzhi. I greatly thank Master for giving me such an honor. Master, please be assured that I will do well the three things that Dafa disciples need to do!
