(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Dafa practitioner from Yunnan province. It was in 1997 that I started to cultivate Falun Dafa and the experience of my obtaining the Fa was very unique. Although my life was not an easy one to save, it was Master who saved it and it was Dafa that gave me a new life.

My Life Before Cultivation

In 1997, my neck suddenly grew a finger-tip size malignant tumor. After taking an immediate examination, a malignant tumor was found in my right thyroid gland. My husband learned the news and was very upset. He cried all day long because our child was very young and I was only 27 years old at the time. I stayed in the hospital for a long time and then I learned that I had been receiving chemotherapy since I arrived at the hospital. My father and my father-in-law worked in the same company as my husband and me, and they both died of lung cancer. The thought of having cancer scared me out of my wits. My family was poor and I did not want my husband to suffer financially because of me. Several times I tried to commit suicide and each time I was saved by my kind husband. We hugged each other and cried very hard. He said that our child was too young and his mother was old, so our family could not live without me. For the sake of my child and husband, I led a difficult life every day by suffering through the painful chemotherapy.

Later on my sickness became even worse. In order to get better pay and to support our family, my husband had to look for a new job out of town. During the chemotherapy, my child was sent to a privately run preschool. At that time I was throwing up all day and was kept alive by taking I.V. injections. When my child came home in the afternoon he had to find some instant noodles to eat. Because of the chemotherapy there was nothing that I could eat and keep down. Later on I could not walk and needed my child to help me to walk. My hair fell out and I weighed only a little over 53 pounds.

Because my husband needed to take time off away from work to check on me, he was not able to make much of a salary. Finally he could not pay for our child's tuition. Later the teacher heard about our family's situation, and without saying anything negative, he came to the hospital to visit me. He mentioned that Falun Gong was very wonderful and said that I should give it a try. At that time I was in a terrible mood, so I did not accept what he said and I also said some negative words.

The Experience of Learning Falun Gong

I felt my life was worse than being dead. During that painful time, I started to cultivate Falun Dafa, which I think was not easy at all. I came to appreciate my child's teacher helping me obtain the Fa. Three times he introduced Dafa to me and it was not until the third time that I accepted it. When the teacher came to visit me a second time, he said a lot to me, but I could not accept it and said some negative words again. When he came to visit me the third time, my condition was worse, the cancer cells were spreading and no medicine could help. He gave me the book Zhuan Falun and told me that I would understand why he kept encouraging me to practice Dafa after I read it. I took the injection in the hospital and went home. After I threw up at home, I sat down and thought about why these Falun Gong practitioners were so determined and so kind? After being refused several times he still gave me the book. I felt I had not behaved properly, so I should read the book.

I opened the book and immediately saw Master Li Hongzhi looking at me with a smile. I did not know why my tears poured out and covered my whole face in that instant. All kinds of feelings and pain poured out. I kept crying and did not know how long I cried. After crying, my heart felt lighter and I felt that all of the bitterness was gone in one second. Due to the frequent chemotherapy and the fact that I always kept crying, my eyesight became worse and things looked blurry to me. But I forgot all that. I picked up the book and started to read. While reading I was also crying. I was afraid that my time left would not be enough and I wanted to remember every word in my mind.

After I had finished reading the book once, I did not remember it. But it was very clear to me while I was reading and I did not know why I forgot it. Therefore, I started to read it again. After I finished reading the book a second time, I still felt that I missed something. So I told my child to take me to find his teacher. There, I watched Master's lectures DVDs. I also borrowed some other books by Master. While back at home, I was afraid that I could not remember the meaning of those books, so I was busy copying the books by hand and felt there was no time to go to the hospital. I felt this way for a period of time and I actually did not go to the hospital to take the chemotherapy treatments. However, my body felt better than before, especially when I was busy copying the books, I forgot my pain. The only thought that occurred in my mind was that I might not live long enough so I would have to take the time to quickly copy and read the book. If I could finish reading such a good book, even if I died it would still be worth it.

During this same time, I went to learn the five sets exercises of Falun Gong. At the beginning, I had to sit down to practice, but gradually, I was able to practice all of them properly. Back home, I did the exercises by myself since I wanted to grasp them quickly. Half a year passed by and I looked healthier and gained weight. Nothing could have been better than that. My co-workers saw me and told me to go to the hospital to get checked again. I went to the hospital where they performed all sorts of examinations and the results were all good. They did not find any of the cancer cells left. The doctor who performed the examination said that this was unbelievable. He asked me what kind of medicine I had been taking. I said that I had been practicing Falun Gong and I forgot to take any medicine during the past six months because I did not feel any pain. Now I am healthy and it was Falun Gong that removed my illness. From now on, nobody in my family cries anymore. Every day we are happy, very happy.

I feel very honored to be a Dafa practitioner and I will use every available minute to clarify the truth.
