(Clearwisdom.net) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. Back then I had many ailments, and I had visited many hospitals but no doctor could help me. When I was diagnosed with a papillary thyroid cancer in 1996, I could not breathe continuously when I slept at night. I underwent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Two months later, I felt worse. I later found out that I had kidney stones. I could not urinate and my body swelled up. Because of the ongoing cancer therapies, the doctor could not perform surgery on my kidneys and I could not take any medicine. I vomited continuously and could not sleep well.

I was at my wits' end. My son asked the doctor what else I could try. To our surprise, the doctor said, “Practice Falun Gong.” My son bought the book Zhuan Falun. When I opened the book and saw Teacher's picture, I had a familiar feeling and I thought I saw him smiling. I got sleepy every time I tried to read the book. My son bought a VCR and I watched Teacher's lectures night and day, and soon my body stopped hurting. One day the VCR seemed broken, so my son taught me how to do the exercises. Several months later, Teacher purified my body. I vomited something blackish-red and my urine had white powder in it. After two years, the tumor on my thyroid disappeared, and so were the kidney stones. From then on, I regained my health completely.

I am now 71 years old. I have no wrinkles on my face and my cheeks are rosy. Most of my white hair fell out and my black hair grew back. I can carry heavy things home from the market and climb the stairs without resting. Everyone was amazed to see the dramatic change in my physical condition. I told them about Falun Dafa.

I wake up at three-thirty every morning to do the exercises, study the teachings, and send righteous thoughts. In the afternoons, I go outside to tell people the facts of the illegal persecution of Falun Gong. In the evening, I study the teachings, read Clearwisdom articles, and send righteous thoughts.

The following are tribulations that happened to me and how I passed the tests:

One morning in 1999, I had severe pain in my stomach and I felt cold. I could not eat anything. In the evening, I could no longer stand up and had to stay in bed. I felt cold and I could not control my muscle movements. I knew it was interference. I had my husband play Teacher's lecture tapes for me. When I heard Teacher's voice, everything returned to normal. I felt brand new.

One time, my kidney stones were killing me. My body was swollen and I could not speak clearly. I could not urinate nor sleep well. One of my sons took me to the hospital. The doctor sent me home, telling me that I was in no condition to undergo surgery. When I went home, I began studying the teachings all day and doing the exercises regularly. Teacher began to purify my body. I could feel something pulling at me where my kidney stones were and it hurt. Later, I saw the stones in my urine and they appeared to be in the form of white powder. In less than a year, I was healthy again.

The above is my experience in practicing Falun Gong. I will try harder to do well the three things that Teacher asked us to do, so I can return home with Teacher soon.
