(Minghui.org) I was born in a small village in northeast China. I am just a common farmer, one of the 100 million farmers in China. But I am also uncommon because my wife practices Falun Dafa and I also believe that Falun Dafa is good.
In the past 14 years, while the Chinese Communist Party persecutes Dafa, I have kept righteous thoughts. I stood up for Dafa and supported my wife's practicing Dafa. I always help her distribute truth-clarifying materials and in telling people the facts about Dafa. And because my wife practices Falun Dafa, our life has become better and better even though we appear very ordinary. We have experienced many miracles.
I just want to recount a miracle that happened to me last year. I am so grateful for Dafa and Master’s blessings.
Over 20 years ago I had an accident that fractured my ankle. Because we didn’t have money then and farming involves a lot of physical labor, I didn’t rest and let it heal like the doctor told me to do. In the Spring of 2012, my ankle started to really hurt. I went to several hospitals. The doctors all told me that I had avascular necrosis in the ankle bone and that there was no treatment that could cure the problem.
I have a very high tolerance for pain, but pain in the bone is different from pain from a wound to the flesh. It was constant and excruciating. When it got bad, my shirt and pants were soaked with sweat from the pain. My lips turned purple and cracked from the pain and high fever. I couldn't bear to put my foot on the floor. Every day I suffered unbearable pain.
Our family has over 100 acres of farmland. My wife was busy running the farm and had to take care of me at the same time. She lost a lot of weight. I was anxious and worried about her, but couldn’t do anything about it.
One night I couldn’t sleep due to the pain. I was semi-conscious from the high fever. I couldn’t help groaning because of the pain. My wife said to me, “You could settle karmic debts with benevolent solutions. Pieces of karma are also living things. You could tell them to wait for you in your field. Once you reach Consummation, you can repay your debt with a benevolent solution.”
In my hazy state, I talked to the illness as if it were a living thing that can converse. I said, “Why don’t you wait for me in my field. If I reach Consummation, I will settle our relationship with a benevolent solution.” Strange things happened—the pain stopped and my body felt lighter, and even my state of mind seemed clearer.
Unfortunately, that didn’t last long. Only ten to twenty minutes later, my ankle started hurting again, and it was even worse than before. My consciousness became clouded again; I felt the illness, like a living thing, come back with all its relations. It said, “I didn’t find the place you talked about, so I brought them all back.” I endured another night of helpless suffering.
In the morning, my wife helped me to wash and then went out to work on the farm after breakfast. I endured the pain and quietly recited “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is good.” I picked up the copy of Zhuan Falun that my wife had left with me.
Surprisingly, when I abandoned all distractions and concentrated on reading, I didn’t feel any pain. In the past, I knew that Dafa can help a person to be a good person and be physically healthy. I also heard that many incurable diseases were cured through practicing Falun Gong. I simply believed in it.
One night, after I had been reading the Dafa book for only two or three days, I had a vivid dream that I was a machine, a machine that can think. I had gears everywhere in my body. One gear was broken, so other gears would get stuck when passing it, and I felt unbearable pain when that happened.
There was a person who could fix machines. I don’t know if he was Master, but he replaced the bad gear with a new one for me. He quietly asked, “I gave you a new one; are you still hurting?” I unconsciously moved my foot and woke up from the dream. My ankle wasn’t as painful as before! My tears started to flow.
I truly experienced the existence and power of Dafa. I steadily read the Dafa book, and quietly recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is good.” In about 10 days, I was able to walk without taking any painkillers, even though doctors from several hospitals had told me that there wasn't any cure for my condition.
One month later I was able to drive. Two months later I was like a normal person. I am very thankful for Master’s compassion and protection. I am so proud of those people who are cultivating Dafa; I rejoice for those who know the truth about Dafa; I also feel sorry for those who don’t know the truth and are still participating in the persecution. For thousands of years we have reincarnated and waited; we are choosing our positions now. Everyone has the right to choose. When you take a wrong path, there is still time to turn around. But if you continue, knowing it was wrong, you will be walking over a cliff and heaven will not pity you.
