(Minghui.org) It was nine years ago that I had an amazing experience when I was in college. One summer not long before final exams, I developed a bad cough. It persisted, with a low fever through the night. After several days of coughing I developed a severe pain in my chest. It felt as though I had been hit hard. Breathing became difficult and I felt like I was going to die.

At the hospital I was diagnosed with fluid in the thoracic cavity – pleural effusion. This would require hospitalization for a medical procedure to pump the fluid out. Finals were soon so I was hesitant even though it appeared to be the only way to recover. I called home and spoke with my mother who encouraged me to come home immediately. At home my mother asked me to practice the Falun Dafa exercises with her. I knew Falun Dafa was good but never took it seriously.

We did the exercises together for several days. I was not sure I wanted to continue with them – as it hurt my chest even more. My mother said I needed to choose between Falun Dafa or have the procedure recommended by the doctor in the hospital. I did not want to go in the hospital so I chose to continue with the exercises.

Two days after my decision the pain lessened. A week later I woke up one morning pain-free. All I had remaining was a little rash near my mouth. Master Li (the founder of Falun dafa) took care of me.

A week later I was fully recovered and rushed back to school to take my exams. My friends at school were surprised to see me. They asked me how I was able to recover so quickly without a medical treatment and recovery time.

I told them my secret. Falun Dafa saved me!
