(Minghui.org) In March of this year, my urine turned red. I ignored it because I didn't have any pain. But by the end of April, the symptoms had gotten worse.
I went to a hospital and was given three injections, which didn't help. I then went to the city hospital and was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I am 75 years old and live in a rural area. The prognosis frightened me, and I trembled with fear.
The doctors said I should have surgery right away. My blood pressure, however, was too high. Even after taking four different drugs for a week, it was still high. The doctor and my family were really desperate.
At that moment, I thought, “I don’t want my blood pressure to go down. I want to go home and learn Falun Dafa from my wife.”
The doctor said, “There is nothing we can do to help; you have to go home and wait for your blood pressure to drop. Then we can operate.”
On our way home, I was unsteady on my feet. Fortunately, my wife held me tightly.
I understood only Dafa could save me, so both my wife and I started reciting, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” My wife also asked Master Li to save me. I felt better, and we returned home safely.
Because my wife is a Falun Dafa practitioner, I learned the practice from her. A week later, I passed a green ball of flesh the size of a soybean when I urinated.
The next day, I passed another one the same size. My wife said excitedly, “Master is purifying your body and removing the cancerous tumor!”
I was so moved and grateful to Master. The doctors couldn't operate on me, but Master did!
My children were even more thrilled and exclaimed, “Falun Dafa is truly miraculous! Master Li is great!”
My eldest son said, “If my father has recovered, I am going to learn Falun Dafa, too!”
Here, I would also like to reveal my deeply hidden regrets:
I am a military veteran and was a long-standing member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The CCP's doctrine of atheism had poisoned me for many years.
Before 1999, my eldest daughter and son-in-law both practiced Falun Dafa. My wife didn't practice then, but she supported them. They told me many times about the beauty of Dafa. I just didn't believe them.
Especially after July 20, 1999, when Jiang Zemin, the former head of the CCP, fabricated lies about Dafa on TV, I believed all that negative propaganda.
In 2002, my daughter and son-in-law were detained in a forced labor camp and left us their child, who had serious burns, to look after.
At that time, I did not think they were being unjustly persecuted.
Instead, I thought people who practiced Falun Dafa were just hostile to the government. I resented Dafa and Master Li, and I resented people who practiced it.
I even resented my children for not listening to the CCP. I also resented my wife who spoiled them and I thought Falun Dafa harmed my family.
But in recent years, I have seen how the CCP has become more and more out of sync with the will of the people. Those officials who followed Jiang Zemin were corrupt and did a lot of bad things.
People have no sense of morality, and the younger generation has been misled and does bad things just for profit. I've heard many people complain about and blame the CCP.
On the other hand, I saw my wife, my children, sisters, and relatives beginning to learn Dafa. My wife also taught our grandchild to practice Falun Dafa and his burns were healed.
Relatives who had bad tempers, unhappy families, and poor health all changed after practicing Dafa.
Now they are healthy, have high standards, and consider others first. I haven't yet told others what I think about Dafa, but I already feel good about it.
I regret that such a great Dafa had been right in front of me for 20 years but that I had missed the opportunity to learn it due to my stubbornness.
Merciful Master Li did not give up on me and pulled me back from the edge of the cliff; I was given a second chance!
From my own personal experience, I want to tell people: Don't listen to the CCP's lies. You should find out what Falun Dafa truly is, listen to the facts about the persecution, and withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Believe that “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
