Only by Having Faith in Master Could I Break Through Trials and Tribulations

(Minghui.org) I am 67 years old and began cultivating in Falun Dafa prior to 1999 [referring to the persecution, which began in July 1999]. For the past 20-plus years, no matter whether it was sickness karma, interference from the old forces, persecution, loss of family members, or any other tribulation, nothing could change my faith in Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, and Dafa.

Recovery from Late Stage Cancer

In early September 2012, I had a sudden flow of sorghum-colored liquid from my lower body, and lost my strength. By late October, I was bleeding. My daughter forced me to visit a hospital, where I underwent an ultrasound. The doctor told me that I had a cyst, and that it wasn’t serious. Then, he wanted to talk to my daughter without my presence. 

As soon as I stood up, I was bleeding non-stop, and then, I saw what the doctor had noted on the chart: cancer. I knew I shouldn’t have cancer, and that it was an illusion. Since I began practicing Dafa, Master has cleansed my body. This was persecution from the old forces, and I refused to acknowledge it.

A week had passed since the pathology test showed advanced cervical cancer. The doctor told my daughter that I could only live for another six months. However, my daughter didn’t tell me. She grabbed the results and went straight to the provincial tumor hospital. When the doctor there saw the test results, he said, “It looks like she can only live for another three months. Bring her here tomorrow and we’ll get her admitted.”

We went to the provincial tumor hospital the next day. My primary care doctor examined me, and said. “You have to work with me.” “Work with you?” I thought. “Only Master can heal my illnesses, nobody else can. How could a human heal a future divine being's illness?” In the end, they decided to go through chemo treatment first and I was discharged from the hospital after seven days. The doctor told me to come back in two weeks for radiation therapy.

After returning home, I reflected on the issue at hand. How could I have developed such an illness? Since I began cultivating in 1996, I never attended any group Fa study sessions. I behaved like an ordinary person and didn’t cultivate diligently. Master had protected me, a practitioner who failed to live up to a cultivator’s standard, and Master had endured most of my tribulations for me. I told my daughter, “Don’t treat me like a patient. Don’t buy me any medications; I don’t need any of that. From now on, I’ll study the Fa more and do the exercises more.”

When my daughter left her purse at my home one day, I took my health card and ID card out of her purse. She came back the following morning, looking for them. I told her, “Don’t bother, I’ve taken them out. I will not go through chemotherapy or radiation therapy. I have Master and Dafa to take care of me, and I will get well.” She responded, “After you were done with one chemo, you already felt much better.” I told her, “It doesn’t matter, and had no impact on me. It is my Master who helped me. Your two uncles had cancer and they had been through intensive chemo treatments, but they still died.” She said in a firm tone, “Then get the rest of our family members together. Don’t say that it’s me not treating you well.”

When my siblings arrived, they tried to persuade me, saying, “Why don’t you go through the chemotherapy one more time? You might just recover. Look, you have already gotten a lot better.” I replied, “That has nothing to do with the chemo. It’s rather because my Master took care of me. Please rest assured: I’ll get better for sure.” One of my sisters said, “If you recover without the chemo, I will also practice Dafa.” I responded, “Sure! If I get better, all of you can also practice Dafa, and have faith in the words ‘Falun Dafa is great!’ and, ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great!’ If you do, you’ll be blessed!”

During that lunar Chinese New Year holiday, I went to visit my youngest sister. Her husband said, “Other people don’t believe it, but I do. You recovered from your illness through practicing Falun Dafa.” Later, none of my sisters mentioned about my going to the hospital, as they all knew how I recovered.

More than ten years have passed. I haven’t taken any medication, and I have been keeping well. Since then, I’ve joined the local Fa study group, gone out with other practitioners to clarify the truth, and have distributed truth-clarification materials.

Walking Out of the Detention Center with Righteous Thoughts

My practitioner husband went to meet other practitioners at 8 a.m. in 2017, as he wanted to send righteous thoughts with them for practitioners being illegally detained by the authoritiees. But, as soon as he left our building, he was arrested by police who were lying in wait, and they found his home key and broke into our house. Several officers held me down on the couch, and an officer took out the photocopy of my I.D. and remarked, “You look younger than this picture.” “Of course it’s different,” I replied. “The picture was taken when I was ill. Now, that I practice Dafa, I am illness-free and feel very well. Those of us who practice Dafa are young and beautiful. You must not arrest good people.”

I further clarified the truth to them, saying, “I was diagnosed with cancer at the Provincial Tumor Hospital. They told me that I could only live for another three months. However, by practicing cultivation in Falun Dafa, I recovered. If I didn’t practice cultivation, I wouldn’t be here today.”

They took me to the police station and held me in a small room. My husband was also there. At 5 p.m., they took my husband and me to the municipal hospital for a checkup. Before I left, the officer who worked on my case first asked my husband whether he had any illnesses, and my husband said he was fine. Then the officer asked me the same question and I also said that I was fine. They took us to the hospital, and then to the detention center.

When we arrived at the detention center, the doctor asked what illnesses I’d had before. I told him, “I had advanced stage cervical cancer, and I also developed heart disease and was hospitalized. If I didn’t practice Dafa, I wouldn’t be alive today.” When the officers at the detention center heard that, they refused to admit me. At the time, my husband’s blood pressure had jumped to 220, which was very high, and they also refused to admit him. They asked my husband to take a blood pressure pill, but he refused.

The officer in charge of my case asked if I practiced Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. I told him that I did. Then he challenged me, saying, “You practice Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. How come you lied?”

I was dumbfounded, and confused. Then it came to me, and I said, “You asked me if I have any illnesses now. At the detention center, they asked me if I had any illnesses before. I had advanced stage cervical cancer and heart problems, and was hospitalized before. But I am illness-free now, since I practice Dafa.”

They could say nothing and they took us back to the police station where we stayed overnight. I clarified the facts to the officers who guarded me, telling them that Falun Dafa teaches people to be good by following Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. I spoke about the self-immolation incident on Tiananmen Square being a hoax, which was used by former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Jiang Zemin to frame Falun Dafa. I added that a number of high-ranking officials who had actively participated in the persecution of Falun Dafa, including Bo Xilai and Zhou Yongkang, all received retribution for their crimes. I said that the CCP is corrupt, and heaven will soon eliminate it. That night, I helped two officers quit the CCP.

My husband and I were taken back to the police hospital for a checkup the next day, but it was closed when we arrived there. A person came out to see us, and the officer told him that my husband and I were both ill, and he wanted to have us hospitalized. That person said, “But you need to check with them whether they agree to it or not, before you can decide.” He turned to us and asked if we agreed to be hospitalized, and both of us said that we were healthy, and didn’t want to be hospitalized. We were again taken to the detention center, and held there. The next day, two men from the district prosecutor’s office came to interrogate me. They asked me, “Do you plead guilty?” I replied, “I do not! I’ve never committed a crime.” One of them asked me which year I began practicing Dafa. I told him when I began cultivation practice, and how I benefited from it. I said that I developed cervical cancer and how I recovered. They were speechless. Later he asked another man, “Open her handcuffs, what’s the point of having her handcuffed?” After that, they left. I thought, since I did the right thing, Master helped me.

On the third day, they put handcuffs and foot shackles on me, and took me to the Provincial Cancer Hospital for tests to see if I had any cancer cells. Before that, they called my daughter and told her to have my file transferred out from the Provincial Cancer Hospital. When we arrived at the police station, my daughter and my siblings were waiting at the entrance. As soon as I got out the car, my daughter said that I needed to cooperate with them. I said, “I have done nothing wrong. It’s not a crime to be a good person by following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. I have Master and Dafa. Don’t give them any money – not even a penny.” I asked my daughter to transfer some money to my husband, so that he could buy some daily necessities in the detention center. But the driver said, “He went back home last night.” 

I was taken to the tumor hospital in the afternoon. As I had handcuffs and foot shackles on, bystanders looked at me, and someone said, “What crime did she commit? Look at her.” In ordinary people’s eyes, I was timid and afraid to lose face, but now, I no longer held fear. I told the bystanders, “I didn’t commit any crime, nor violate the law. I practice Falun Dafa, and hold myself to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. Just because I practice Falun Dafa, they came to arrest me. I had late stage cervical cancer back in 2012, but now I have recovered.”

A doctor examined me in the outpatient unit. I said to everyone there, “Please remember these words: ‘Falun Dafa is great! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great!’ I have fully recovered from cancer. When you sincerely say these words, it will work.” Nobody in the room said anything, including the police officers.

After I returned to the detention center, I was transferred from Cell 301 to 303. Before I went to 303, everybody there knew there was someone who was a late state cancer patient and recovered when she practiced Falun Dafa. One female inmate remarked, “I don’t think highly of anyone in this cell, but her (referring to me). She recovered because of practicing Falun Dafa. So amazing!”

When we were forced to watch the CCP’s propaganda every night, I only focused on sending righteous thoughts. There were two other practitioners there, and the three of us recited poems from Hong Yin together. Every morning at 3 a.m., I would send forth righteous thoughts, and think to myself: I am in the dark den now; I will destroy the old forces’ dark minions and rotten ghosts.

I kept sending forth righteous thoughts every day. After 14 days it was announced over the speakers that I was to pack up and leave. The three of us were reciting the Fa at the time, and none of us heard the announcement. An inmate told me, “Please quickly pack up and leave, you can go home now.” I didn’t believe it at first. When I saw the head of the police station, he said to me, “I told you I’d bring you here, so I did. If I say I’ll release you, I release you immediately.” I thought to myself: What you say doesn’t count, only what my Master says counts.

Overcoming Another Tribulation

I returned home and went out to clarify the facts in late August 2022. As soon as I got to the entrance of a building, two officers took me to the police station. They asked me, “Do you still practice [Falun Dafa]?” I answered, “Yes I do.” They handcuffed me, locked me in an iron chair, and ordered me to write guarantee statements. I refused. No matter what they tried to get me to do, I would refuse. I only sent righteous thoughts deep down and recited the Fa. Whatever Fa I could recite, I would do. At 8 p.m., after 11 hours of battling with the evil, they released me unconditionally. I knew that only with faith in Master and Dafa, could I make such a breakthrough in this trial.

I can’t express my gratitude enough for Master. Only by being more and more diligent can I repay Master for saving me.
