(Minghui.org) I had suffered with psoriasis from head to toe for close to twenty years. Even in the summer, I had to wear long-sleeved shirts just to hide my unsightly skin. In 1997, I was diagnosed with ischemic necrosis of the femoral head. I went to a hospital in Henan Province and a doctor there recommended that I get plenty of rest and buy two canes to make it easier for me to get around. I took medicine every day for about three months, but didn't notice any improvement. When I moved in bed at night, I felt excruciating pain in my hips.

One day, I visited my parents and noticed a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Gong, sitting on the dining room table. My father told me that a neighbor of theirs had given it to my mom, because she was suffering from a stroke. After reading a few pages, I, too, decided to read the whole book. I found it fascinating and agreed with everything that Master had said.

A friend of mine visited my home one day and before long, our conversation shifted to talking about the Fa. She encouraged me to regularly do the exercises in a park. It was only at that moment that I realized that she, too, was a Falun Gong practitioner.

Due to my lack of understanding of the Fa, I was still taking medicine while doing the exercises and reading Zhuan Falun . One month after I started exercising in the park, I gave the remaining bottles of medicine that I had to a friend who was suffering from a similar condition as mine. That night, I slept like a baby.

As I continued with my practice, my health steadily improved. In 1998, my boss took the whole company on a trip to Mountain Tai in Shandong Province. I had no problem whatsoever in keeping up with the others as we climbed up the hilly slopes. I truly felt the supernatural power of the Fa and Master's boundless benevolence.
