(Minghui.org) I'm a Falun Dafa practitioner in Yichun, Heilongjiang Province. I would like share how my chronic asthma, which had tortured me for 30 years, completely disappeared after I watched Master's nine-day lectures.

It started with emphysema in 1968. I had a minor breakout every couple of days and a serious breakout every ten days or so. As soon as the weather had a little change, I would have difficulty breathing. I had to squat down, or lie down on my stomach in the yard. I couldn't tolerate it if it was too windy or too muggy. My asthma tortured me almost daily. I could hardly lie down to sleep. None of the traditional medicine, western medicine, secret recipes, or religions could help me. My health got worse and worse. My weight went from 170 pounds to 60 pounds, which made me look like a bag of bones. I even thought about killing myself to end the suffering.

Introduced to Falun Gong

Some of my friends introduced Falun Gong to me. One of my neighbors used to have diabetes. He was so weak that he had to be supported by two people while watching Master's lectures. However, he got well soon afterward. This neighbor told me to practice Falun Gong, but I couldn't believe it at first. I asked him, “I take so much medicine everyday and still can't get well. How can reading a book and doing exercises make me well? I don't believe it.” My neighbor recommended it to me again and again, but I refused it every time. I even swore at him out of disbelief.

My doctor saw how badly I struggled breathing. She told me, “I heard Falun Gong can get rid of diseases very quickly. It doesn't hurt for you to try. If it works, you can continue. If it doesn't work, you don't have to. It's free. I really feel for you.” What she said was very reasonable. But I still didn't feel like trying it.

It was drizzling one evening in 1998. I had a hard time breathing again. I panted painstakingly in the yard. One of my neighbors, little Sun, said, “Aunt Zhao, they are playing a Falun Gong video in Dr. Wang's home today. Why don't you go watch it? It may help you.” I didn't have any strength to answer. But my grandson bounced over to me, grabbed my hand and said, “Let's go watch the video!” He dragged me all the way to Dr. Wang's home. I stumbled to follow him and ended up watching a lecture for an hour and a half. I went back home that night and had a good sleep without me even realizing it.

The next morning, when little Sun asked me about it, I couldn't even remember I panted in the yard in the rain the day before. Looking out, I noticed it was still drizzling. I was shocked that I didn't pant in the yard last night, but had a restful night instead! Little Sun looked at me in confusion.

I suddenly realized what had happened. I picked up a broom, cleaned the floor, got on my knees, and bowed to the Heavens. I said, “Compassionate Heavens, you must have seen I haven't done bad things or hurt anyone. You must have saved me from my misery! I have been sleeping on my knees for 30 years! I was finally able to lie down and sleep last night! I can finally lie down to sleep!” I couldn't stop my tears of happiness. My grandson kept asking, “Grandma, what happened?”

After watching the lecture the next day, my stomach became quite active. I went to the restroom 11 times that night. I had a cold sweat and saw light rings. However, I didn't feel any discomfort.

Master Cleansed My Body

When I went to watch Master's lecture on the third day, I told Dr. Wang what had happened. She said, “It's a good thing, Master is cleansing your body!” I just realized it was indeed cleansing it.

After watching Master's lectures for nine days straight, my asthma was completely gone. My health had never been so great. Witnessing my change, many of my family members and friends joined me in Falun Dafa cultivation, including my husband.

It has been 15 years since I started practicing Falun Gong. I have been very healthy. Even though I'm 74, I don't get sick, not even a cold. My children say, “Mom is growing younger!” They all know it is Falun Dafa that gave me a second life. My whole family thanks Master from the bottom of our hearts!
