(Minghui.org) I learned about Falun Gong on June 30, 1996, from my parents. I saw how healthy they'd become after they started to practice Falun Gong, and I picked up the practice, too.

We continued to practice at home after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) initiated the persecution on July 20, 1999. I got married in 2005, but it turned out that my husband was not the sincere man I thought I'd found. He smoked, was lazy, and often picked fights.

I was disappointed and lost hope. Due to the persecution and my own laziness, I stopped practicing Falun Gong. My temper got worse. I fought with my husband and threatened a divorce. My parents and his parents were worried about us.

In the winter of 2012, my husband went to work in another country, and I stayed home to take care our child. One day, I did not feel well. I asked my aunt to take care of our child so I could go to the county hospital.

An ultrasound scan showed that I had a bowl-sized tumor in my belly. They said it was a teratoma and that I needed to have it surgically removed—and soon—or I would face grave consequences. The doctor told me to go home and talk it over with my family and come back to the hospital to have it operated on in a couple of days.

On my way home on the bus, I thought a lot: “I am still young. How could I have something like this? I'd always been afraid of injections and taking medicine.” At this critical moment, I recalled the miraculous effects of Dafa and decided to resume practicing. I understood only the founder of Dafa could save me.

I told my aunt what the doctors had said and what I thought. She said she thought I was right, since many people's ailments disappeared after sincerely reciting “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

“It's time for you to start practicing Falun Gong again,” she said, and I did.

Initially, I had some thoughts about my ailment. Later, I let it go and did not think about illness at all. I studied the Fa, did the exercises, and took care of my child every day.

I understood that all conflicts have karmic reasons. Humans reincarnate. If we owe others from a past life, we will have to render payback in this life. Before long, the teratoma disappeared.

Following Dafa’s teachings, I looked within when I faced conflicts and unfair treatment. I corrected myself and did not pay attention to others' shortcomings.

I started to be considerate of others, and peace reigned in our family. Our child is happy and well-adjusted. My parents and in-laws do not worry about us anymore.

Falun Gong has changed me and given me good health and happiness.

Background

Falun Gong was first taught to the public in 1992. Nearly 100 million people across China were soon practicing Falun Gong after experiencing improvements in their health and character. Jiang Zemin, former head of the CCP, perceived the spiritual discipline's growing popularity as a threat to the Party's atheistic ideology and issued an order to ban Falun Gong on July 20, 1999.

Minghui.org has confirmed the deaths of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners as a result of the persecution over the past 18 years; the actual number is suspected to be much higher. Many more have been imprisoned and tortured for their faith. Evidence shows that the CCP harvests organs from detained practitioners, who are killed in the process, to supply the organ transplant industry.

Under Jiang's personal direction, the CCP established the 610 Office, an extralegal security organization with the power to override the police and judicial systems and whose sole function is to carry out the persecution of Falun Gong.
