(Minghui.org) I am 39 years old and live in Hebei Province. Many years ago, a close friend of mine told me about Falun Dafa. She said if I sincerely recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” in times of danger, I would be protected.

Back then, I was skeptical that Falun Dafa had such power. Being young and healthy, I wasn’t seeing any catastrophe coming my way any time soon. But something happened two years ago that completely changed my perception.

The Beginning of a Nightmare

In the summer of 2020, I was bleeding even though I was not having my period. My husband took me to the hospital. Ultrasound showed that I had three uterine fibroids. I was admitted to the hospital and scheduled for surgery to remove the tumors. Only then would the doctor be able to tell whether I had cancer or not.

As soon as I was admitted, I began to develop a low-grade fever. The fever persisted after various treatments. The surgeon canceled the operation due to my fever. I was in the hospital for ten days, and due to the pandemic, we decided to go home for the time being.

After I returned home, I felt exhausted. One day while lying in bed, I suddenly recalled something: When I was very young, a fortune-teller told me that there would be a big tribulation when I turned 37. Was this the “tribulation” he talked about?

Since then, negative thoughts dominated my mind: “What if I have cancer? If I die and my husband remarries, what would happen to my children?” The more I thought about my fate, the worse my headache became. I was trapped in my imagined, doomed world. I no longer had any interest in anything. I lost my appetite. I was terrified. I cried hysterically when I could not hold it in anymore.

I had some terrifying visions. I saw myself lying on a stone bed, but I could not wake myself up; I saw myself in a black maelstrom and I wanted to pull myself up but could not; I also saw my body wrapped in metal chains and I had blood and bruises all over my body.

When the pandemic eased, my husband took me to the best psychiatric hospital in Beijing. After a couple of consultations, the doctor diagnosed me with moderate depression. The doctor instructed my family to watch me closely since I was not stable.

My husband wept silently when he learned of my condition. He found the best psychiatrist for me, but to no avail. I stayed in Beijing for a month and a half, without making any improvement. After I was discharged from the hospital, I had to follow my husband to work out of town because I could not take care of myself anymore.

Awakening

In the summer of 2021, my friend who told me about Falun Dafa before sent me an electronic reader and asked my husband to read Dafa books to me if I could not read it myself. My husband didn’t quite believe it. He took the electronic reader, but left it on the nightstand, without reading it to me or asking me to read it myself.

One night around 2 a.m., I could not sleep again. While tossing and turning, I suddenly saw the colorful light from the nightstand, and I became curious about where it came from. I opened the drawer and saw the electronic reader. I turned it on and saw the copy of Zhuan Falunthat my friend prepared for me. I began reading immediately, and while reading, I felt very comfortable.

I had another vision: I was lying in bed but I was awakened by a giant hand; I was still trapped in a black maelstrom but I was pulled up; I was chained to a tall pole, but after a yellow light shined upon me, all the chains disappeared. I kept reading until morning.

After my husband got up, he saw me reading. He was very excited, “Falun Dafa is amazing! Your eyes are no longer dull!”

From that point on, I no longer had negative thoughts. I lived a fulfilled and happy life every day. I no longer have any health problems after a thorough checkup. Our entire family is deeply grateful for Master’s saving grace!
