(Minghui.org) After many years of hardship and adversity, I finally became a Falun Dafa cultivator in 2024.

I’d known about Falun Dafa since 2004, because my younger sister came to my home many times to tell me about it. However, I was a well-known communist party member, indoctrinated by communist culture, and I was unwilling to accept Dafa. There were other factors, too. I was illiterate and couldn’t even write my own name. And I was afraid that if I became a Dafa practitioner, it would affect my children’s education. Although my sister always spoke earnestly and patiently about the beauty of Falun Dafa, I wasn’t interested.

I had extremely high blood pressure in 2023 and, along with my weak heart, I could faint at any moment. I had surgery to have my uterine fibroids removed, but they grew back, causing back pain so severe I could barely walk. I was hospitalized several times, but to no avail, and visiting better hospitals didn’t help either. I had no choice but to go home to recuperate. The doctors told me to be extremely careful with what I ate. I couldn’t eat vegetables or anything with oil, only thin porridge. If I ate anything else, I would vomit and have diarrhea. I was too weak to stand by myself. Several doctors suggested that my family should prepare for my funeral, so they had my burial clothes ready.

I wasn’t willing to accept this fate and decided to try another surgery in a new hospital three months later. The doctor told me that the surgery had a low success rate and advised me to be prepared, that I might not live through it. I called my younger sister in tears and asked her to come for a final goodbye. She met me before I went into the operating room and slipped a Falun Dafa amulet into my hand. She told me not to be afraid, but to keep reciting the words on the amulet: “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good.” I listened to her and focused on reciting the phrases during the entire six-hour operation. I wasn’t afraid and didn’t feel any pain. The operation turned out to be a great success.

My sister visited me frequently after I was discharged to take care of me. Due to her influence, I finally decided to start practicing Falun Dafa in 2024. After I got a copy of Zhuan Falun, she taught me how to read, one character at a time. From then on, Falun Dafa has been the most important thing in my life.

Whenever I opened the book to study the Fa, my heart was full of joy. The more I read, the more I treasured it. Every word from Master was so compassionate and well-spoken that I couldn’t help smiling.

All my illnesses vanished shortly after I started cultivating, and I haven’t taken any medication since. I study the Fa and do the exercises every day. I recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good” throughout the day, whether I’m working in the fields, walking, or cooking. If my mind strays, my legs feel weak. These words are truly miraculous.

I once went to the hospital with my husband because he was ill. When I saw the doctor who did my surgery, he was astonished to see how healthy I looked. Other doctors and nurses were also curious to see how well I'd recovered. I told them that Falun Dafa had given me a new life.

I’m now 75, happy and full of energy. I work in the fields and go to the market to sell vegetables. Sometimes I even look after my grandson.

I’d like to express my profound gratitude to Master for his compassionate salvation. Thank you, Master.
