I am Huang Yanfu, male, 73 years old. I live in Crossing Community, Licheng Subdistrict, Xianyou County, Fujian Province. Before I retired I worked in the Second Light Industry Company in Xianyou County while my wife Zheng Yuanying worked in the Second Light Paperboard Mill in our county. As workers of the collectively-owned enterprise with good economic returns, we had a steady income. My son got married in the early 90s and the couple had their own jobs. My family lived a happy and harmonious life and got well with the neighbors. ,

In May 1997, I rested at home after my retirement. At that time, I was in poor health. I often suffered from stomach ache and saw no improvement after several treatments. I was told that practicing Falun Gong could keep fit and cure diseases. It was said that Falun Gong could cure disease without taking any medicine, what's more, the person who practiced well could also become an immortal or Buddha. Those words tempted me to have a try. Soon I joined Falun Gong under other practitioners' recommendation. I was always working earnestly, so naturally I devoted myself to Falun Gong.

After my retirement, I had nothing to do at home , so I got losts of time. As long as there is time, I would sat in mediation and practice over and over again. I also bought Zhuan Falun and other books on Falun Gong, spending most of my time in reading and practicing again and again.

My wife was also in poor health, so I instigated her to practice with me. We both became Falun Gong practitioners.

Li Hongzhi had said in Zhuan Falun that it was karma which caused all diseases and unhappiness, and that the birth and death were all retribution of karma. Since the second half of 1997, I had been refusing to take medicine. When I got an upset stomach, I would try to shift my attention by practicing Falun Gong. Seeing my pertinacity, my son and daughter-in law gently persuaded me many times but I turned a deaf ear to them. Because of gastritis I suffered from acidity, they had to add recipes that could strengthen stomach and suppress acidity to take good care of my diet.

In this way, the days lasted till the first half of 1999, during that period though my stomach trouble didn't get better, my body was maintained by a narrow margin.

In July 1999, China officially banned Falun Gong. My son and daughter-in-law persuaded us many times not to practice any more. I agreed on the surface, but still practiced Falun Gong in secret.

Then, in the twinkle of an eye, it was May 2005, by which Chinese government had banned Falun Gong for one year and ten months. I was still obsessed in practicing Falun Gong and firmly believed in the Master's theory of eliminating karma without taking medicine.

In May, enticed by backbones of Falun Gong from Putian City, Fujian Province, I took a train for Beijing from Fuzhou Railway Station with some other practitioners to "tell the truth"and "promote Fa" Later, when the train passed by Zhengzhou in Henan Province, we were found to be suspicious and show the cloven foot when showing our ID cards to the police. As a result, we were sent back to Xianyou County.

In the second half of 2002, I often felt tired after cultivation and my stomach trouble flared up from time to time because I had been obsessed in Falun Gong for a long time and lived an irregular life. However, I still bore the pain and kept on practicing Falun Gong, hoping it would help me eliminating the karma.

After the Spring Festival of 2003, my health condition got even worse. I was pining away and looked increasingly sallow. Sometimes if I practiced too long I could not stand up . I still believed what the Master had said, "Taking medicine is to amass your karma, which will ruin yourself in the end and can only be eliminated by practice", so I insisted.

In May 2004, seeing my health even worse, my son and daughter-in-law advised me to have a medical examination in the hospital, but I would rather believe Li Hongzhi's theory. I thought that my weak was due to my heavy karma and so long as I kept on practicing I would improve to a higher level and eliminate karma. Therefore, I refused to take medicine and go to the hospital to have an examination. At last, my son and daughter-in law had to send me to hospital for examination with force.

I was diagnosed as stomach cancer. Fortunately, the symptom hadn't developed into the terminal stage. The doctor advised me to be in hospital for an operation at once. I refused to be hospitalized as I still believed what the Master had said "the person who practices Falun Gong is supernatural, the disease cannot be treated casually and only by practicing Falun Gong can karma be eliminated.".

My son persuaded me with patient. "Dad, you have ever said practicing Gong could keep fit and cure diseases, but now you see you are seriously ill. Why not believe the science? . Falun Gong not only hurt you but also our whole family!" My daughter-in-law begged me to hospitalize with tears. The doctor also persuaded me by telling me the modern medical knowledge from the angle of science. At last, with desire to live, I gave up the so-called treatment by eliminating karma and accepted the medical treatment.

After several chemotherapeutics, my disease was kept under control. Thanks to the doctors' careful treatment and my family member's consideration, I triumphed over death

The thing has passed for a few years, but I still have a panic fear when I think of it. If I had believed the heresy on eliminating karma of Falun Gong and refused to take medicine and had the operation in time , I am afraid, I wouldn't be alive today. In these few years, I have been coming along well with medicine and proper sports activities.
