I am Liu Chuanhua, male, 63 years old. I had been a tailor for more than 40 years in Shixing County, Guangdong Province. Originally, I had a happy family with filial children and grandchildren. With an expertise in tailoring skill, I ran a small tailoring shop and always did very well in my business. I even trained more than 30 apprentices. But since I started practicing Falun Gong, my happy family was ruined. I not only handed over the tailoring business to my son and daughter-in-law who had no tailoring skills, but also refused to go to the tailoring shop to give them technical guidance or any help. As a result, the shop was forced to switch to other business due to poor management, and our family income dropped drastically, resulting in serious domestic conflicts. What’s more, my eyesight was getting poorer and poorer due to excessive use of eyes in reading scriptures. In fact, I was so addicted to Falun Gong’s heresy that I rejected medical treatment for a long time, thus missing the best time for surgery. I almost became an old blind man who could see nothing.
My first encounter with Falun Gong
One day in July 1999, I went to the Children's Park in Shixing County for morning exercise when I saw a middle-aged woman practicing meditation on the grass. Being curious, I watched her for a while.
Seeing me curiously watching her, the woman came up and greeted me, saying, "Big brother, I was practicing Falun Gong just now. It is the Dafa in the universe, and many people in our country are learning it. If you want to learn, we can teach you for free. My surname is Ma, and I work in a silk company."
On hearing such an enthusiastic introduction, I decided to have a try. In the following days, I went to the park for morning exercise every day on time. Under the guidance of Aunt Ma and other Falun Gong practitioners, I gradually learned some exercises of Falun Gong. One day in early 2006, I had a bad toothache and went to a dental clinic in the down-town area of the County. I found that the doctor on duty seemed somewhat familiar to me, and then I came to remember that this person was Zhu Dalong, the assistance center director who taught Falun Gong in the park a few years ago.
He briefed me in private on the benefits of practicing Falun Gong, such as curing diseases, and gave me a copy of "Zhuan Falun" and some CDs and music tapes. I had a backache at that time and was not in good health. In order to dispel disease and become healthy, I read the book in private over and over after coming back home, and often sit cross-legged and meditated at home practicing Falun Gong.
Addiction to the cult has changed my personality
Before practicing Falun Gong, my tailoring business had been very prosperous. I worked hard and had a happy and warm family. But since I learned Falun Gong and was lured by ideas of the cult, I, once a gentle, moderate and good-tempered man, gradually became very selfish and ruthless. The tailoring business for which I had been working hard for more than 40 years was gradually declining, and I was forced to switch to other business in less than a year. The clothing stock worth of more than 100,000 yuan could not be disposed of or sold out, but I didn’t regret it at all. My son and daughter-in-law repeatedly asked me not to be obsessed with Falun Gong, but I laughed at them, saying that those ordinary people didn’t understand the profound thought of "Dafa." I was so indulged in my cultivation that family affections were abandoned by me bit by bit, and the father-and-son bond was almost cut off little by little.
At that time, my wife was suffering from "three high" diseases? (i.e. high blood pressure, high blood glucose and high blood lipid), and would spend more than 100 yuan per month on medicine. Seeing her in poor health, I wanted to force her to practice Falun Gong together with me, but she was not interested in it, insisting on going square-dancing. I said to my wife: "Square-dancing is of no use. You see, you have danced so many years, but you still have high blood pressure, high blood fat and high blood sugar, and have to spend so much money on medicine every month. It might be better for you to learn and practice Falun Gong with me." However, she insisted on not learning Falun Gong. I was very annoyed and quarreled with her almost every day. The original household harmony was destroyed completely.
Rejection of medical treatment bore bitter fruits
During my practicing Falun Gong, I was fascinated by illusive descriptions such as "the disciples who were true cultivators would not be sick, and had no need to take medicine", "being removed from the hell register" and "avoiding misfortune and disaster" as described in Zhuan Falun, they made me more obsessed with Falun Gong. I spent more and more time on reading relevant books, watching CDs and practicing every day. A few months later, I found that my eyesight was far worse than before. I felt blurred when reading the "Zhuan Falun" and watching related CDs. I wondered if the Master was testing me. Well ,I’d better try harder. So, I adjusted the alarm clock from 5 o'clock to 4 o'clock in the morning, so as to get up early to practice, and “send righteous thoughts” on time. I wanted to improve my health with magic of the Master's "Fashen (Law Bodies)". However, the harder I practices, the worse I felt. The more I “sent righteous thoughts”, the more blurred my eyes became.
Later, my wife found that something was terribly wrong with my eyes, as I couldn’t see things clearly and was unable to find the things she told me to look for. She asked me to go to hospital for examination. But I thought I was not sick, because Li Hongzhi said that "Dafa disciples" won’t be sick, and that they are protected by his "Fashen", so I stubbornly insisted not to go to hospital. My family members also came over, urging me to go and see the doctor. My two younger sisters Jinqun and Liqun, who was married long ago made a special trip far from Chaozhou and Foshan. They cried and begged me stop practicing Falun Gong and go to hospital for examination. But I was so stubborn that I turned a deaf ear to their imploring. By February 2007, when I felt that I had achieved “further advancement” on the path of my practice, I became so blind that I almost could not see the road under my feet, and often bumped into obstacles, sometimes even fell down, getting black and blue all over my face.
Seeing that my physical condition was from bad to worse, my wife was so worried that she couldn’t fall asleep every day. She constantly cried and begged me to go to hospital for treatment. Tired of her crying and nagging, and unable to resist her endless prattle, I went to the Yuebei Hospital, Shaoguan city a week later, accompanied by my wife. After a detailed examination by an ophthalmologist, the diagnosis showed that I was suffering from late stage glaucoma. The doctor suggested me to be hospitalized immediately and undergo a surgery. I thought that the Master must be testing me through glaucoma, and it was the time to show my “true nature” during the test, so I decided not to have a surgery, and left the hospital disregarding the doctor's advice. On my way home, I threw all the medicine prescribed by the doctor into the trash bin by roadside when my wife wasn’t paying much attention to me.
At the end of March 2007, my daughter, afraid that I might not be “obedient”, took a week’s leave and accompanied me all the way to the Yuebei Hospital. After another detailed examination, the ophthalmologist told me that I had missed the best surgery time based on the examination report, and that I might have totally lost my eyesight if I came 10 days later. That day, my optic examination showed the visual acuity of my left eye was 0.15 and that of my right eye was 0.1. Even if I took surgery right then, it would only save the last bit of my eyesight. Under the strong demands and supervision of my family, I accepted eye surgery unwillingly on March 26. After the operation, my eyes were finally saved, but I credited it to Li Hongzhi. I firmly believed that it was his "Fashen" that protected me, and I still expected to restore my eyesight under his protection.
After the operation, I returned home for rest. According to Li Hongzhi's "karma" theory, I thought that my glaucoma was not a disease. So, I still refused to take medicine. My wife’s daily warning was all in vain. I threw the medicines into the toilet and washed them away secretly. After a period of time, I found that my eyesight was still so poor that I could only see a human face within 3 meters. I spent a lot of time reading Li Hongzhi's "scriptures" each day and "sent righteous thoughts", hoping that miracles could happen. Three months later, I went to the hospital for a reexamination. The doctor said to me, "Glaucoma disease should be prevented and treated early. The sooner the surgery is performed, the better the results will be. The surgery you had undergone was a late-stage one. Because you had missed the best time for surgery and didn’t take medicine as prescribed, the post-operation recovery was not ideal. Currently, you can only maintain very poor visual acuity of 0.1, and you may possibly suffer from other complications, or ‘sequelae’, to be more professional."
On hearing the doctor’s conclusive remarks, I was suddenly stunned, and wondered how it could be like that.
