Ms. Chang Fengqin, 45, lived in a village near Handan City, Hebei Province. In 1997, she was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer by several hospitals. She was given four months to live. When she and her family were in this desperate situation, that same year she fortunately started practising Falun Gong. After a short period of practice, a miracle happened: she recovered fully. The story of her remarkable recovery spread among her relatives and in her village. After people saw the miracle of Falun Gong, many of them started practising as well.

After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin's regime defamed and framed Falun Gong, conducted brainwashing classes and tried to force practitioners to give up their faith. Under this great pressure, Ms. Chang Fengqin was afraid of reading Falun Dafa books and practising Falun Gong. She died in the summer of 2002 after her cancer came back.

There have been many such cases. If there were no persecution, Ms. Chang would have been able to continue her practice and maintain good health.
