Chapter 5: Walking Again After a Decade of Paralysis: The Triumph of Faith and Goodness
Mr. Wang (55), Former Construction Worker.
“Ten years in a wheelchair with severe spinal cord compression made me believe my legs were dead. The moment I stood up unaided, my entire village wept with joy.”
1. Traumatic Spinal Injury
In 1991, an industrial accident crushed Mr. Wang’s lower thoracic vertebrae, causing bilateral lower extremity paraplegia, neurogenic bladder, and severe muscle atrophy below the waist.
2. The Awakening of Latent Vitality
Introduced to Falun Dafa in 2001, he practiced the seated meditation with support and read the book attentively. Over weeks, sensation gradually crept down his thighs into his toes, followed by spontaneous muscle contractions.
3. Standing on His Own Two Feet
Within six months, Mr. Wang stood upright on his own legs. Today, he walks without crutches, tends to his organic garden, and shares his inspiring journey of recovery with anyone in despair.
