(Minghui.org) As COVID surged in China recently, many people got infected and suffered severe symptoms. But some were fortunate to avoid getting infected or only had minor symptoms after testing positive. Below are a few examples from Minghui readers.
Like other places in China, Shuidongjiang Town in Shaodong City, Hunan Province, was also hit hard during this latest wave of infection. According to the education department of the town, over 60 current and retired teachers in the area died of COVID in December 2022 alone. Many other residents also died. The local funeral homes had to hold several funeral ceremonies simultaneously. Even so, there was still a long waiting line for funeral services.
Liang, 90, remained miraculously well throughout the chaos. He only had a slight fever after getting infected. After staying in bed for one day, he was fully recovered. When others in the village asked him why he was so lucky, he told them that he believed he was blessed for supporting innocent Falun Dafa practitioners who had been persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over the past two decades.
He often recited the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He hoped other villagers would do the same and be blessed like him.
Another Minghui reader wrote that she had a chat with her brother’s wife Jing when she visited her parents recently. Jing expressed her gratitude to her mother-in-law (the Minghui reader’s mother).
Jing said that her mother-in-law, a Falun Dafa practitioner, has told her and everyone else in the extended family, including Jing’s siblings and parents, about the CCP’s persecution of Falun Dafa and helped them quit the CCP organizations. Jing also recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” from time to time.
Jing’s parents, both 90, only had very mild symptoms for a brief period after getting infected. Her mother often said they should thank Jing’s mother-in-law for practicing Falun Dafa and bringing blessings to everyone in the extended family.
Qiong started to practice Falun Dafa before the persecution started in 1999. Her husband Kun just read a little of the Dafa books and did not really practice it, but he is very supportive of Qing in her belief and in her efforts to expose the persecution. For example, he helped staple the printed materials and did the cooking so that Qing could have more time to distribute truth-clarification materials.
One time right before the Chinese New Year, Qing and another practitioner went to a local farmers’ market to hand out materials. Kun was at home cleaning windows when he fell from the table he was standing on. He landed on a shorter table next to it and injured his lower back. When he quickly recovered, he knew that Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, was helping him.
Kun works on offshore platforms. Very often he is assigned shift work that messes up one’s biological clock. In September 2022, he was again assigned unusual shifts. He was in a low mood because of that, and his legs were swollen and hurt. Qing reminded him to keep in mind “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” After a few days, he called Qing and said, “I recited the phrases every day and everything is great now.”
Kun’s company had more than 10,000 contractors (including him). Several years ago, the company turned 600 of the contractors into full-time employees. Kun was one of them and again he knew this was a blessing from Falun Dafa.
