(Minghui.org) My niece is 33 years old. Both my brother and his wife have practiced Falun Dafa for over two decades. When she was young, my niece used to follow her parents in doing the exercises and reading the teachings. She later got busy with studies, and gradually stopped doing the exercises or reading the Fa. However the principles of Dafa – Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance – had taken root in her heart. She knew how to conduct herself following these principles in her daily life and at work. When she had time, she read Falun Dafa’s main text Zhuan Falun. Therefore she always considered herself a Falun Dafa practitioner.
After my niece married, out of respect for her faith, her husband read Zhuan Falun once or twice. After reading the book he told my niece, “This book teaches one how to be a good person. It is unlike the reports on TV that claim Falun Dafa is bad.” He told her, “You may practice your faith, Falun Dafa, I support you. One needs to have a belief.”
On December 7,2022, China suddenly opened up after strict lockdowns. My niece’s husband was working in Chengdu and most of his coworkers tested positive for COVID. Soon after he returned home on December 9, he developed COVID symptoms. His head began to hurt, his temperature went up to 39.5 degrees, his throat hurt, and he had no energy or appetite. As it was already after 8 p.m. There was only my niece and their less than 6 month old baby at home. He thought he was young and therefore had strong immunity. He did not want to go to the hospital. He went to bed. However he got worse and soon after, his temperature was over 40 degrees (104 Fahrenheit).
My niece was worried and suggested that he listen to the recordings of Master’s lectures given in Guangzhou. He agreed. Two hours later, his head stopped hurting, his fever subsided and he regained some energy. He still coughed, but his throat did not hurt as much. Just like that, his COVID symptoms were gone in a short time because he believes that Falun Dafa is good.
The next morning, their infant also developed COVID symptoms. As the child was so young, he could not express his discomfort and kept crying. His temperature was 39 degrees (103). The parents called an ambulance and arrived at the hospital half an hour later. The doctor carried out all kinds of tests which took around 3 hours. In the end, the doctor told them: “The baby tested positive. There is no medication. Go home!” The young parents' hearts sank. After wasting hours and spending several hundred yuan, they were simply told to take the baby home without any medication. They had no choice but to take their crying son home. They phoned my brother and sister-in-law and told them the bad news.
They live around 20 minutes’ drive away, and my sister-in-law immediately hurried over. As soon as she arrived, my sister-in-law picked up her grandson who had been crying nonstop and repeatedly recited, “Falun Dafa is great, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is great.” She also recited “On Dafa” from Falun Dafa’s teachings Zhuan Falun. Two hours later, the baby slowly calmed down and stopped crying. An hour later, he fell asleep. When they took his temperature, it was normal and his face was no longer red. The family relaxed. Everyone was grateful to Dafa and Master Li for saving the baby!
Three days later, my niece came down with similar symptoms as well. She felt terrible but she was not frightened. Her husband kept reading passages in Zhuan Falun to her. She kept reciting, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good” in her heart. She soon recovered as well.
Their belief in and positive thoughts about Falun Dafa saved my niece and her family. Everyone in the family is grateful for Dafa and Master’s blessings! I hope more people can come to realize how amazing Falun Dafa is through my niece’s experience and sincerely recite: “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good” like we do. You will be protected by Dafa and your life will not be in danger.
