(Minghui.org) My son was born in 2004, and he is currently studying at a university. He is over 180cm [5.9 feet] and his skin is delicate and fair. Since he was young, he has been immersed in Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Master has been watching over him through the years. Therefore, he has seldom been influenced by the negative aspects of society and is very righteous and kind.
My son’s celestial eye was open from a young age. I remember that when he was 10 months old, he was sitting on the bed with his grandma while I read Zhuan Falun. We showed him the Falun on the book cover, and he raised his right index finger to point at it. Although he did not know how to speak yet, he moved his finger in a rotating motion and made turning noises. He even slanted his head to see the back of the book. I thought that he must have seen a three-dimensional turning Falun (law wheel). When he was playing in the nursery, there were times when he said that he saw Falun flying in the room or that he saw Master’s (Law Body), sitting on a lotus flower at a position higher than his height, and he looked the same as in his photo.
When he was in elementary school, the most worrying problem was that he could be made to join the Young Pioneers, one of the organizations of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I found his head teacher one day and said that we did not want him to join the Young Pioneers. I told the teacher that his grandfather had been persecuted when he was young due to his “low family class.” I did not expect that his head teacher would readily agree, saying, “Okay, I will tell the teacher-in-charge not to count him in and not to report him to the authorities.”
I was a bit worried about him being discriminated against by the other children for not wearing the red scarf, but he had never seemed to have a problem. One morning, when I woke up, I saw that both his cheeks were swollen, but he was not feverish. He had received all his scheduled vaccinations, including the mumps vaccine. I let him rest at home for the day and asked him, “Do you have any important classes at school today?” He replied, “No, our teacher asked us to watch the ceremony in which the children join the Young Pioneers.” I said, “In that case, all the more so you needn’t go to school today.” The next day, his cheeks were no longer swollen, and everything had returned to normal.
He is now in a university. In the big dye vat of universities today, most of the boys at the university smoke, drink, are promiscuous, and play video games, etc. It has really not been easy for my son to remain virtuous against the tide in that kind of environment. So many male students look sloppy. My son loves dressing well. He bought a few suits and loves wearing them. He wears a tie every day and washes his white shirts daily. He loves sitting in the front row during lessons and said that his clothes will make the teachers take more glances at him. When the teachers need help, they often look to their students. My son often helps the teachers do work and even does extra to correct the work that others did not do well. My son has virtually none of the slovenly, irresponsible, and sloppy habits that young people have these days. Thank you, Master, for your protection, so that my son is not being influenced by the modern warped material factors!
Although there are many things to deal with at the university with limited time, my son still reads the Fa for a while every day. My son ranks first in his class in his academic subjects. Because he majors in musical instrument performance, he goes to Beijing every week for lessons with a teacher, who is a principal player for the National Orchestra. Not long after taking lessons from this teacher, his teacher talked to me on the phone. He praised my son for his good upbringing and character. In today’s increasingly corrupt entertainment industry, I was quite surprised that the teacher would praise my son like that. As no one in our family is in this profession, we did not know much about music. My son just had an outstanding flair in this field and ended up on this path by a twist of fate.
I asked, “Do you also talk about character in performance classes?” The teacher replied, “Of course, having good character is definitely beneficial to a person’s future professional development. No matter what he does, character is definitely still important.” My son tutors a young girl in his spare time. As the young girl had just started taking lessons, her parents just wanted to see if she was interested in music. Therefore, my son lent her an instrument that he had used in the past. After seeing that she would continue learning, he then helped her pick a new instrument from a store. The store rewarded my son, and he returned the money to the girl’s parents.
My son loves listening to music by the Shen Yun Orchestra the most. He even wrote a few poems with musical accompaniment to perform when he was at the university, and they sounded quite in sync and nice. The melody was peaceful and beautiful, unlike modern music. When he was in secondary school, he often said, “Confucius said that classical rites and music had collapsed and were in a state of disrepair, and I wanted to restore the traditional rites and music.” We did not believe him then and said that he was bragging. Now, it seems that this may have been his wish.
My son is making full use of his time to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. Every day, apart from studying, he practices with his instrument in the music room. One day, he sent me an image showing his discovery of many Udumbara flowers (a sacred flower that blooms only once every 3,000 years), growing on a music stand. There were 18 flowers altogether, growing on the leg of the music stand. There was also another flower growing on the vertical pole that was pure white without any defects! Before he left for school, I asked him if he had an environment to do the exercises at school. He replied that it was not easy, but he surrounded his bed with cloth and did the meditation on his bed. He told me that although he could only meditate for 20 minutes, he was already able to feel that his main consciousness had left his body. I told him, “In that case, you must remember to come back.” He replied, “Yes, I did not go far. I just had a thought that my main consciousness should not be too relaxed, and I came back.”
While we have felt and experienced many of the details and miraculous events during my son’s life, I think there are more that we did not feel or experience. However, I remain steadfast in my belief that my son’s every step in his life is under Master and Dafa’s watch and protection.
Thank you, Master!
