(Minghui.org) I live in a city affected by the coronavirus, and it's been under lockdown since the Chinese New Year (January 25). My neighborhood is barricaded, and residents aren't allowed to go out.
One afternoon my wife developed a cough. She said her throat hurt, but her temperature was normal. An hour later, she nervously showed me the thermometer: her temperature was 37.4 Celsius (99.3 Fahrenheit).
I said she was fine and we shouldn't worry. By evening, her temperature had risen to 38.5 Celsius (101.3 Fahrenheit). I grew a little nervous too, as her rising temperature was a symptom of the coronavirus.
We dared not go to the hospital fearing we'd be placed in isolation. The drug store had already closed for the night. We didn't know what to do as we're seniors (I'm 80 years old and she's 76).
I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. I told my wife, “Only Master Li can save you. Keep saying, ‘Falun Dafa is good’ and ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’”
When she said she repeated them, I said, “But you weren't sincere. When I told you about the persecution, you said some disrespectful things about Master and Dafa.
“On New Year's Day I told the family about the epidemic. But you've all been misled by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) propaganda. You didn't take what I said seriously.
“You keep singing songs that praise the CCP and watching shows on TV that glorify the Party. When you say the phrases, you're not sincere. How can Master save you?”
I read her some of Master’s poems in Hong Yin Volume III. I said, “Our entire family has benefited from my practice, but you all continue to disrespect Falun Dafa. We have Master’s portrait displayed in our home. Please apologize and ask Master to save you.”
My wife's attitude changed. She stood in front of Master's portrait and very seriously said, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
After she went to bed at 10 p.m. she began to sweat. I got up at 3 a.m. and began to do the Dafa exercises as usual. My wife's temperature dropped to 37.7 Celsius (99.8 Fahrenheit). By 1 p.m., her temperature was normal. She stopped coughing and her throat no longer hurt. Within 20 hours of the first symptom, she had fully recovered.
Out of gratitude and respect, my wife now lights incense in front of Master’s portrait every day. Her attitude about Falun Dafa has completely changed. We are both grateful to Master.
