The Unusual Case of a Child Reincarnated for Revenge

Ms. Zhang, originally from Taipei, Taiwan, belongs to a family that has encountered a very unusual phenomenon. For five generations, her father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all passed away on their thirty-sixth birthdays.

Every eldest male member in her family has not escaped the tragic fate of dying at the age of thirty-six. Similarly, the eldest females, including her great-aunt and aunt, have died on their thirty-fourth birthdays. This pattern means the eldest males in her family pass away at thirty-six, while the eldest females die at thirty-four.

Despite knowing about this family pattern, Ms. Zhang's mother never revealed it to her, fearing that as the eldest daughter, Ms. Zhang would be unable to cope with the knowledge.

At thirty-three, Ms. Zhang already had three sons. In May of that year, she found out she was pregnant again, with her due date coinciding with her thirty-fourth birthday.

During this pregnancy, Ms. Zhang experienced particularly strange symptoms. She felt so uncomfortable that she would slam her body against the wall. Additionally, her morning sickness was only alleviated when her husband and sons hit her hard, which helped her get through the day. If they refused, she would argue with them. These experiences were entirely new compared to her previous pregnancies, unaware that the fourth child she was carrying was connected to a karmic debt from a past life.

Ms. Zhang's mother had a monk friend who visited her. He was astonished by something he perceived but refrained from explaining the truth to her.

At six months pregnant, Ms. Zhang had a craving for "silver thread rolls." She went to a Taipei restaurant to buy some and, after leaving, boarded a bus. Despite her visible pregnancy, no one on the bus offered her a seat; some passengers even pretended not to notice her.

Ms. Zhang had to stand for the trip, and suddenly, the bus collided with a heavy object and braked sharply, causing her to fall and be rushed to the hospital. That night, she went into labor early.

The baby was born prematurely at six months, very small, but described as a beautiful boy. The doctor informed her that due to the baby’s early birth, survival was uncertain, urging her not to hold out too much hope.

Shortly thereafter, Ms. Zhang was allowed to go home, but her baby needed to stay in the hospital for continued care and observation.

On the night of her baby’s one-month milestone, Ms. Zhang had a nightmare where she and the baby were both tugging at each other. Her grip suddenly slipped, and the baby’s face darkened. Waking up startled, she felt the dream was a bad omen and urged her husband to call the hospital. Initially reluctant, he eventually called due to her persistence.

At the same moment, the hospital informed them that the baby had passed away at three in the morning. Ms. Zhang began to weep upon hearing the heartbreaking news.

Later that morning, around six, a monk from Taichung unexpectedly arrived at their home. The monk asked, "Did the baby die at three o'clock?" Her husband, taken aback, inquired, "How did you know?" The monk then explained the situation.

It was revealed that the previous night, the baby had appeared to the monk in a farewell. The baby reportedly said, "I intended to take her (meaning Ms. Zhang) with me, but now I can't. She is genuinely filial to her mother; even while pregnant, she went to buy food when her mother expressed a desire for it. After the accident, I felt too weak to remain in her womb. I had initially planned to take her on her thirty-fourth birthday."

The monk questioned, "Why do you hold such animosity?"

The baby explained, "In her past life, she was a corrupt official who unjustly sentenced me, leading to my wrongful death in prison. The sufferings she has endured during this pregnancy mirror the torture I experienced. Her crashing against the wall and the children's hitting mimic the prison torments. Now, with a Buddhist altar in her home, I can't enter. I wanted to take her with me, but couldn't. I need to go to Changhua to be reborn."

Finally, the monk added that the early deaths in Ms. Zhang’s family also involved individuals who were part of that wrongful legal case or who had taken bribes.
