Wishing Wun Wun peace! Zhan Weizhong reveals a simple personal protection method.

Following the attack, fortune teller Zhan Weizhong took to Facebook to express his hopes for Wang's safety. He shared a simple ritual, termed the "red paper protection method," intended to bring peace of mind. Zhan suggested that such simple wishes for safety are not extravagant but are fundamental desires for friends and loved ones.

“

Seeking peace is not a great extravagance. It is simply the simplest and most sincere small wish in the hearts of all our good friends. But honestly, just reminding ourselves verbally always has limited effect.

The ritual involves writing one's name and lunar birthdate on a piece of red paper, along with the words "peace today." The paper is then folded three times and placed under a pillow for seven consecutive days. Zhan explained that this practice utilizes the calming energy of the color red and the intention behind the handwritten words to create a subtle "psychological shield," particularly helpful during times of unexplained anxiety or unease.

“

Find a piece of red paper about the size of your palm (if you don't have one, the back of a red envelope will do). Write your 'name' and 'lunar birth date' in black pen. Then, write the four words 'peace today' next to it. After writing, fold it three times and put it under your pillow. Leave it there for 7 consecutive days.
