Just the other day, a friend asked if I was interested in going overseas for a holiday but I wasn't very sure because of the present coronavirus pandemic. Then, I read that the coronavirus pandemic probably would end in 2024 or 2025; purportedly a prediction by Liu Ji. More popularly known as Liu Bowen; the Chinese military strategist, philosopher, and politician with wide interests which included astronony, calendrical science, magnetism, and fengshui; served the founder of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang. He presented the emperor a poem called the Shaobing Song 燒餅歌 which reportedly predicted future events in China. Liu Bowen, unsurprisingly then has been dubbed the Chinese Nostradamus. The original Nostradamus, most would know was a French astrologer, physician and reputed seer who allegedly predicted future events accurately through his 1555 book Les Prophéties.
