People in every generation have some teaching that is based on truth. God is the Truth and has been speaking to man from the beginning, teaching them according to their level of maturity. The Chinese had the
Taiping jing (Scripture of Great Peace) which resonates with the truth.

illness is the result of bad deeds, for which people bear personal blame. The remedy is a lifelong commitment to good conduct, the prompt confession of bad deeds, and proper worship....
Many illnesses are due to sin. God wants men everywhere to repent, to confess their sins, and turn to him for salvation. The Holy Bible has a similar teaching:
James 5:14-16 (GNV): "Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed: the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
John 5:14 (GNV): "Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."
More about what the Taiping jing teaches:
Moreover, there are other-world records inscribed with a person’s name and deeds....
There are books that are not of this world and every deed of ours is written in those books. Even the Chinese long ago knew this, apparently. The book of Revelation teaches the same:
Revelation 20:12-13 (GNV):
12 And I saw the dead, both great and small, stand before God: and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
We shall all be judged according to those things written in our books. I have not yet read any more of the Chinese
Scripture of Great Peace, but these points match what Jesus teaches his disciples.
