'Li Hongzhi, You are a Big Swindler'
"I want to shout, Li Hongzhi, you are a big swindler, hurriedly tidy up your cheating jugglery, and hurt no one any more!"
The man who shouted such bitter words was Wang Jindong who used to be obsessed by Li Hongzhi and the cult Falun Gong.
In that year under the enchantment and allurement of Li Hongzhi and Falun Gong, Wang and other partners organized, planned, instigated and helped Falun Gong cultivators to fabricate the appalling self-burning event at Tian'anmen Square.
Now, Wang Jindong has made out the true colors of Li Hongzhi and Falun Gong.
In Zhengzhou Prison, Wang Jindong remorsefully told the reporter that in October 1996, an evil cult enveloped by flowery words sidled up to him, ruthlessly tore up all dreams of his family, which was the blood guilty evil cult Falun Gong. At that time his intimate friend Xue Hongjun who was obsessed by Falun Gong's absurd ideas coming back to Zhengzhou to "propagate the Fa" agitated Wang to join in for improving health.
Wang Jindong recalled after he was obsessed by Falun Gong, he spent half a month to read through Zhuan Falun, then he kept on practicing half an hour to one hour every morning and evening under the guidance of other friend. At the beginning, Wang Jindong practiced at home. In 1998, Li Hongzhi issued scriptures to require "Dafa disciples" to practice at the practice stations, and therefore Wang Jindong began to contact "co-practitioners." Gradually, under the guidance of scriptures, they began to gradually "go up." Among them, Wang Jindong was complimented "highly enlightened" by the group many times for he had surprising discoveries.
Along with continuously "going up," Wang Jindong began to "spread the Fa" to his family members, then the only 16-year-old daughter Wang Juan began to contact Zhuan Falun from the 4th day of her father's "obtaining of Fa." Two years later, his wife He Haihua began to cultivate Falun Gong too. Afterwards, the whole family would practice Falun Gong every morning and evening.
Under the control of so-called "the practicing course is the process of removing ordinary people's attachment," this admirable family began to remove from normal life and to be gradually enslaved to the spiritual control of Falun Gong.
He Haihua said she liked to watch TV, but Wang Jindong who was convinced by Li Hongzhi's instigation that "your time is running out, be diligent in cultivation," kept her from watching TV. She liked reading magazines, but Wang Jindong said: "Why don't read Dafa." Even her favorite red pepper was given up as "attachment."
Before contacting Falun Gong, cheerful Wang Juan loved singing and facial care. Afterwards, her father required her to let go these "attachments." Therefore, she tried her best to constrain herself, "dare not laugh, and dare not sing."
Wang Juan had prominent remarks of Japanese during her study in Kaifeng University, the teacher had conducted the procedure for her to study abroad. However, Wang Juan feared it would impair "cultivation" and firmly rejected, which was supported by her father.
He Jinju, He Haihua's young sister still remembers at the beginning of their business, Wang Jindong was ambitiously, ready to run another branch, and to buy a car in three years. After being obsessed to Falun Gong, in order to go through the "gate of money," the couple Wang Jindong and He Haihua always sat outside the shop, and when some customer came to buy something, they would say "no one is in the shop."
Under the spiritual control of Falun Gong, the whole family was increasingly obsessed. Wang Jindong said in August 2000, Li Hongzhi continued to distribute reactive scriptures such as Eliminate Your Last Attachment, mobilizing the practitioners "let go of all worldly attachments." The most influence to them was that Li Hongzhi claimed in a scripture "cultivation is for Consummation, now it is time to consummate, but you remain motionless, I'd like to see what you will do?" Thus, Wang Jindong and some addicts began to idolize "Consummation."
Then, another Falun Gong addict Liu Yunfang lost no time in claiming the scene of "ascension in broad daylight" of the immolators who set themselves on fire at Tian'anmen Square he saw during his "cultivating."
On January 23, 2001, under the repeated instigation of Li Hongzhi's "eliminating the last attachment," Wang Jindong et al who were obsessed in the sweet dream of "ascension," "Consummation," finally made the world-shocking self-immolation tragedy, and led to the serious result of two dead and three grievous injured.
Wang Jindong, a chilling reminder of the sharp pain, more clearly realized the blackness of Li Hongzhi and wickedness of Falun Gong. He wrote in the article named Ignorance, Death and Renascence: "Li Hongzhi takes advantage of people's simplistic idea of keeping healthy, to bewitch people to step into the trap of Falun Gong's 'ascension' and 'Consummation' by fallacy of doomsday. He grasps disciples' great attachment to 'Consummation,' using the avalanche of 'teaching the Fa' and scriptures to urge disciples' to step out of 'their own traps.' I went up the blind alley of self-burning by believing his rumor, and became a criminal. But till today, Li Hongzhi also encourages 'disciples' to step out. The fact has been proved that these so-called 'disciples' are just a card in his hand and a game he playing with, to bring shame to motherland."
Wang Jindong also questioned Li Hongzhi: "You let 'disciples' step out to achieve so-claimed 'Consummation,' therefore you issued continuously 'scriptures, teaching the Fa and explaining the Fa.' Is your 'Consummation" just suicide and homicide, just in the teeth of the government? You said you cherished us more than ourselves, but why you remain stuporous to more than 1,700 victims who lost their lives by practicing Falun Gong?"
Wang Jindong has called on the people who are still obsessed by Falun Gong today that: "Wake up, don't regret after great suffering like us, thus the price is too big! Li Hongzhi's 'Consummation' is nothing but a great lie!"
[Case 11]
Guan Shuyun Strangles Her Own Daughter to 'Dispel Devil'
On April 22, 2002, Guan Shuyun, in order to realize "Consummation," "ascension," executed so-called "dispelling devils," in face of dozens of Falun Gong practitioners, strangled Dai Nan, her less than 9-year-old daughter!
Guan Shuyun began to cultivate Falun Gong since April 1997. In July 2000, she was reeducated through labor for participating in illegal activities, then was released in advance in February 2001. After returning home, she didn't forget "cultivation of heart," still often communicated her experience with other cultivators and expected early "Consummation." Therefore, she had dispelled devils three times for "ascension."
On April 18, 2002, Guan Shuyun furtively told Falun Gong members Ren Lan and the couple Zhang Yanmin and Wang Zhilin: "Recently I have learnt some new knowledge and feeling and want to share with you." Zhang Yanmin et al called Falun Gong members in other places respectively. From the afternoon of April 19 to 22, about 40 people came from Jiamusi, Jixi, Suihua and other regions in Heilongjiang Province. They ate and lived in Guan's house, including 4 children at age 10 and more along with their parents.
On April 20, Guan Shuyun let her good friend, former Falun Gong member Li Fengling go to Guan's home with her daughter and wear the sports suit they bought together. When they arrived there, Guan Shuyun was huffish that Li Fengling didn't wear white shoes and her leather shoes were to fashionable, then let Li go home and exchange shoes at once. Li Fengling's 15-year-old daughter pulled caps with her joylessly. Thus, Guan Shuyun deemed that Li Fengling's daughter had very strong "demon qi" and should "dispel demon" for her. Then Guan ordered other people to slap the girl in the face. Li's daughter was disobedient shouting "you people are most inhuman." Guan Shuyun said, "Listen, this is a 'devil' talking." Then she rode on her, striking her face and pinching her throat. Li Fengling's daughter angrily said: "You may kill me. I will let the whole world know how cruel you are after I die. How inhuman you are." Li Fengling and her daughter held a chance to escape when some other Falun Gong members reached there.
At 10 pm, on the evening of April 21, Guan Shuyun awoke all people in her family and said "devils" were coming over, only she could demolish them. She let other people sit around her to form a "field" for assisting her to "expel monsters and devils." Guan Shuyun formed her two hands into a ring, hinting other persons surround her to choke her by neck. Meanwhile, people shouted "kill," "kill," and "kill all evil things." One hour or so later, Guan Shuyun drank a big glass of water, then spit continuously, saying "a devil" had been sucked out by her, melted into water and died. "Now I am the Master, you all kneel down!" Shouted Guan Shuyun, more than 40 people in the room knelt down, some of them even devoutly placed the hands together and grovelled. At dawn, Guan Shuyun thought again another person on the bed had "a devil" in body who was the dead devil's fellow apprentice, then the history of "dispelling devils" re-acted.
Around 7 am on April 22, after awakened, Guan Shuyun didn't let her daughter Dai Nan go to school, and told others her own daughter was also possessed by "a devil," if not expel, it would leave a lot of trouble. Guan Shuyun let Ren Lan hug Dai Nan on the bed, and hugged her in a quilt, sharply interrogated: "Who on earth are you? Where are you from? How many evil things have you done? How many people have you injured?" Dai Nan horribly said: "I am Nannan, I am not a devil, and I am a real human!" Guan Shuyun thought it was demon's feint to cheat people, then hit Dai Nan in the face. Then she let several people to ask what on earth Nannan was, and beat her. "Uncle, aunt, please don't beat me, let me go, I am a true human!" Dai Nan continuously begged. Guan Shuyun started to pinch Dai Nan's neck with no word. Dai Nan kicked legs and painfully struggled, but Guan Shuyun pressed her by leg, and let Wang Zhilin and other people come to press down the quilt on Dai Nan's body to prevent her from struggling. Dai Nan helplessly said: "I am human, I am not a demon, truly I am Dai Nan, you are killing me, you are criminal." Guan Shuyun told people it was again "devil's" talking, and then she put forth all strength to tighten little Dai's neck. During the time, at scene some knelt down, some closed hands and prayed to kill the "devil" as soon as possible, some were afraid the "devil" ran to their bodies and hid in the corner afar, and other people glared with empty eyes. No one was aware how long it had past, and Dai Nan was black in face like a log. Some one wanted to see how Dai Nan was but were all prevented by Guan Shuyun, who said: "Don't move the child, or 'demon' would run away, and we would not go ascension."
How could a mother who loved her child so deeply while killed her daughter? Guan Shuyun said: "My daughter was possessed by 'devil' to destroy Dafa, and it had entered her body in a flash. Once my daughter was dead, the 'devil' was also killed." She undisguisedly talked about the whole course killing her daughter: "I hugged Dai Nan in quilt, kept her from moving, and then I strangled her violently. She shouted 'mommy, please don't strangle me', and asked Aunt Ren (Ren Lan) for help. I told them it was none of your business. I pinched her so tightly that her face turned to purple. I was hesitant with tender-heart at that time - if I killed her, I would have no daughter, but if not, the devil would be harmful to the whole world. At last, I strangled her to death with cruel-hearted."

My Experience of 'Ascension'
Cui Qiaoyun was a retired worker in Kaifeng City,Henan Province who used to be obsessed to Falun Gong. In1995, she and other several people set up a Falun Gong study group and exchanged experience with each other to increasingly strengthen their determination of practicing Falun Gong. At that time, ascension following the Master Li Hongzhi was the dream of all Falun Gong members, including Cui Qiaoyun.
Under the inspiring of heretical ideas of Falun Gong, Cui Qiaoyun et al gradually separated from the ordinary people's life orbit and became different. They often posed as cultivators, seeing people in the society still buying houses, doing business and busy working, they felt funny. As they were convinced Li Hongzhi's words 'the earth would be destroyed," they thought the celestial phenomena would appear and in future in a flash nothing would be left. People still spent money and energy to establish buildings, to study useless things, to study things based on error, how funny it was.
Before Double Ninth Festival, Falun Gong members in Kaifeng conveyed a "scripture" scrip of "steping out and watch celestial phenomena." Cui and her co-practitioners gathered and discussed for several days, imaging if the Master Li Hongzhi came, how would he summon them, how would he appear in the sky, whether he would be able to name his pious disciples, how could they follow him to leave? They were so excited as if they were about to complete the cultivation and achieve Consummation, and they would go to the paradise with "the Master." They even started to arrange for the things behind them, making arrangements for the family, and said farewells to relatives in the mind. Later someone said the ninth day of the ninth month of lunar calendar is also called the height ascending festival, which means that it's time for leaving.
On the afternoon of the height ascending festival, Cui Qiaoyun went to supermarket and bought a lot of things, including clothes of different seasons for daughter, quilts and winter clothes for parents, spending all the money in her pocket. Returning home, she gathered the family members to have supper, in her mind, which was the last supper. At midnight she came to the lakeside of Longting Lake, and found many familiar or unfamiliar Falun Gong practitioners. Cui Qiaoyun went to an insignificant corner, singly sitting at Longting Lake, silently watching the most beautiful place of the ancient city Kaifeng, with no mood to appreciate the scenery left more than 1000 years. In her mind, there was merely delight and impulse of waiting for the master. The minutes slipped by. An hour later, it was already in the dead of night. Why the Master Li didn't show up! Looking around, she saw clusters of fellow practitioners everywhere, waiting, some of them holding kids in their arms.Everyone was waiting for the change in the image of heaven. Nothing happened till 2 o'clock. Then a practitioner said it maybe a test of "the Master." Others agreed, and they scattered in droves. No one dared to doubt it was false, because doubt would generate "karma."
Thus, a "feat of ascension" passed off in its own time.
When sobered up, Cui Xiaoyun said: "Infused with the theories of Falun Gong, we had lost the capacity of individual thinking and had become mindless puppets.Now I realize that the so-called 'ascension in broad daylight' was a sheer trick. If Li Hongzhi were really such a rare 'Buddha' rare to see in a thousand years, if he could go 'ascension,' he would not have to hide in USA to eke out a living. So many years have passed, but is there ever a Dafa practitioner ascension in daylight?"
[Case 13]
Whole Story of Falun Gong Addicts Self-immolation at Tian'anmen Square
On the first New Year's Eve of the new century, under the bewitchment of heresies "let go off life and death," "ascension," "Consummation," several Falun Gong addicts played an appealing self-immolation tragedy at Tian'anmen Square.
- Spiritual control enticed people mad
Around 2001, among Falun Gong addicts in Kaifeng City, Henan Province, a quirky story of an advanced "Dafa disciple" was spread: He claimed he "had opened his third eye," capable of seeing "existing modes of life and material in another space"; he also claimed himself one of the "top ten advanced disciples" of Li Hongzhi. The leading role of the absurd story was Falun Gong member Liu Yunfang, the direct organizer of the self-burning event at Tian'anmen Square.
Liu Yunfang, a former worker of a factory in Kaifeng, made a life on repairing electrical appliance and taking odd jobs in recent years. Since 1997, he was obsessed by Falun Gong. Liu Yunfang put his entire mind to worship the Master Li Hongzhi by the heresies, and made up imaginary balderdash. Liu often showed off he was summoned by the Master personally, and enlightened the essence of "Dafa." Falun Gong practitioners surrounding him were captivated by hearing these and they are proud of closing to Liu Yunfang.
During May and June 2000, Li Hongzhi continuously issued many "scriptures," stirring up deeply obsessed cultivators "to step out under pressure." In the "scripture" Towards Consummation, Li Hongzhi said one can be "towards Consummation" by "truly merging the whole life with Fa."
In May, Liu Yunfang excitedly said to Falun Gong addicts Wang Jindong, Hao Huijun, Xue Hongjun and other addicts in Kaifeng: "I have realized 'Consummation.' 'Consummation' means giving up everything. After 'Consummation,' human can gain ascension in broad daylight directly enter the paradise." His balderdash was recorded by Wang Jindong's daughter Wang Juan and handed out.
Since August, 2000, Li Hongzhi issued the "scripture" Eliminate Your Last Attachment, claiming "now it is the last chance of cultivation and obtaining the Fa," and it is "the deadline of true Consummation," agitating the addicts to "obtain a true fruition" at the turn of the century.
Liu Yunfang's "level" of "enlightenment" continued to ascend. Soon after, Liu Yunfang suddenly uncannily claimed, "I entered some condition during my practice, and realized my 'master soul' set himself on fire at Tian'anmen Square in Beijing, after being on fire, my 'Buddha body' appeared with flame spurting out of my mouth, in a flash, it was resplendent." Liu Yunfang told such balderdash to butter-tonsiled practitioner Xue Hongjun, and Xue at once spiced it up among Falun Gong cultivators.
Induced by continuously "going up to higher level" of Li Hongzhi, Wang Jindong also followed closely. In the last 10-day of December 2000, he publicly claimed he was also "enlightened" that "Consummation" could not be realized without executing the highest form of self-burning at Tian'anmen Square.
On January 10, 2001, Liu Yunfang, Wang Jindong, Xue Hongjun, Hao Huijun and the like again gathered and vied with each other to express they had gone up to a higher "level." They all expressed they would go to Tian'anmen Square in Beijing to burn themselves for "Consummation" eve of Spring Festival on January 23.
According to management, Liu Yunfang and Wang Jindong respectively informed Falun Gong addicts, Liu Baorong and Liu Chunling; Hao Huijun called her daughter Chen Guo who studied in Beijing and was obsessed to Falun Gong likewise, and mobilized her to go "Consummation" together.
- "Ascension for Consummation" and lost life for "paradise"
According to hint of "scriptures" of Li Hongzhi, Liu Yunfang, Wang Jindong et al were busy preparing. Wang Jindong claimed, "It's better to use petrol for self-burning."
On January 14, 2001, Liu Chunling spent 1,800 yuan buying 6 train tickets of No. 1488 Zhengzhou-Beijing, 1,000 yuan from Hao Huijun and 800 Yuan from Wang Jindong. After taking the tickets, Hao Huijun engaged with Chen Guo to gather at the bus station near Central Conservatory of Music at 8 am on January 17.
On January 16, Liu Yunfang, Wang Jindong, Hao Huijun, Liu Baorong, and 12-year-old Liu Siying and her mother Liu Chunling got on No. 1488 train. When the train started up, Xue Hongjun who was seeing them off promised with them: "See in the paradise."
Around 5 a.m. the next day, they arrived in Beijing and met with Chen Guo directly. They resided in an apartment in No. 18 Building, Chengzi West Street, Mentougou District by three batches under arrangement of Falun Gong members in Beijing.
On the mornings of January 18 and 20, Wang Jindong and Liu Yunfang took taxi to "Tianchangxuan" Arts & Crafts Store in Xinhua Street, Xuanwu District to buy long plastic bag enveloping painted scroll for use of loading petrol. Meanwhile they also handed out two blades to cut plastic bag and lighters to every person. The two also came to Tian'anmen Square to observe the situation.
Even in the hurry-scurry preparation period, these addicts still intoxicatedly communicated the "wonderful experience" after entering "paradise." Liu Yunfang said to Liu Siying: "Paradise is abundant in gold"; and told her: "Your current mommy is not your true mommy, and your true mommy is in the paradise."
Liu Yunfang and Wang Jindong also told their idea of self-immolation for "Consummation" to Liu Xiuqin, a Shougang staffer, who was same obsessed to Falun Gong. Liu Xiuqin was very excited and gladly provided a room for them to fill in the petrol.
At 8 am on January 22, Liu Yunfang, Wang Jindong bought 40 litres petrol and filled in more than 10 one-meter-long plastic bags in the room offered by Liu Xiuqin, and promised to "take the petrol bags to execute self-immolation at Tian'anmen Square on the morning of January 23."
Liu Xiuqin felt horrified seeing the plastic bags giving off smell of pungent petrol. At night, she poured petrol back into the can. At 8 a.m. next day, when Liu Yunfang, Wang Jindong totally 7 people came to fetch the patrol bags, Liu Xiuqin lied that "the plastic bags are aleak." Then Liu Baorong suggested: "Let's fill by Sprite bottles." All agreed with her.
Liu Xiuqin immediately went to supermarket to buy a box of Sprite, and then filled petrol into 14 Sprite bottles. In order not to arose notice, Liu Xiuqin sprayed perfume to every one. They finally determined to start self-immolation at Tian'anmen Square at 2:30 pm.
The seven addicts were singularly excited and shook hands, blessing "see in the paradise!" They left more than 5,000 Yuan, ID cards, clothes they carried totally to Liu Xiuqin. Hao Huijun and her daughter Chen Guo, and mother and daughter Liu Chunling who were eager for "ascension" hurriedly took a taxi to rash to Tian'anmen Square, so they had disappeared when Liu Yunfang, Wang Jindong and Liu Baorong went down.
After the four mothers and daughters arrived at Tian'anmen Square, first they went to a toilet nearby History Museum and poured petrol on body, and then they came to the north of the Monument to the People's Heroes. More than 10 minutes later, Liu Yunfang, Wang Jindong et al came to the west of Tian'anmen Square by taxi too. Soon after, a stupid and mad tragedy happened with flames and smoke hoisting...
- The miserable end is profound
Liu Yunfang, who always posed as "advanced Falun Dafa disciple" and directly planned the self-immolation event at Tian'anmen Square, didn't burn himself for "Consummation" on that day as promised, moreover, there wasn't a drop of petrol poured on him. Liu Yunfang had agitated other addicts to risk in pursuit of "Consummation" and "going up to higher level," but in the end, he excused himself lightly by a few of words: "I didn't set myself on fire because 'the Master' wanted me to remain to talk by my mouth."
Then the report continued to ask: "Why didn't you tell Hao Huijun and other people in advance?" He answered, "They have higher 'mind' than I, and they have truly 'Consummated' by self-burning. My level is inferior, so that I give up the idea of self-immolation."
Another planner Xue Hongjun at last uttered his inner voice in the detention house. He said: "'Consummation' is a soap bubble, to woozy people which is a beautiful dream, but to the sober, a nightmare."
The self-immolation participant Liu Baorong said: "'Consummation' means 'going up to the heavenly paradise,' which is a very good thing and will happen instantly, without any pain...(The heavenly paradise is) covered by gold, the roads are covered by gold, the birds are made of gold, everything are made of gold including human bodies."
Although the tragedy has passed more than 30 days, when the report talked about the scene of pouring petrol before self-immolation with Liu Siying, covered in bandages, Liu Siying still retched by conditional reflex.
"On the day of January 15, mommy said an idea of self-burning for 'Consummation' suddenly occurred in her mind. Mommy asked if I dare. I said if you went away, who I could live with. I could only live with you, and I was your little tail." Then Liu Siying choked with sobs.
"After the wound being cured, what is your biggest wish?"
Liu Siying answered: "I want to go home, I want to find mommy! I also miss teachers and classmates, and I want to go to school."
"How remorseful I am!" Chen Guo on the patient's bed sadly sobbed when mentioning Falun Gong, "I miss family members, and hope to recover soon."
"At that time I felt self-immolation was not fearful, because I could go to the heavenly paradise with 'Consummation.' Zhuan Falun told the heavenly paradise is very wonderful." Chen Guo recalled slowly the painful scene.
"Will you still cultivate Falun Gong in future?" asked the reporter.
"No. I regret. I never forecast the result is this." "After recovered, what will you want to do most?"
"Continue to study. After graduation, I will return to hometown in Henan, and become a music teacher like my mommy."
When a nurse in hospital asked Liu Siying: "How to go up to the heaven?" replied Liu Siying: "The flesh body remains and master soul will leave."
