Wang Yusuo, 49, has a harrowing tale to tell about how her husband lost his wits due to practicing Falun Gong.
"My husband was a worker at Beijing's Capital Iron and Steel Company. In April 1997 someone introduced him to Falun Gong, saying that it would cure his asthma. However only two weeks after he started to practice it, he had various kinds of illusion. One night, he lay on the floor and started turning over and over. When I asked him what he was doing, he said, 'My master is blessing me.' He once came home from the night shift, saying that Li Hongzhi had told him that somebody was going to kill him. I took him to a mental hospital, where he again started turning over and over on the floor. A doctor said that he was suffering from schizophrenia, and warned me that Falun Gong was harmful to people's mental health.
"Since he started to take medicine given to him by the hospital, he has had no weird symptoms. But he is still like a child, always following me around. He always says that he is afraid. It is all because that he dabbled in Falun Gong. My hair turned completely white during this hellish experience.
"When a person in charge of a local Falun Gong instruction center heard about this, he even said, 'Your husband should called out Master Li Hongzhi's name time and time again. In this way he will recover'."
