Ms. Jiang, a 33-year-old worker with a secondary vocational school education level, used to enjoy a good health. She began to practice Falun Gong in 1999, because she had been told that practicing Falun Gong could make her look more beautiful, drive out evils and cure diseases of her family members. Every day she practiced Falun Gong at five o'clock in the morning for an hour together with fellow practitioners at the practice site and then at home at noon and in the evening for two hours. She read Falun Gong books repeatedly, striving to open her "celestial eye" and see things that normal people cannot see. She dreamed about Li Hongzhi in her sleep. After half a month she was very depressed, and cried often. She claimed to hear voices ordering her to break things and injure herself.
Taken to hospital, at first she did not speak or move. Later, she grew violent, and even tried to kill herself by banging her head against a wall. After treatment she recovered and vowed never to have anything to do with Falun Gong again.
