Not Only Violating the Law, but Also Taking Advantage of the Goodwill of His Faithful Disciples

By Pi Fu

It is really surprising and shocking that Li Hongzhi has made 38.86 million yuan illegally. You may not believe that, but the human testimony and material evidence are irrefutable.

While his faithful disciples were practicing "Falun Gong" wholeheartedly, believing Li Hongzhi was a god and regarding his words as Gospel truth, what was Li Hongzhi doing? He was engaged in amassing money his followers earned by hard toil.

Let's see how Li Hongzhi fattened himself by amassing money from his faithful disciples. First, he deceived them with the doctrines he concocted by mixing up doctrines stolen from others. Then, batches of "scriptures," and "sutras" were published, and "practitioners' uniforms," "cushions for practicing `Falun Gong,'" and video and audio products were produced and sold by the "Falun Gong" organizational network, including practice sites and instruction centers and the "Falun Dafa Research Society. Li Hongzhi and his followers plotted a series of activities, which broke the law, such as falsifying ISBN numbers and distributing publications illegally. All this turned this well-organized network into a machine for greedily amassing money. Li Hongzhi fattened himself by getting money from this machine by way of author's remuneration, commission from the sales of publications, etc.

Let's see what kind of life the cult chief is living. He has bought luxury houses and expensive cars, stays in high-grade hotels and travels throughout the world. He has changed from being a trumpet blower of an art ensemble to being a millionaire.

Who has enabled him to live this luxurious life? Most of those who have contributed to his income are peasants, laid-off workers, and retired cadres. I wonder whether Li Hongzhi can sleep soundly at night, or does he feel a bit guilty?
