Zhu Changjiu, a native of Renqiu City, Hebei Province, began to practice "Falun Gong" in 1996. After that he became infatuated with Li Hongzhi's fallacies of attaining "all-round fulfillment" and "going up to heaven." On October 25, 1999, he estimated that his parents should go up to heaven that day. While he found them still alive the next morning, he killed his parents with a hammer and a pair of scissors. He said, "I want to let my parents enjoy a happy life after going up to heaven." Zhu's wife said indignantly: " 'Falun Gong' is more fierce than wild animals."

Li Hongzhi said: "The final goal of practicing 'Falun Gong' is to attain the Way and fulfillment and become Buddha." "The worlds of Buddha and god are worlds made of gold. You should forget about life and death. In this way you can become gods, otherwise you can only be mortals."
