For some officials and business celebrities, Wang Lin's name has long been familiar.
He is an "intellectual youth" who steals bicycles,
It's the "mysterious" prisoners in the prison who make fish flesh,
It is the object of "praise" by many high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
In his home, entertainment celebrities, celebrities, business elites, and dignitaries gather here, which is dazzling.
The rumors about him from the outside world are amazing,
His series of divine techniques such as transforming into a snake in an empty basin, resurrecting a broken snake, and lengthening the snake's body are amazing.
Some people even said that he could "cure all diseases", "save lives and drive away evil spirits", and "transport and eliminate disasters".
These spells, which were touted by thousands of people, turned out to be very low-tech juggling magic.
However, it is these tricks that are not in the flow that have captured the hearts of many officials and businessmen.
He is Li Bingbing's dry father,
He is a guest of honor for Ma Yun, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Zhao Wei, Wang Fei, Wang Zuxian, Zhou Xun, Xiang Huaqiang and many other big names.
What are the extraordinary means of a charlatan, and how does he pretend to be a ghost and let so many celebrities and powerful people "worship" him?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" >01, flickering is also a talent</h1>
Wang Lin was born in Luxi County, the son of a skilled craftsman, and his mother a housewife with a slight medical skill.
When he was a child, Wang Lin did not like to go to school, and his academic performance was unbearable, and he attended for three consecutive years in the first grade of primary school alone.
But he was good at talking about the mountains, and many of his classmates were fooled by him into skipping school, and the whole class was also miasma because of his smoke.
The school couldn't bear it and gave him an ultimatum, but Wang Lin left the school early and fired the school's "squid".
After leaving the school, Wang Lin was not idle, he often lurked on the side of the road, taking advantage of people's lack of attention, stealing cabbage from transport trucks.
Or take advantage of the bargaining gap of the vendors and take a few eggs.
Relying on these tricks, Wang Lin lived a life of "no worries about food and clothing".
But this was not what Wang Lin wanted.
By chance, Wang Lin, who had never left Luxi County, seemed to have discovered a "new continent".
In 1960, Luxi County gathered a lot of jugglers who had fled the wilderness from the north, and one of the old artists was particularly good at empty pots.
Wang Lin, who often wandered the streets, was amazed after witnessing the old man's stunts, and immediately invited the old man to his home for a warm hospitality.
I have to say that Wang Lin does have a talent for magic, and in less than half a month, he has learned the old man's craft.
After that, Wang Lin's friends often found that
In that era of lack of clothes and food, Wang Lin could conjure up some small snacks and tobacco and alcohol from time to time.
Friends regard these as juggling, but Wang Lin has his own set of mysterious words.
He claimed to have been abandoned since he was a child, and because of his strange roots, he was adopted by the old road of Mount Emei at the age of 7, and returned from school after 6 years, and since then he can make something out of nothing and come and go freely.
In 1965, Wang Lin and a group of young people went to the Yifeng County Reclamation Farm and became Zhiqing.
In the reclamation farm, Wang Lin often worked in the middle of the night and slept during the day, just to grab an easy job.
When he was working, he shouted the loudest and the least force,
These stealing and slippery skills, in that era of simple folk customs, were only defined as not being diligent enough.
In the album he compiled and printed, Wang Lin described this experience as divine.
He claimed to have sprinkled beans into a soldier and finished his farm work in the dark of night;
On rainy days, agricultural tools were transferred out of thin air;
The pig in the reclamation farm dies, and he casts a spell to bring it back to life.
Zhiqing's salary was very low, and there was no oil and water for the meal, but the people around him found that Wang Lin could conjure up a bunch of chicken, duck and fish meat to enjoy alone.
And whenever he had eaten and drunk enough, the next farm always heard the news of the theft of the items.
At the same time, the salesman of the reclamation shop often finds that when sorting out the bills, he is missing a few dollars.
She suspected that Wang Lin had done it, so she secretly made a mark on the money that Wang Lin handed over.
After a few days, Wang Lin took the money that had been marked again to buy wine.
At this time, Wang Lin, the image left to the world, was just a slippery tongue, good at stealing chickens and dogs.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" >02, mysterious prisoners in prison</h1>
There are many opportunities to change your destiny, some are supported by nobles, some are caused by luck, and some are rewarded by god.
Wang Lin's turning point was unprecedented.
During the reclamation farm, Wang Lin abducted a married woman with a three-inch tongue.
He was subsequently convicted of hooliganism and sent to a labor camp.
There are classes everywhere, and in the labor camp, Wang Lin bears the identity of a "hooligan", and is naturally despised by everyone.
This made Wang Lin, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, live like a year.
In 1979, a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam began, and rumors spread in labor camps that "all prisoners will be killed."
The restless Wang Lin often revealed some "miracles", not only attracting two prisoners,
He even gained the trust of a discipline in the name of taking in apprentices.
He gave the discipline a piece of rune paper, instructed him to turn off the power grid, unload the window, and walk 180 steps with his eyes closed, so that he could fill the division.
By the time the discipline returned, there was no trace of Wang Lin in the room.
Wang Lin's escape skills were far less powerful than his mouth, and he was arrested in less than two months, sentenced to three years, and transferred to Hongcheng Prison in Jiangxi.
Wang Lin, who had just entered prison, did not like to talk, and was often beaten to the point of blue nose and swollen face because of his open mouth.
But he was not angry, still cautious,
This caution earned the approval of the discipline, who was assigned to work as a hygienist and sometimes purchased daily necessities for prisoners.
Chinese New Year's Eve Night in 1985, it was the time when the lights of wanjia were lit.
The prisoners of Hongcheng Prison guarded the iron windows, thinking of their distant relatives, and the whole prison was filled with repressed emotions.
At this time, Wang Lin untimely proposed that he invite everyone to eat a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve meal.
Looking at the green vegetable steamed bun in front of them, many people scoffed, and even some people rolled up their sleeves and prepared to let Wang Lin "full" a meal.
Wang Lin was not moved, he placed all the dishes and chopsticks on the table, spread a sheet on it, and then sat down on the bed, with words in his mouth.
But in a quarter of an hour, Wang Lin lifted the sheets, and a lot of chicken, duck, and fish meat appeared underneath.
The whole process, without any flaws, this magical scene, let the prisoners marvel.
Overnight, Wang Lin became the most respected "master" in prison.
Subsequently, Wang Lin used a spell to conjure up a cold medicine for the prisoners out of thin air.
Even across the wall, he cured the disciplining wife.
In order to thank Wang Lin, the discipline transferred Wang Lin to a relaxed post.
Many people are curious, the prison is surrounded by a high-wall power grid, how did Wang Lin get the fish and meat medicine?
Some people firmly believe in Wang Lin's spells, while others believe that this is related to his identity as a purchaser.
In any case, Wang Lin's reputation gradually spread in prison, even to Beijing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="203" >03, officially certified "qigong master"</h1>
In 1992, accompanied by an official from the Jiangxi Sports Commission, Wang Lin arrived in Beijing to be tested by a human science team.
In the test room, four high-power cameras were installed, while professional magicians were arranged, disguised as staff to observe.
Someone reminded Wang Lin beforehand that it was too late to admit that it was magic, and if he failed, he would deceive the country, but Wang Lin insisted on performing.
To everyone's surprise, the performance was a great success,
This made her the first Qigong practitioner to pass the Human Science Identification Group, numbered 001.
At this time in China, there were many qigong masters who were more famous than Wang Lin.
Among them, there is Yan Xin, who claims to be willing to extinguish the fire,
Tian Ruisheng, who blew tap water into a miracle medicine,
But they all refused to take the test, or after the test failed, defended themselves as being disturbed.
As the first registered qigong master in the country, Wang Lin has always been the image of Chia Tai Guangming.
Even wearing only a trouser to perform, as a way to prove the authenticity of the spell.
With one successful performance after another, his reputation grew bigger and bigger, many people came to him, and Wang Lin did not hesitate to cast spells.
It is rumored that he has cured the breast lump of the lover of the county magistrate of Yifeng County, Jiangxi Province, and even the stubborn diseases of the former president of Indonesia and his family.
More and more patients are cured, and naturally some people return the favor.
His car also changed from an old motorcycle to a Hummer and Rolls-Royce,
In the five-storey detached villa, the garden rockery is readily available, and the "royal palace" outside the gate is impressive.
Wang Lin's ability to amass amazing wealth is not unrelated to his ability to flicker,
His miracles may be fake, but the master's connections are real.
In frequent contact with officials of all sizes, he gradually became a "cornucopia" of official and business information.
Such as promotions, project projects, policy indicators and many other high-gold "gossip" gathered here to the "master", naturally there are many people flocking to it.
The "Royal Palace" has also become a "private clubhouse" for business giants and celebrities, and a high-end platform for various social resources to communicate with each other.
This alone is attractive enough,
And those tricks of becoming snakes are just the reason for mutual friendship, who will think about the true and false?
Wang Lin's "career" at this time was booming, and at an opening meeting, nearly 10,000 celebrities from all walks of life came.
When the limelight was in full swing, Wang Lin chose to draw a clear line with the qigong master.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="218" >04, "Qigong master" with prophecy ability</h1>
In 1993, qigong master Wang Lin mysteriously disappeared, and some people rumored that he went to Shenzhen, and some people said that he went to Beijing.
But in any case, two years later, Wang Lin returned to his hometown.
At this time, he not only carried the title of qigong master, but also was called a Hong Kong businessman.
At this time, the national qigong boom is more popular than before,
"Qigong master" Zhang Hongbao, under the guise of running a school, wantonly cut leeks.
Tian Ruisheng constantly ascended to the podium to publicize his "xianggong",
Zhang Baosheng is still doing debriefing performances everywhere.
But Wang Lin faintly sniffed out a trace of something wrong,
He believes that the current atmosphere in the Qigong world is too bad, some people have low eyes, low skills, and no small tone.
Wang Lin told reporters: "We should be down-to-earth and do something for the country and the people."
What is intriguing is that four years later, the domestic Qigong community was cleaned up and rectified.
Some of the masters who had once been in the sky fled, some went to prison, and Wang Lin was still at ease and happy.
This makes people have to admire Wang Lin's sensitivity to the current situation.
But at the same time, it's also confusing.
Throwing away the large sum of money at his fingertips, and shaking off the status of the master of Fengyuan left and right, what made him go away alone.
There is a theory that in 1993, when Wang Lin went to Beijing to perform, the guards snatched the snake out of his pants.
Wang Lin, who felt that it was difficult to explain and was even more afraid of bearing the consequences, had to leave hong Kong.
There is also a saying that Wang Lin was characterized as a cult.
In desperation, he had to run away.
No matter how others explain it, Wang Lin still wanders among officials and businessmen after his return.
Only after experiencing the "Qigong Dynasty" behind the curtain, Wang Lin was deliberately low-key and introverted,
He often reclusively refused to be interviewed and invited by the media.
But in the celebrities who come to visit, he does not refuse to come, and he will perform hard,
For people who believe in themselves, he often makes some small jokes during the performance, and even coils the snake on others to create a cheerful atmosphere.
And for those serious visitors, he is always cautious.
It is precisely by virtue of this ability to detect words and see colors that Wang Lin has managed a huge network of relationships.
Talk about the project to find him, climb the magnates have to find him, treat the sick and save people also have to find him, it seems that only others ask for his share,
However, some people suddenly found that Wang Lin, who had always been arrogant, had instead begun to "ask for help".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="240" >05, the cost of whitewashing cost more than 10 million</h1>
In 1995, Wang Lin began to do public welfare activities.
At this time, he will deliberately come to the place where he once went to the countryside and visit the poor and ask questions from house to house.
Everywhere he went, surrounded by a group of people, he would come to the homes of local special hardship families to donate medicines, food, and clothes.
Before leaving, the donation voucher will be kept deliberately.
Then, he would take a dozen relief trucks and drive to the next location.
Personally visited the local civil affairs bureau and welfare institute, and asked with a smile whether relief was needed.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, in the sparsely populated county town, the royal palace is particularly prosperous and lively.
At this time, Wang Lin would open the door and sit between the hallways, smiling and watching the people who came to pay homage to the New Year.
This is the new rule of the royal palace, as long as it is a visitor, you will receive a big red envelope.
And those young intellectuals who went to the countryside with him were even more taken extra care of.
In the 1990s, when they were not yet rich, mobile phones were still rare, but Wang Lin generously gave each person a mobile phone.
Whenever he has free time, he will also summon these poor friends to travel all over the country, eat and stay, and return with gifts.
However, this generosity did not win everyone's approval.
After everyone has played hard, he will knock on the door in the middle of the night, throw a stack of banknotes on the table, and without saying a word, turn his head and leave.
Some people will feel that this is a kind of charity, some people think that this is to "block the mouth of others", but who will not be able to live with money?
For more than ten consecutive years, Wang Lin has donated more than 10 million yuan, which has won him some reputation.
Even those who think that he is "whitewashed" and "packaged" will not say a word when they mention him.
But who could have imagined that the image that Wang Lin had painstakingly managed for many years was shattered in an instant after one incident, which was the Zou Yong case.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="251" >06, from father and son to enemies</h1>
Zou Yong was Wang Lin's closed disciple, and the two were close friends and teachers, but Wang Lin was pushed into the abyss by Zou Yong.
Zou Yong's mother died early, and his stepmother often abused him, while his cowardly father would remain silent even if he saw it.
Zou Yong, who was full of despair, had to go out to work to earn money, and he was only thirteen years old at that time.
After more than ten years of wandering, Zou Yong gradually became a successful businessman on the rich side from a small worker on the construction site.
At an ordinary banquet, Zou Yong met Wang Lin, who was in the limelight.
Coveting the connections behind him, Zou Yong began to deliberately approach Wang Lin and showed great interest in Wang Lin's spells.
The two often talk about wine, and Wang Lin will always hint at his Beijing network during the banquet.
When the interest arrives, it will also improvise a few segments.
Zou Yong is even more sincere, and immediately sent a Rolls-Royce worth millions,
Wang Lin was also not polite, constantly asking for luxury cars, Zou Yong complied one by one, and the two got closer and closer.
In 2009, the two formally established a master-apprentice relationship, wang Lin Lion opened his mouth, asked for three million to pay the master, and then gave a "scripture" to Zou Yong.
Afterwards, it turned out that the value of this sutra was only 10 yuan, and it could be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys of China.
Someone reminded Zou Yong not to be deceived, but Zou Yong still went his own way.
Because what Zou Yong values is the resources behind Wang Lin.
Through Wang Lin's maneuvering, Zou Yong got to know some resources and operated four transportation lines.
"Once these four transportation lines are up and running, I am the richest man in Pingxiang," Zou Yong said.
Subsequently, Zou Yong invested hundreds of millions of yuan, took all his wealth, and plunged into it.
However, the sky did not go according to people's wishes, Zou Yong had just built the transportation line, and the senior officials were shuanggui, and the capital chain of Zou Yong Company was immediately broken.
At this time, Wang Lin pestered Zou Yong to ask for the purchase price of Shenzhen.
Zou Yong, who was at the trough of his career, wanted to get angrier and angrier, and then in the name of economic fraud, he sued Wang Lin in court.
He also organized many people to surround Wang Lin and ask for the fee for worshiping the teacher.
With the passage of time, the contradictions between the two have escalated, various mutual bites, and the amount of disputes between the two sides has reached 40 million yuan.
The pair, who had once loved father and son, even threatened to "hack each other to death" because of their interests.
In 2015, Zou Yong was crushed to pieces, and his death was unbearable, and Wang Lin was arrested as the first suspect.
A year and a half later, he suddenly fell ill during the trial and came to an end in 2017 after ineffective rescue.
Wang Lin's legend has finally come to an end, but there is still a lot to think about.
After Wang Lin's death, his Meiling villa was also demolished, which is just one of his several properties.
He had three Humvees, a Phantom Rolls-Royce, and a Porsche, all worth tens of millions, more than enough to assemble a convoy.
What does a person with no academic qualifications and a criminal record rely on to earn such a large family business?
It is not so much his exquisite attitude and difficult magic to crack, but rather the old society at that time.
Today, wealth has become the standard by which everything is measured.
Many people want to be able to become famous overnight, step by step,
And the market's risk is so secretive that it adds an elusive sense of insecurity to this hope.
This kind of insecurity cannot be relieved in the sun, so we have to find another side door and left road,
Wang Lin was able to find the soil for his own survival, which precisely reflected the pathology of the society at that time.
And the demise of Wang Lin also proves that our society still has the ability to purify itself.
Today, through the efforts of the state, today's China is no longer what it used to be, and after a series of crackdowns on corrupt officials, the elimination of criminal syndicates and evil forces, coupled with the improvement of people's cognition, it is impossible for a second "Wang Lin" to emerge.
