In the 890s of the 20th century, a large number of qigong masters with special functions suddenly emerged in China. However, these so-called masters are almost all charlatans who are accustomed to cheating money. Among these liars, there was a master who managed to be on par with Fan Bingbing, and even made Li Bingbing kneel down and call him godfather. He also had Jack Ma visit him in person, and he was highly respected.
What is even more surprising is that more than a dozen actresses took the initiative to strip for him. He is Wang Lin, a popular qigong liar back then. Today, let's review how this scammer managed to defraud so many people. Let's start with Wang Lin's childhood. In 1963, Wang Lin was born in Luxi, Jiangxi.
Jiangxi has been a place with a strong Taoist culture since ancient times, such as the Taoist capital, the longest-standing Zhang Tianshi Mansion, and the Tianshi Mansion Dragon and Tiger Mountain are all in Jiangxi. From Ge Xuan, who rose in the day at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to Liu Yuanran, the Taoist leader in the early Ming Dynasty, they were all from Jiangxi. Therefore, Jiangxi has a strong religious color, and various myths and legends about Taoist priests abound.
Even after the founding of New China, compulsory education was popularized, in some remote villages, people still heard stories of Taoist priests catching ghosts from time to time. Of course, there are no ghosts in this world, only liars pretending to be ghosts. And Wang Lin's path of deception does not originate from Chinese gods and monsters, but magic.
When Wang Lin was a child, circus performances were popular in his hometown for a while. The circus's peculiar and exciting animal performances arouse the curiosity of the locals, especially the magic show, which is breathtaking and regarded as a miracle.
And Wang Lin is also a curious child, he often sneaks behind the scenes of the circus, hides behind boxes, or pretends to be a clown to observe the preparation of the actors behind the stage. In the process, Wang Lin caught the attention of magicians in the circus. The magician found that Wang Lin, a clever child, was very suitable for learning magic, so he decided to take him as an apprentice.
Wang Lin quickly learned many magic tricks, and he was gifted and had amazing learning abilities. Wang Lin not only mastered basic magic skills, but also delved into psychology and human behavior, which allowed him to better understand the psychology and needs of his audience. He is adept at harnessing people's curiosity and pursuit of the paranormal to create an incredible series of performances.
Wang Lin's magic show quickly became popular in Jiangxi and throughout China. His performances are full of mysterious and incredible elements that plunge the audience into an unexplained confusion. People were fascinated by his superpowers and wanted to see him perform. However, Wang Lin is not satisfied with performing magic tricks, he longs for greater success and more wealth.
So, he began to use his magic skills to perform some tricks to deceive the audience of money. He exploits people's desire to find supernatural experiences to create seemingly magical phenomena that people believe to be true. Wang Lin's tricks gradually escalated, and he began to play a qigong master. He claimed that he could treat various diseases through qigong, and even make people soar to immortal status.
His qigong performances have attracted more and more people, including celebrities, rich people and government officials. Wang Lin used people's belief in qigong to convince them that only he could possess this magical ability. He took advantage of the opportunity to accumulate wealth and defrauded a large amount of money and property. His fame quickly spread throughout the country and he became a legend in the qigong world.
However, Wang Lin's deception could not deceive everyone after all. When some victims found out that they had been deceived, they began to expose Wang Lin's true face. The media also began to investigate him, revealing his deception and fraud. In the end, Wang Lin's scam was completely exposed. He was exposed in the media and became the object of everyone's contempt.
His magic tricks and tricks were revealed, and his reputation was lost. Wang Lin's story is that of a typical scammer who exploits people's curiosity and desire for supernatural powers to defraud them of their money. However, he is also a genius in the world of magic, and his acting skills and creativity are breathtaking.
His story is also a reflection on human nature, where people are often easily deluded by false magical powers and pursue unrealizable fantasies. From Wang Lin's story, we can see a desire for mysterious things and supernatural powers. People tend to be attracted to superficial magical phenomena, but often lack deep thinking and questioning of the truth.
This also reminds us to maintain a rational thinking and critical spirit of things, and not to easily believe in seemingly magical things. Wang Lin's story is also a warning to be wary of scammers' tricks. In the face of similar deception, we should remain calm and rational and not blindly pursue the so-called supernatural powers.
At the same time, society should also strengthen the crackdown on scammers and frauds to protect people's property safety and legitimate rights and interests. Wang Lin's life was full of deception and deception, and his reputation was forever polluted. However, he was also a man of creativity and artistic talent.
His story reminds us that scammers need to be punished, but we should also maintain some appreciation and respect for their talents. If it continues to develop, Wang Lin may be able to perform several magic shows for the people of the whole country on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala like Liu Qian in the future, bringing joy to everyone. Unfortunately, however, the child did not choose to follow the right path.
After the circus's performance in Luxi County, a magician asked Wang Lin if he would like to go with him. However, Wang Lin turned down the opportunity because he already had other plans. After leaving the circus, Wang Lin began to use his magic skills to earn money, and soon became a famous magician in his hometown.
In reality, however, for most people at the time, magic was just a trick-and-trick show, and while it sounded lofty, it didn't make a successful career. In this regard, Wang Lin felt unwilling, his mind was very active, and he decided to package himself well. So, how does he package himself? The answer is clearly pretending to be a ghost. From magician to qigong master.
Due to limited information, we are now unable to verify how Wang Lin packaged himself from a magician to a qigong master, a worldly master. As for Wang Lin's own self-introduction, it is even more absurd. According to Wang, his skill stemmed from a chance encounter when he was seven years old.
At that time, Wang Lin, who was playing in the village, suddenly met a Taoist priest who was dressed sloppily but had a good appearance and fairy wind and bones. He felt a telepathy, stepped forward, the Taoist priest looked at him, did not say anything, just used his finger to write a few lines of strange words on the cardboard on the side of the road, and then floated away without leaving a trace.
Then, out of curiosity, Wang Lin walked to the stone slab, stared at the words that looked like ghost talismans, stared for a long time, and suddenly realized. He seemed to understand something, trotted all the way, found the Taoist priest, and then the plot became old-fashioned.
The Taoist priest saw that Wang Lin had a huigen and decided to take him as an apprentice, so Wang Lin learned the Taoist from the teacher and followed the Taoist priest, and it is said that they went to Mount Emei to retreat and cultivate for five whole years. This statement sounds very ridiculous. In the 70s of the 20th century, a seven-year-old child followed a Taoist priest who did not look rich to run from Jiangxi to Sichuan, which did sound a little strange.
After all, in that era of extremely backward transportation conditions, it was difficult for Wang Lin's parents to agree to let him follow a stranger so far. Normal thinking might think that this Taoist priest is a personal trafficker. But let's get back to business. According to Wang Lin himself, he practiced qigong assiduously in Mount Emei for five years, and finally mastered the internal strength, which can crush stones with one palm or cut wood from a distance.
This story can't help but be reminiscent of Li Dazui's worship passage in the TV series "The Legend of Wulin", which is quite similar. In 1976, Wang Lin bid farewell to his master and returned to his hometown, and then went to prison. It's funny about the reason for going to jail. After returning to his hometown, the so-called qigong master had to live by stealing because he was poor and helpless, and was arrested.
However, even in prison, the master showed detached calmness, not only performing qigong to his fellow inmates, obtaining some mysteries, but also successfully performing a prison escape. However, the master's skills seemed limited, and within a few days he was recaptured by the police, who honestly spent three years in prison. So, how did Wang Lin become a master after he was released from prison?
Times have made liars. The development of everything is inseparable from the environmental context. The reason why Wang Lin was able to quickly become popular with the name of Qigong master is because in the 80s of the 20th century, with the reform and opening up and the introduction of Western ideas, as well as the restoration of feudalism, a large number of religious liars and qigong liars emerged in Chinese society.
Taking the qigong craze as an example, it is said that at its peak, more than 60 million people across the country began to learn qigong. This provides a unique soil for scammers like Wang Lin. After being released from prison, Wang Lin used the magic skills he had learned before to make a name for himself a qigong master, cheating everywhere, and quickly rose to become a tycoon in the qigong world through the legendary stories he had weaved.
According to Wang Lin's legend, he claims to have the special function of changing life and prolonging life, and invincible internal strength. However, this lie is easy to debunk, after all, who would believe a person who claims to be invincible? Some even wanted to test his abilities with a gun. However, what is surprising is that some people believe him, especially the bigwigs of high society.
Through several so-called successful transfers, Wang Lin quickly became a high-profile master in the rich circle, received countless people's pursuit, and made a lot of money. In addition to making money, Wang Lin, as a typical liar and god stick, certainly does not forget to deceive. In order to legally deceive female believers, Wang Lin followed the so-called enlightenment ceremony of the family and formulated a set of enlightenment rules for himself.
The specific operation is as follows: the actress lies on the bed after stripping naked, while Wang Lin burns incense in front of the bed and recite mantras, and draws charms on the woman. It is said that doing so will allow them to successfully transshipment. As for what exactly will happen, we don't know.
It is said that the cost of each lighting ceremony starts at least 300,000 yuan! You know, that's 300,000 in the 90s! Relying on this means, Wang Lin fully admired the bodies of Zhao Wei, Li Bingbing and other beauties. However, it is not clear whether successful transshipment will actually be achieved. In short, Wang Lin lived a rich life of drunken gold through a series of tricks.
Before his arrest, in Beijing alone, he owned a ten-acre mansion with ornate decorations and many valuable antique calligraphy and paintings, with a net worth of more than 100 million. However, scammers are liars after all, and as people's fanatical pursuit of qigong subsides, scammers like Wang Lin also ushered in their end. He was eventually jailed.
In fact, Wang Lin understood from the beginning that his tricks were deceptive. Therefore, after becoming famous, he obtained a Hong Kong residence permit for himself through connections, preparing for his escape. Wang Lin, a clever and witty liar, his story is not only full of twists and turns, but also reveals the weaknesses of human nature and the problems of society.
In the 90s of last century, cult superstition was severely cracked down on by the state in China, but Wang Lin had planned it long ago, and before the state acted, he chose to flee the mainland and found Hong Kong, a paradise of refuge. This action, which allowed him to successfully avoid a catastrophe, seemed to prove his ingenuity.
However, when the domestic situation eased, Wang Lin returned to the mainland again, intending to make more money. However, his tricks are not clever, and he only relies on false methods to deceive people. Their targets are mainly corrupt officials who always hope to evade state sanctions by any means.
Those who spend a lot of money hoping for good luck in the temple are just servants of these corrupt officials. However, Wang Lin was eventually exposed. In 2014, Shenzhen police arrested Wang Lin on suspicion of huge fraud and homicide and handed him over to a people's court in Jiangxi for trial.
In 2017, the con man died of illness in prison, ending his ridiculous life. Compared with other scammers, Wang Lin does not have too clever tricks, but they can still continue to find fooled people. The reason for this is, in the final analysis, people's greed. It is precisely because of the lust for profit that these scammers can succeed again and again.
They knew that people were hungry for good luck and wealth, so they used this as a hook to constantly trick them into falling for it. Wang Lin's story makes us reflect that greed is a weakness of human beings and a weapon for scammers. Only by being vigilant ourselves can we stay away from these scams. At the same time, society should also strengthen the crackdown on scammers to purify the social atmosphere and keep people away from the trap of deception and superstition.
