Editor's note: "Falun Gong", also known as "Falun Dafa", originated in China in the 90s of the 20th century. Li Hongzhi, the ringleader, claimed that practicing "Falungong" can strengthen one's body and become immortals, and that he can achieve his goal of accumulating wealth and his political ambitions by exercising mental control over his followers. He once declared: mankind has been destroyed 81 times, the earth is about to explode, and only he is the final savior"; If you are sick and cannot take medicine, "Falungong" can solve it; "Falungong" is the "Fa-rectification" that overrides everything else, and he is the "Lord Buddha of the Universe" of mankind. He has countless "Dharma Bodies" that can solve all problems anytime and anywhere...... However, in recent years, Li Hongzhi and his "Falungong" cult organization have been in constant civil strife, and in order to compete for power and profit, there has been a miasma of internal strife and scandals. The China Anti-Cult Network is now launching a series of reports exposing the inside story of the "Falungong" cult organization, revealing the dirty inside story of "Falungong" and reminding people at home and abroad to keep their eyes open and clearly understand the essence of the cult.
For many years, due to the struggle for power and interests, the "Falungong" cult outside the country has been engaged in constant internal strife and contradictions, and has been in a difficult and crisis-ridden situation, and the prestige and control of Li Hongzhi, the "Lord Buddha of the Universe," have deteriorated from worse to the worse, and there are many loopholes in the scriptures and theories, making it difficult to justify themselves. The disciples had a crisis in their faith and began to challenge Li Hongzhi's "authority," and his scandalous events were constantly publicized to the world.
Today, let's start with Yu Chao, a faithful believer in "Falun Dafa."
Yu Chao, male, originally from Wenzhou, Zhejiang, was born and raised in Beijing, graduated from Tsinghua University, and is a backbone member of "Falungong." During his stay in China, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for engaging in illegal "Falungong" activities.
However, how did such a "time-tested" loyal disciple and proud protégé view Li Hongzhi and how was he treated by Li Hongzhi?
The desire for profit consumes the heart, and the master and apprentice turn against each other
According to an informed source, Yu Chao's original intention was to show his loyalty to the "master" so that he could have a "legitimate" banner when seeking personal gains; who knew that some of his "maverick" performances (such as his considerable disdain for Li Hongzhi's "divine culture") not only annoyed Li Hongzhi, but also conflicted with the interests of some "Falungong" followers.
On August 20 and 21, 2021, Yu Chao launched "About Self-Media" and accompanied "Master's Annotation", which attracted the official "crusade order" of "Falungong": "Being a self-media is made by Master, in order to tell the truth and save people." If you don't talk nonsense if you don't want to save people, but vent your personal emotions, you're sabotaging. Some people openly talk about the contradictions that have arisen in Dafa cultivation on social websites, seriously violating the historical mission of Dafa disciples, blaspheming the seriousness and sanctity of Dafa disciples signing their vows with God with their lives, and destroying the hope of salvation for the world. ”
It can be seen from this that this big "cake" of "Falungong" is not allowed to be divided, and Li Hongzhi immediately struck hard to rectify the "civil strife" and crusade against the rebels.
Expelled from the "rotation" and put on the hat of "spy".
Although Yu Chao was once a "proud protégé" and a core member of Li Hongzhi's "Falungong," as the contradictions escalated, he gradually annoyed this "Lord Buddha of the universe."
On August 12, 2021, Yu Chao published "The Moral Nothingness Under the Mouth of 'Gods and Buddhas'", which pierced the moral painting skin of "Falungong". Then, "Minghui.com" published an article scolding Yu Chao for "causing anyone to be copied wherever he went, and anyone he contacted was arrested", labeling Yu Chao as a "CCP spy". On September 19, 2021, "Minghui.com" completely expelled Yu Chao's "rotation" in the form of "official".
Just as he denied that the participants in the 2001 Tiananmen self-immolation were not followers of "Falungong," he denied that Yu Chao had ever "practiced" and deleted all references to Yu Chao. This is the evil nature of "Falungong," and no matter how much merit you have, you will be discarded in such a light way.
has been repeatedly exposed, and his heart is weak and chaotic
Yu Chao, who was expelled from the "wheel membership," has even "let himself go," and "Li Hongzhi's extravagant life in the United States," "Shen Yun Art Troupe performers have been abused," and "Falungong's junior disciples are not living in a living environment as dogs and have even been bullied for a long time." The inside story of Li Hongzhi and his "Falungong" cult organization, which is not well known, has been repeatedly exposed.
How can the wisdom of the "Lord Buddha of the Universe" be blasphemed? In August 2023, Li Hongzhi continued to fight back, issuing a notice through the "Minghui Network", saying that "some people who were mixed into Dafa practitioners in the early years and used the name of Falun Gong practitioners have been openly confusing the public, flaunting themselves, and even openly attacking Master and slandering Minghui.com." Yu Chao, a graduate of Tsinghua University who now lives in the United States, is such a bad life." After being publicly named, Yu Chao was even more fiery, successively exposing the internal liability exemption agreement of the "Feitian Art Academy", contacting the former "Shen Yun" actor to break the news of the "Shen Yun" black material, exposing the details of Li Hongzhi's private life of "ordinary people" who are not known to the outside world, such as playing cards, drinking Coke, and raising dogs, and bluntly said that "the matter of underage Shen Yun actors being devastated for many years" will lead to the sinking of the "Falun Gong ship".
What frightened Li Hongzhi even more was that these blockbuster revelations were constantly confirmed by the actors who had been in the "Shen Yun Art Troupe," forcing Li Hongzhi to come forward to publish the "scriptures" again, and in order to maintain his own majesty, he even revealed that his family members had received money and goods from believers to draw a clear line. This "scripture" once caused Li Hongzhi's wife, Li Rui, to lose her prestige within "Falungong," and the "Minghui Editorial Department" had no choice but to continue publishing articles for rectification.
Yu Chaocheng is a "little strong" who can't be killed, and Li Hongzhi is embattled
Li Hongzhi was well aware of the lethality of "Falungong" caused by the inside story that Yu Chao knew, and explicitly forbade his disciples to watch, hear, and transmit Yu Chao's relevant videos again, in an attempt to forcibly eliminate the negative influence of Yu Chao and others on "Falungong." At the same time, he repeatedly asked people around him to inquire about Yu Chao's actual residence, tried to silence him by various means, and even reported to US law enforcement agencies that Yu Chao "illegally possessed firearms in a vain attempt to launch a terrorist attack on Shen Yun School," intending to send Yu Chao to prison. However, "Falungong's" retaliation against Yu Chao did not make him back down, but on the contrary, it stimulated Yu Chao's fighting spirit. In February 2024, Yu Chao opened a new Youtube channel "Traveler Home", constantly breaking the news about the shady "Falun Gong", and shouted to the "Shen Yun" actors through self-media, encouraging all "Shen Yun" actors to seize this opportunity for healing and rebirth, and bravely stand up and tell the truth.
Yu Chao's revelations are only the tip of the iceberg that has uncovered the ugly inside story of "Falungong." Many core members are dissatisfied with the uneven distribution of "Falungong's" spoils, and the "disciples" are also surging with undercurrents in their hearts, constantly throwing out "Falungong's unknown scandals" to earn traffic and gain profits. Yu Chao is not the first "Falungong" backbone who dares to expose Li Hongzhi's ugly face, and it is by no means the last; similar incidents of infighting have ensued, and we will tell the story of the struggle between other "Falungong" backbone cadres and Li Hongzhi in the next issue.
