Chapter 20 3. The witch doctor, the ghost who kills life

Su Yulan, a young woman from Ma'an Township, Huitong County, Hunan Province, suffered from intermittent mental illness for many years.Her mother heard that Wang Zemin, a local train station worker in Jiangshi, could cure the disease, so she invited Wang to her home.After dancing and dancing, Wang asked someone to boil the water in the cauldron containing the medicine, set up a wooden frame on the pot, and ordered the patient's family to take off the patient's clothes, tie up his hands and feet, lift the wooden frame, and return to the hospital. Cover the patient with two layers of quilts, which is said to be "steam therapy".Soon, he heard the patient screaming desperately. Seeing this, Wang said: "The condition has improved, so I have to persevere." After steaming the medicine for 40 minutes, Wang Cai and the patient's family members carried the "steamed food" to the bed, opened the quilt and took a look. , Su Yulan was covered in blisters and had been steamed to death.After the incident, Wang Zemin was arrested by the public security organs.

This was a tragedy reported by the "Hunan Daily" five years ago. Who would have thought that a few years later, this scene would repeat itself in Hunan.Mao, a farmer in Liangshan County, Shandong Province, was visiting relatives in Yueyang City, Hunan Province. Because he suffered from rheumatism, he was introduced to Luo Shiguo, a quack doctor.Luo is a native of Kunshan Township, Yueyang County. He knows how to use fists and kicks. Apart from treating some bruises, he doesn't know anything about other diseases, and he doesn't have a license to practice medicine.After receiving several massages from Luo Shiguo, Mao believed that his condition had improved, so he believed in Luo Shiguo's "superior medical skills".When Luo Shiguo offered to give him "steam therapy" to cure his rheumatism, he agreed.

That afternoon, when Mao came to Luo's house, he saw Luo Shiguo boiling a large pot of Chinese herbal medicine. When the water boiled, Luo Shiguo put a wooden sieve on the pot and asked someone to lift Mao up, who had stripped naked. Then cover it tightly with a quilt.The fire burned hotter and hotter, and the water boiled hotter and hotter. Mao's face turned from red to sallow, and finally turned blue and purple. After 35 minutes, he was moaning and screaming to come down.After Mao came down, he couldn't control his hands and feet, and his whole body was like chaff, with blisters everywhere.Seeing this scene, people hurriedly sent Mao to the hospital for emergency treatment, and died on the way before reaching the hospital...

The horrific tragedy warns people that the witch doctor who has disappeared for decades has revived again! Superstition breeds the "plague god", and the desire for profit indulges the witch doctor.In places where witch doctor activities are rampant, many people's health is delayed and many people's lives are killed.Witch doctors wandering around, like crazy ghosts, pretending to be ghosts, directing a series of heartbreaking human tragedies... According to Zhang Dakui and Duan Bo's report in the 7th issue of "Kangyuan" magazine in 1997, in the spring of 1987, Xie Zhenggang and his wife from Xinyang County Liquor Company in Henan Province received a daughter.No one expected that the well-behaved daughter Congcong suffered from a rare "cerebellar central atrophy", commonly known as "cerebral palsy".The young parents sought medical treatment everywhere. Although the disease was not cured, under their careful care, by 1993, the 6-year-old Xie Congcong was finally able to walk unsteadily, and he could also use some simple words to speak. Express meaning.

It was at this time that Xie Zhenggang and his wife met Yang Fengming, a brother and sister who called themselves "Chinese ergonomic scientists".The two "Qigong masters" said that using their Yang's ancestral Qigong would definitely cure Congcong's illness. On January 2, 1994, Yang Fengming and his younger sister Yang Ruizhen came to Xie Zhenggang's home, claiming: "We have three conditions for Yang's Qigong to treat diseases: first, not to treat people with no virtue; second, not to treat those who are not sincere. Third, anyone who asks us to treat a disease cannot tell others, including your own relatives. I think you meet the first two conditions, but as for the third condition, it is up to you to decide.”

After hearing this, Xie Zhenggang nodded with his wife and said, "Okay, we promise not to let outsiders know." Yang Fengming said, "It's not good in your house. People come and go, which will affect the power. We need to find a quiet place. We live together." Afterwards, calm down and give your daughter a closed treatment.” Seeing that Xie Zhenggang and his wife were puzzled, he explained: “The closed treatment means that during the time we are treating Congcong, Congcong cannot meet with anyone, including the two of you, because She needs to live in a room alone and cultivate a sterile area. It will take half a year at most, and a year at the longest, and I will give you a healthy and lively child." Xie's wife heard her, and said: "As long as I can cure Cong Cong I'm sick, it's fine if I don't see you for three years."

The next day, Xie Zhenggang rented two bungalows in downtown Xinyang, one for Eryang and the other for Congcong, and purchased the necessary daily necessities, and hired A nanny is in charge of cooking and washing clothes. On January 6, 1994, Xie Zhenggang and his wife sent the newly dressed Xiao Congcong to Eryang's rented residence.Not long after, the good news came one after another: —— Congcong's poisonous gas was partly discharged. —— Cong Cong's condition has improved. ——Congcong can eat and drink better than before... Along with the good news, Yang Fengming and his sister began to ask Xie Zhenggang and his wife for money, fruit and cigarettes without interruption.

In order to cure their daughter's illness, Xie Zhenggang and his wife were very sincere and followed the instructions of the two "Qigong masters".Although they wanted to see their daughter very much, under the strict requirements of the "Qigong Master", they gave up this most basic wish several times. Year after year passed like this, and it seems that it has been almost four years. The "Qigong Master" has not cured his daughter's illness, and the doubts in Xie Zhenggang's and his wife's minds are getting thicker and thicker. On October 26, 1997, Xie Zhenggang and his wife, who had already spent more than 20,000 yuan for the "Qigong Master" to eat and drink, couldn't bear it any longer. They found Yang Fengming's brother and sister and said that they would not let them treat their daughter anymore, and they wanted to see her immediately. daughter.

Yang Fengming and his sister disagreed. They insisted on treating Congcong's qigong on the grounds that it would affect the reputation of Yang's qigong. , Smart, lively, singing and dancing children to them. But on December 29, the Yang brothers and sisters refused to let them see their daughter with various excuses. Under such circumstances, Xie Zhenggang and his wife pushed the Yang brothers and sisters away and rushed into their daughter's ward.Shaking off the blanket on the bed, there was actually a pillow wrapped inside.When asked where Cong Cong went, the Yang brothers and sisters didn't say a word.Xie Zhenggang hurriedly reported to the public security department. The police officers who arrived in time searched the house of the Yang brothers and sisters for a long time, and finally found Congcong under the bed. However, she had turned into a mummy, a "mummy".

After interrogation by the police officers, it turned out that the so-called "closed therapy" used by the Yang brothers and sisters was that they stood outside the house every day, with their hands stretched opposite each other, turning and gesticulating against the sky for a long time. After smoking a cigarette for a while, he pointed at Xiao Congcong's face and sprayed "Fa Gong".How could a six-year-old child bear such torture? Ten days later, after the brothers and sister Yang Fengming spit out smoke again, Xiao Congcong called out: "Mom, mom!" Then he started to convulse violently, and after 10 minutes, he stopped breathing.

After Congcong's death, Yang Ruizhen wanted to run away, but Yang Fengming didn't take it seriously: "We are gone, who cares about our food and drink?" So they continued to play tricks and deceive Xie Zhenggang and his wife.They were afraid that Congcong's dead body would rot, so they scrubbed it with medicine and put it in a ventilated place to dry. A year later, Xie Congcong's body was air-dried and became a "mummy". On February 11, 1998, the Xinyang County People's Procuratorate arrested the Yang brothers and sisters on suspicion of intentional homicide and fraud.The Yang brothers and sisters' tricks are not very good, and their performance is full of loopholes. However, their clumsy tricks have been able to succeed for four years. Can we only explain it with scams and tragedies?Xie Zhenggang and his wife were not illiterate farmers in the mountains, but they were so gullible in the witch doctor's tricks that they left their daughter unsuspecting to two swindlers. It also revealed that China's current medical market is relatively chaotic, and anyone can practice medicine under the guise of "qigong" and "special functions" to cheat money. If we think that witch doctors are just haunting the countryside to cheat a few small bucks, then we are seriously mistaken.In China, almost every few years there will be a sensational "miracle doctor" in the country. Their supernatural powers are unbelievable to ordinary people-they are supported by high-level leaders, and they are trumpeted by high-level writers. , with high-level experts demonstrating for it... Careful readers should remember that 10 years ago, there was a sensational "miracle doctor" Wang Shuhua in China. She invented a thing worthy of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, that is, "Huangyangcao" for treating cancer.At present, more than 4 million people die of cancer every year all over the world, and there are 6 million new cancer patients every year. ", "The effective rate is as high as 80%." For a while, newspapers and radio stations reported one after another, and many units rushed to join forces with her.Cancer, the catastrophe of mankind, seems to have been kicked away by her!In this way, there were supporters at the front and back, so although Wang Shuhua did not have a medical license, she practiced medicine in Beijing for several years, "treating tens of thousands of cancer cases". Science is not magic, and there is no room for falsehood.The Department of Oncology of Guang'anmen, Beijing and the Academy of Military Medical Sciences of the People's Liberation Army successively tested the "Huangyang Grass" and its therapeutic effect. The results found that the so-called "Huangyang Grass" was just a dandelion-like tree accidentally picked up by Wang Shuhua in 1979. The plant, calling itself Wild Ganoderma lucidum, began to illegally practice medicine under the name of "Wild Ganoderma lucidum" in October 1979. In 1982, "Wild Ganoderma lucidum" was renamed "Huangyangcao".Later, her business expanded, and she didn't even have time to pick these wild Ganoderma lucidum, so she simply chose the most readily available starch and a small amount of peanut vines and sweet potato vines to mass-produce the so-called "Huanyangcao" slices.After 10 years of deception, Wang Shuhua cheated a certain unit into cooperating to produce and sell 4.2 million pieces of "Huangyang Grass" at a high price, making a lot of ill-gotten gains and harming countless unfortunate patients.The 6-year-old daughter of Peng Yuanfang from the Education Bureau of Tai'an City, Shandong Province was diagnosed with a tumor in her abdomen. She was told to eat "Huangyang Grass" for three months, but the results not only had no curative effect, but also delayed the treatment, and the tumor increased significantly.The wife of Liu Cai, Beijing Institute of Service Machinery, suffered from breast cancer, and received radiotherapy in the cancer hospital. The effect was good. Later, he saw an article in the newspaper praising Wang Shuhua’s "Returning Yang Grass", so he stopped radiotherapy and chemotherapy to eat " More than a month later, the breast cancer spread, forming multiple bone metastases throughout the body, and the opportunity for surgery was lost.Liu Cai said sadly: "Wang Shuhua deceived others with her big words and harmed many patients. Why is no one caring?" It's not that no one cares, it's just that it's a little late.A few years later, Wang Shuhua went to jail and received the punishment he deserved. ——This is an advertising signboard for private practice that appeared at the west entrance of Changzi Hutong, Xidan North Street, Beijing a few years ago.In addition to Chinese on the signboard, it is also accompanied by an English comparison.Passers-by were dazzled by seeing it, but those lung cancer patients and their relatives and friends were refreshed when they saw it, and marveled that the savior had come! The owner of the clinic, Liu Yurun, was originally a general attending physician in the tuberculosis department of Beijing Railway General Hospital. He was engaged in the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis, and his business was mediocre.He has never been abroad at all, and the so-called international conference representatives on the signboard are purely non-existent. According to the book "The Red Cross Cannot Be Tilted" by Guo Xueyi, after Liu Yurun retired in 1985, he began to practice medicine on his own.The originally approved scope of practice was X-ray viewing and consultation in "thoracic medicine", and it was not allowed to prescribe prescriptions or sell medicines.Liu Yurun doesn't care about these things, not only prescribing illegally, but selling drugs in large quantities.While putting up the advertising signs, he also sent a large number of false advertising letters to various places, just like an "internationally renowned lung cancer expert". As an expert, Liu Yurun really has a unique trick. He "invented" a set of "LYR therapy combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine" for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer, and sold the so-called "Chinese and Western medicine for cancer treatment" at high prices.Among the medicines he gave to patients, there were colorful western medicine tablets, Chinese patent medicines, honeyed pills, and Chinese herbal medicines.All these medicines, whose names are kept secret, what kind of "elixir" are they?After investigation, the "cancer treatment" western medicine tablets that Liu Yurun sold to patients were all cheap common medicines: the red and yellow capsules were indomethacin, the blue sugar-coated tablets were anti-inflammatory tablets, the yellow tablets were Kebiqing, the red tablets were vitamin K4, and the white tablets were Including lactase, niacin, prednisone, isoniazid, etc., the black pills are waist and kidney pills, and the brown honey pills are ten gray pills... According to the verification by the public security department, in the one year after April 10, 1988, according to the statistics of incompletely collected invoices, Liu Yurun spent 8,515 yuan to buy Chinese and Western medicines from pharmacies and repackaged them under the name of "anti-cancer drugs". , defrauded RMB 283,890 from the patient, and made a huge profit of 275,000.He gave a patient in Guangxi a 30-day dose of medicine, including 30 honeyed pills of Chinese patent medicine and 30 packs of western medicine. The total cost was less than 8 yuan, but Liu received 2,288 yuan out of conscience.No wonder some people said angrily: This is drinking the patient's blood! If the patient is really cured, let him earn more money.Actually?The public security department investigated 22 family members of patients who had used Liu Yurun's medicine in Guangxi, Guangdong, Jilin, Liaoning, Tianjin, Beijing and other places, and learned that 18 people died during and within two months after taking the medicine. In October 1989, Liu Yurun was arrested and imprisoned. Hu Wanlin can be said to be the largest witch doctor in contemporary China. Not only is the famous Ke Yunlu playing the gong to clear the way for him, but he also has the leader of the health bureau and the director of the hospital who should believe in science the most and hate witch doctors the most. At his feet, he watched him put the patients to death one by one. Hu Wanlin, a native of Mianyang, Sichuan, practiced medicine in Taiyi Town, the southern suburb of Xi’an. He claimed to have practiced in the mountains for many years, collected the essence of heaven and earth, and the aura of the sun and moon, and created a school of life medicine; Gu Xi looks more vigorous and strong than a middle-aged man... Therefore, he is hailed as a miracle doctor, and Ke Yunlu, a literary master of a generation, has written two masterpieces with more than one million words for him. There is a Sima Nan in Beijing who does not believe in evil. He took CCTV reporters to Taiyi Town to explore the "mystery" of Master Hu, and found that "Master Hu" was only 49 years old; the penance in the mountains was actually convicted of murder. He has been imprisoned for many years; the seven cases of AIDS were cured, but it was nothing more than a joke that any cowhide king is good at; According to the relentless investigation of many news media such as "Henan Business Daily", "Yangcheng Evening News" and "Wen Wei Po", this "contemporary Hua Tuo", who has been boasted as a god, is known for his ability to "add Glauber's salt and thugs". .He just looked at all the patients and asked them to get the medicine, but all the patients were given the same medicine, that is Glauber's salt.No matter what your illness is, he dismissed you with a handful of Glauber's salt.If anyone said eating it would not work, he would be severely beaten by several professional thugs immediately.Even if you are put to death by "Master Hu", you can't say a word about him.Therefore, in the hospital run by him, just like the Cultural Revolution, the patients did not rest in the wards, but connected with each other everywhere, brushing up signs and writing thank-you letters praising "Master Hu" to show their sincerity. Anyone with a little medical knowledge knows that Glauber's salt is just a traditional Chinese medicine that laxative blindly, and taking too much of it can cause electrolyte imbalance and even death from poisoning. No matter how capable "Master Hu" is, Glauber's salt will not change the characteristics of Glauber's salt.Therefore, only two years after "Master Hu" came out of the mountain, hundreds of people died at his hands.Mr. Chen, who was once employed by Hu Wanlin, revealed that the number of dead in the mortuary of Zhongnanshan Hospital in Xi'an was 98 at that time, and at most six people died in one day.It was a few days after the Spring Festival. One person died that morning, two people died in the afternoon, and three people died in the evening.A chubby little boy of twelve or thirteen died after drinking the medicine one night.A professor surnamed Zhang from a certain university in Shaanxi Province seemed to be in good health at the time, tall and fat, and very active.I don't know why I came to "Master Hu" to see a doctor, but in the middle of January 1998, I died on the spot after drinking the thenardite from "Master Hu". "Master Hu" caused numerous murders in Zhongnanshan Hospital, which finally alarmed the public security department. At 3 o'clock in the morning on February 27, 1998, the Xi'an police dispatched more than a hundred police cars, and more than 600 policemen overwhelmingly surrounded Taiyi Town. Barrel is average.But "Master Hu" is a "master" after all, and he broke through the encirclement and left without knowing where he ended up. Three months later, people were surprised to find that Hu Wanlin showed up at Weida Hospital in Shangqiu City for consultation.Weida Hospital is an entity established by the Shangqiu Municipal Health Bureau, and it has just been built. Just after its trial operation in June, the "Master Hu", who can cure all diseases, was invited, and it attracted hundreds of people from all over the world. Among those seeking medical advice, the only thing that did not attract the fleeing police. On September 22, Fu Chunmei, a laid-off female worker, heard that the newly built Weida Hospital in Shangqiu City had invited a "miracle doctor" to treat various difficult and incurable diseases, and the curative effect was miraculous.She suffered from "retinitis pigmentosa" since she was a child, and her father took her all over the country, but she was not optimistic.I went to consult with hope, and the result was a 100% positive answer. I bought two books from the "miracle doctor", "Discovering the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine" and "Discovering Contemporary Hua Tuo", written by the famous writer Ke Yunlu. The "miracle doctor - Hu Wanlin" firmly believed in it. On the same day, Fu Chunmei came to Weida Hospital to ask "Master Hu" for treatment. Hu took a look, asked for his name, and quickly wrote a number on a piece of paper and gave it to Fu Chunmei, asking her to pick up the medicine according to the number in the afternoon.In the afternoon, she stood in a long queue and received two bottles of black liquid medicine with Glauber's salt added. In the next few days, she went to Weida Hospital to buy a potion with a handful of Glauber's salt added every day.After drinking this medicine, I had vomiting and diarrhea, and my stomach felt like it was on fire.Thinking of the long-term torment of the disease for 30 years, she gritted her teeth and persisted. Her 58-year-old mother, He Suyun, is retired and suffers from mild high blood pressure. However, she is energetic and cheerful. If her blood pressure is high, she can take a few antihypertensive tablets and she will be fine. It has never affected her normal life and work.When her daughter went to the hospital to be treated by a "miracle doctor", she was skeptical at first, but after picking up the two books "Discovering the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" and "Discovering Contemporary Hua Tuo" written by the famous writer Ke Yunlu, she firmly believed in the medical skills of "Master Hu". No doubt, I also want to ask "Master Hu" to see her hypertension. On the first day, the mother and daughter brought back a large bucket of water. After drinking and vomiting at 11 o'clock that night, they took a cold bath with the medicinal powder issued by "Master Hu" according to the doctor's instructions, and then vomiting and diarrhea. At that time, they didn't feel much.The next day, I took back the medicine with a handful of Glauber's salt from the hospital.She drank it into her stomach according to the procedure like yesterday, but Fu Chunmei felt extremely uncomfortable, her body was like a fire.On the afternoon of the fourth day, Fu Chunmei went to the hospital to get the medicine and rushed home. When she found her mother opened her mouth but could not speak, she hurriedly sent her to Weida Hospital, where she died ten minutes later. Among the victims who were suspected of being cured by the "miracle doctor" was the well-known mayor of Luohe City, Henan Province, Liu Famin. At the end of August 1998, Liu Famin, who had just returned from the flood fighting front, went to Beijing and was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.After returning to Henan, he went to Shangqiu Weida Hospital where Hu Wanlin was the chief doctor. On September 24, Liu’s condition deteriorated. Weida Hospital asked his family members to transfer the patient to Shangqiu Central Hospital and then to Zhengzhou. Void death. After many twists and turns, on December 8, 1998, Hu Wanlin, a "miracle doctor" who had cured more than 100 deaths due to illegal medical practice, was arrested in Shanghai. Soon after, he was arrested by the Suiyang District Procuratorate of Shangqiu City, Henan Province with the approval of the arrest. There is no more precious wealth than health in the world. We know this truth, and Hu Wanlin and his like have grasped the psychology of patients eager to be cured.But if you know a little bit of modern scientific knowledge and use a little bit of brains, you can easily see through the deception: Do you believe that Hu Wanlin can cure AIDS that modern cutting-edge technology can't break through?Can one person see hundreds of patients a day?Chinese medicine still pays attention to "look, smell, ask, and cut", and Hu Wanlin can cure the disease by looking at the patient for a few seconds?Can Hu Wanlin's unchanging "panacea" really cure all diseases? The farce set off by Hu Wanlin tells us a cruel fact—in China, where modern technology and culture are highly developed 20 years after the reform and opening up, modern superstitions still haunt our society like lingering ghosts. Since the reform and opening up, although our economic indicators have continued to grow, the improvement of the national quality has far failed to keep up with the pace of economic development.In some remote mountainous areas, due to geographical isolation, social education and cultural infrastructure are backward, ignorance is pervasive, superstition is prevalent, witches and gods stir up troubles, confuse people's hearts, and sorcery deceives and harms people frequently occurs.Even in big cities with well-developed education and culture, although many people live a modern life, their spiritual world has not yet emerged from the swamp of superstition and blind obedience. It is not difficult to see that the reason why modern superstition makers like Hu Wanlin can flourish, and even flourish for a while, is precisely because our society still has the soil and space for their survival.Therefore, only by improving the quality of the people in an all-round way and fundamentally eliminating the living soil and space of modern superstition can the phenomenon of Hu Wanlin gradually disappear.Otherwise, even if you catch Hu Wanlin today, another "Li Wanlin" or "Wang Wanlin" may appear tomorrow. Just when Hu Wanlin, who was well-known in China, was arrested, two "miracle doctors" appeared in Shuangliu County, Sichuan. Although their reputation was not as great as Hu Wanlin's, their cowhide was no less than his—they "can not only cure various difficult and miscellaneous diseases" , and conquered the world's medical problems, and cured cancer and AIDS." These two "miracle doctors" brothers who are also enough to win the Nobel Prize are called Zhang Zhongqi and Hou Shiqi. It is said that Hou Shiqi has cured six AIDS patients in Yili, Xinjiang and Sanming, Fujian, while Zhang Zhongqi has cured six AIDS patients in Sichuan alone. Five or six HIV carriers have been cured, and no less than 20 cases have been cured across the country. Where is such a "miracle doctor"? Reporters from the "Yangtze River Evening News" and the police came to the clinic of the "miracle doctor".At that time Hou Shiqi was dispensing medicine for a middle-aged woman.Law enforcement officers checked and found that the mysterious medicinal powder was made by crushing Mutong and Xuetong, plus some oryzanol, metoclopramide and other western medicines, and the magic medicine for "impotence" in the drawer was Hawthorn Pills. Put a layer of medicinal powder on it, and then seal it with wax, and the price will be hundreds of times immediately—the hawthorn pills that cost 1 dime a pill have become a magic medicine for treating impotence that costs 28 yuan a pill. In another room, a tricycle driver was also invited to help the "miracle doctor" make medicines. How could the tricycle driver know how to make medicines?The coachman said it was very simple. A woven bag under the bed was filled with western medicines such as Ketansu tablets, anti-inflammatory and choleretic tablets, atropine sulfate, metoclopramide, oryzanol, and many kinds of traditional Chinese medicines were piled up in the sack in the corner of the room. The coachman only needs to crush the traditional Chinese medicine, add a little western medicine, and mix it up.As for which medicines to use and the dosage of each medicine, the coachman said: "Just grab a few, and it's good enough." After Zhang Zhongqi was arrested, when asked why he practiced medicine to deceive people, the "miracle doctor" was embarrassed: "My father was sick and hospitalized, and asked for money to treat the disease, so I wanted to come out to find some money." The "miracle doctor" who can even cure AIDS But he couldn't cure his father's illness. Isn't this a joke? !But he disagrees: now only practicing medicine can deceive people, and the more you say it, the more people will believe it.
