▲"small town big evil" in the united states: jim jones, leader of the people's temple, and his headquarters in jonestown (above); david koresh, leader of the branch davidians, and his headquarters in waco (center); li hongzhi, leader of the falun gong cult, and his longquan temple headquarters in deer park (below)

"don't talk about it" posted on august 28: she crawled off the stage in front of thousands of people

netizen alice: (the previous post of this netizen’s topic has been deleted) his mother and sister are both in the northern school (note: this refers to the "feitian school of the arts" located in middletown, northern new york state. the school was originally located at the new york state psychiatric treatment center and is now abandoned. in order to attract investment, the town of middletown gave the building use rights of the new york state psychiatric treatment center to "falun gong" almost free of charge). they are very valued. his sister was sent to the north by the master's wife and aunt (note: li hongzhi's sister li jun).

forget about it:xiuxiu is the elder sister (note: the above text uses "he" to refer to "xiuxiu", which is a gender error). her knees were swollen, purple, and dislocated because she fell forward and didn't land properly. she didn't see a doctor at the time and insisted on performing with "righteous thoughts"! she fell on the stage and "crawled" off the stage! it was miserable! li hongzhi didn't let us help her, and asked her to practice the third set of exercises several times a day.。

netizen ali banana: yes! the one i mentioned here who crawled off the stage in front of thousands of spectators was xiu xiu.

forget about it:in a theater in the united states, xiu xiu was a fairy in pan taoyuan in journey to the west. when she was about to climb the stairs and jump off the platform, her knees couldn't bear the force and she fell directly to the middle of the stage. the curtain flew away and she landed on the "mortal world" stage, and then climbed off the stage... instead of being comforted by the group leader and classmates, she was accused of having problems with her cultivation state! damn it! a group of demonic beasts were bullying us! i wanted to go over to help, but li hongzhi stopped me immediately! my "three views" were shattered!

netizen ali banana:this happened on the day she was injured. after that, li hongzhi did not allow anyone to help her. everyone in the car sat down and watched her dragging one leg to climb in and out of the car.。

netizen small potato: too cruel, so perverted. this girl still firmly believes that master li is a good person? she must be crazy!

don’t talk about it: when we are abused, we think it is the “lord buddha” who has shown mercy! in the past, whenever we were hurt or uncomfortable, we would thank master! because li hongzhi said that it can “eliminate karma”, and zhang tianliang said “ascetic monk”, so the more painful it is, the more we feel refreshed! is it really sick!

netizen small potato: i'm so depressed, it turns out they are all masochists. it's really tragic!

forget about it:one time, the school took us to new york city. the ride took more than two hours. on the way back, the air conditioner on the bus broke down. it was summer, and the scorching heat raised the temperature of the bus to 50 degrees! we could sleep in our thick coats, sweating, without making a sound! no one dared to complain because it was “eliminating karma”!

netizen yu gong qing ming: sorry... this is "destroying brain cells"...

netizen small potato: oh my god, this can kill people. ignorance is terrible!

netizen alice: she (xiu xiu) was arranged to go to the northern school. master's wife (note: li hongzhi's wife li rui) also sent her several messages saying that she was not tall enough, which was a pity. but she is doing well in the northern school now, and continues to train younger children with the harsh methods of "the mountain".

netizen ali banana: master’s wife, please don’t lie to me. you are obviously dissatisfied with her figure and say she is not tall enough. but she is one of the tallest girls in shen yun!

don’t talk about it: oh, no no no, don’t treat your children like this anymore… can the suffering you have endured stop in your own age?

netizens are enjoying the fun:from a victim in the past, she has become the perpetrator now! the bullied daughter-in-law has become a wicked mother-in-law!

all the promising methods of netizens are like dreams and bubbles: a cult!

comments on china anti-cult network：on august 16, the new york times published an investigative report titled "abuse and manipulation: former performers reveal insider information about falun gong's shen yun performing arts company," which exposed that li hongzhi and the shen yun performing arts company ignored the treatment of injured performers and even encouraged them to heal their injuries by "sending righteous thoughts." they also attributed the performers' stage mistakes to insufficient "cultivation." this post by the netizen "don't talk" and the comments from other netizens corroborated the relevant report of the new york times and also revealed what the new york times did not report: "the victims" became new "perpetrators" after joining the management of falun gong. this vicious cycle of abuse and torture in the "wheel" will repeat itself once it exists.

don't talk about it. posted on august 29: "the lord buddha of the universe" li hongzhi said that plastic surgery made the "lord spirit" unable to find its master.

let’s not talk about it: one year, chen houren (note: “shen yun” actor, from taiwan) seemed to have injured his achilles tendon during training and did not heal. he went back to taiwan for treatment for a period of time. after returning, his face looked different from before. li hongzhi criticized him harshly at a meeting: “you who have plastic surgery, the ‘main soul’ can’t recognize you. when they see you, they will say: oh! my master doesn’t look like this! the ‘main soul’ will run away!” i thought to myself: “yes, what is the ‘main soul’? not even as good as a dog’s nose?! a dog can definitely find its master by smell alone, but the ‘main soul’ can’t find its master with its eyes open. how can it be called a ‘soul’ if it’s not even as good as a dog’s nose?” who can explain it to me? i still cannot understand such profound “fa principles”!

netizen kang shuaifu: i don't understand. the master (father) asked huanhuan to get double eyelids before, but huanhuan didn't do it. why do people only get scolded for doing their own facial surgery?li hongzhi's control desire is really great! everything has to go through him. you can only do what he tells you to do. if you do something without him telling you, it's a big taboo, and he will definitely find a reason to punish you!

forget about it:all dental, cosmetic, bone, breast and other operations require his approval! only those who are approved can enter the "falun world", and those who are not approved can make their own decisions! therefore, we "shen yun" actors rarely have our own opinions, including me.my family asked me what i wanted to eat or buy. i always said it didn’t matter, which made them angry… ten years of control is not something that can be changed overnight. i even thought it was good. it’s good that someone can choose for me, and that’s it!

netizen semi_c: i smiled with ill intentions. should breast augmentation be done to make them bigger or smaller? the child's breast curve is well developed, but the "lord buddha" still scolds them for not practicing well!

there’s no need to talk about it: he said that having two lumps (note: referring to the actress’ breasts) swaying on the stage wasn’t a good look and would divert the audience’s attention!

netizen semi_c: you can tie it up. there are many ways!

no need to talk about it: it was tied up, and every time she finished dancing she was out of breath and felt very uncomfortable and wanted to cry...but luckily she managed to hold on until the end.

forget about it: what did he do? double eyelids? what else?

netizen ali banana: maybe a nose? not sure, after all, no girl would dare to stare at his face and study it openly!

netizen gnunc: maybe only her girlfriend has this right now. i heard it’s lian xu (note: “shen yun” lead dancer, from taiwan)?

netizen alice: lian xu and chen houren are under the age limit and were specially approved by “the mountain”.

forget about it:two great lead dancers! chen houren should be old enough! almost 30, right? he has a young wife, bless them! if it is true love, if it is just to solve the identity problem, forget it (note: refers to the "shen yun" actors marrying, faking marriage or living together without love with people who have already become naturalized americans or hold green cards in order to get a us green card).

netizen youwei: master ordered cosmetic surgery, and said that the "shen yun" actors could use it first. "shen yun" actors have first-class skills, but if they don't look good, the audience will have a bad impression and cannot be saved. master told the "shen yun" actors that after cosmetic surgery, the "main soul" will not recognize you. "zhuan falun": "the true practice of cultivating both the mind and the body will naturally reach this step, and you will not have to do cosmetic surgery." if you feel conflicted and confused about the above, you should still "take the fa as your master." the fa says: "master did not bring you here to make a revolution... master brought you here to cultivate." (fa lecture at the greater new york fa conference) "here in ordinary society, it's like staying in a hotel, staying for a few days, and then leaving in a hurry." "zhuan falun" if the "project led by master" is not "doing big things" in ordinary society, can it achieve big things? if you don't understand, it means that this "cultivation" environment may not be suitable for you. get out of it early to ensure your physical and mental health!

alice: then fellow practitioners at the foot of the mountain should not do this. northern hospital used to strongly promote acupuncture and medical aesthetics. the person in charge of the hospital discussed this in front of everyone, encouraging fellow practitioners to do medical aesthetics. this is also approved by master! i strongly recommend chen houren to be the image ambassador of sy (shen yun) medical aesthetics center!

don't talk about it: go ahead~ everyone go do face! if this project is approved by li hongzhi, the "master buddha" will take care of it, and the "master buddha" will lead the "master yuanshen" home! you won't get lost! everyone go do! do, do, and do again!

netizen hai de duan: medical beauty includes plastic surgery, and all plastic surgery hospitals are named after medical beauty hospitals.

netizen youwei: yes, the services now provided by northern hospital include medical aesthetics and cosmetic surgery.

netizen dan: medical beauty is not going to work. the residents of middletown (note: this refers to the town of middletown in northern new york state that falun gong is developing. the english name is middletown. the former new york state psychiatric treatment center in the town is also the location of the current fei tian school of the arts) are very poor, and falun gong practitioners are even poorer. besides, it is impossible to find a licensed doctor. it is not like before. it is difficult to trick people into going there.i heard that once the "master buddha" wanted to summon a group of "clean world" (note: an online video platform created by li hongzhi, which is used to plagiarize excellent video works from other social media platforms) people to go up the mountain, but many people refused to go. although most practitioners did not say it, they were still rational and could not be fooled!

netizen youwei: so i said that master is just doing things to make students "enlighten". if you don't follow the "human law" (note: refers to the common practice in society), you can't accomplish anything. many projects violate the laws of human beings, as if they were intentional. just don't be fooled, and you must think independently.

netizen pumam rani: no wonder so many disciples are willing to get close to the "pig buddha". could it be that your "main spirit" brought you there just for these interesting stories?

netizen youwei: those who are willing to join should be the "main spirits" with deep human nature and heavy human hearts. the fact that master chose to save the "main spirits" is also one of the difficulties in saving people this time. "the closer you are to the temple, the farther away from the monks." the closer you are, the harder it is to cultivate. sakyamuni buddha mentioned this phenomenon: the closer you are to the master, the easier it is to ignore his true teachings and be confused by appearances or other external things. to cultivate, you must be able to distinguish between what is the fa and what is human words (note: this netizen is mocking that li hongzhi is surrounded by some fake practitioners).

comments on china anti-cult network：the theory of "main soul" is a concept in li hongzhi's "new scripture" that exists like "almighty god". however, because the "shen yun" actors had plastic surgery, the "main soul" could not recognize or find its "host". li hongzhi's self-contradictory heresy is everywhere. what's even more bizarre is that after li hongzhi and other senior officials opened a hospital (northern hospital) in middletown, new york, and set up a plastic surgery department (medical beauty department), li hongzhi began to encourage "shen yun" actors to go for plastic surgery, and even went so far as to say that "shen yun" actors with good acting skills but ugly looks could not save the audience. li hongzhi's image as a tyrannical and greedy cult leader is vividly portrayed on the screen.
