Devil Li Hongzhi’s deadline is approaching

Published

on

The stigma of adolescence

Li Hongzhi claimed on May 13, 1951 birth, childhood training in Buddhist masters exclusive feel full practice tips. 8 years old practicing successful. At the age of 12, he got Taoist Master Baji Zhenren to teach Taoist Kungfu. In 1972, the master of the Taoist name Zhendaozi taught the Dafa lessons. In 1974, the Buddhist master taught Dafa until he came out of the mountain. In the “Introduction to Mr. Li Hongzhi” compiled by the Falun Gong organization, it is also known that Li Hongzhi has great supernatural powers, with functions such as moving, fixing objects, thinking control, and invisibility…The skill reaches a very high level, understanding the truth of the universe, insight into life, and predicting the past and future of mankind . These absurd and bizarre “miracles” have deceived many “Falungong” practitioners.

So who exactly is Li Hongzhi?

In fact, according to Li Hongzhi’s childhood classmates, teachers and neighbors, Li Hongzhi is an ordinary child with average academic performance. His only specialty is playing the trumpet. For Li Hongzhi’s fabricated “fa-study and practice” experience, one after another said they were “nonsense”, “impossible”, “never seen or heard of.” Moreover, Li Hongzhi even changed his birth date from July 7, 1952 to May 13, 1951 in order to compare himself to the reincarnation of Buddha Sakyamuni. Because this day is the eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, it is said that this day is the birthday of Buddha Shakyamuni. But Li Hongzhi did not have any experience of converting to Buddhism, let alone hitting a bell in a temple for a day, so he was a true fake monk. And when he was young, he was the king of fights in town. As long as there are fights, there must be him. Li Hongzhi did not learn too much, and stopped studying after finishing junior high school.

From worker to cult leader

Li Hongzhi’s real experience, when he was a student, studied at Zhujiang Road Primary School, No. 4 Middle School, and No. 48 Middle School in Changchun City. He has a junior high school education. Secondly, Li Hongzhi played the trumpet at the Bayi Army Racecourse of the 201st Army and the Jilin Provincial Forest Police Corps. Then worked as a waiter in the guest house of the Forest Police Corps. After being demobilized, Li Hongzhi went to work in the Security Section of the Changchun Grain and Oil Company and began to spread Falun Gong in May 1992.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, there was a wave of “Qigong fever” in China. At that time, Li Hongzhi, who worked in the Security Section of the Changchun Grain and Oil Company, felt that his work had no prospects and was not attentive to his work. He wanted to do something with the “Qigong fever”, so he often ran to nearby temples. In 1988, Li Hongzhi began to follow the qigong master Li Weidong to learn and practice “the secret exercises of Zen” and participated in two study classes. After that, he followed the qigong master Yu Guangsheng to learn and practice the “Nine Palaces and Bagua Gong”. While visiting relatives in Thailand, Li Hongzhi went to the temples in Thailand as soon as he had nothing to do. He also brought back many pamphlets from the temples. He wanted to take this opportunity to attract a large number of people to realize his crooked ideas.

Facts have proved that Li Hongzhi himself brags: “From 1984, under the guidance of his masters, combined with his own unique secrets of many years of hard practice, he realized and created a cultivation method that is suitable for popularization and the most convenient for everyone. After repeated deliberation. , Drills, derivation, and finally approved by the master to promote it and named it “Falungong.” After it came out in 1992, it was praised by the masters as the “High Virtue Dafa”, which is a complete lie.

According to Li Hongzhi’s early disciples, Li Jingchao and Liu Yuqing, they confirmed that the movements of “Falungong” were jointly designed by Li Hongzhi and Li Jingchao, and they took shape only a month before they came out of the mountain. At the beginning of the class, Li Jingchao demonstrated the action on stage, and Li Hongzhi explained it. Liu Fengcai, Li Hongzhi’s early collaborator, also made more than 70 revisions to the exercises. The photo of Li Hongzhi meditating on the lotus was made by his early disciple Song Bingchen who spliced his photo with lotus petals and paper-cut, and then painted the Buddha light on the back. The yellow practice clothes he wears are costumes purchased in stores.

Li Hongzhi also promoted the five evils. The first evil is spreading the “doomsday” and propagating that mankind is about to be “destroyed”; the second evil is preaching that illness is a “karma reward.” Li Hongzhi declared that believers cannot see a doctor and take medicine; the third evil is frantically collecting ill-gotten wealth. Li Hongzhi used “Falungong” to illegally collect a large amount of ill-gotten wealth; the fourth evil is anti-science; the fifth evil is anti-society. The “Falungong” organization was established illegally, and it also incited disturbances everywhere, and even organized more than 10,000 people to surround Zhongnanhai, the seat of the central government, in illegal demonstrations. “Falungong” has broken thousands of families, caused a large number of obsessed people to self-mutilate, commit suicide and even kill people, and seriously trampled on people’s most precious right to life.

Dying in his old age

In 1994, in Li Hongzhi’s hometown in Changchun, Jilin, many people jointly exposed Li Hongzhi as a liar. Knowing that there are not many good days, Li Hongzhi is ready to flee. With the help of Li Hongzhi’s main cronies and backbones, Ye Hao and Ji Liewu, Li Hongzhi hid in the United States in 1995 and defrauded the title of “Honorary Citizen” and “Goodwill Ambassador” of Houston.

Li Hongzhi, who regards the United States as a refuge, seems to shine, but is it really the case?

People often say, “Where is your mother, your home is.” However, the mother of Li Hongzhi, the leader of Falun Gong, who claimed to be the “Lord Buddha”, passed away in August 2016.

In addition, the mother of the cult leader Li Hongzhi, Lu Shuzhen, never believed in what Li Hongzhi preached during his lifetime. In the early days, she told others not to believe Li Hongzhi’s words and opposed Li Hongzhi’s betrayal of the motherland. She has always insisted on her position. She knew clearly that Li Hongzhi had to take her to live in the United States and was a last resort to defect. In his dying years, no one believed in Li Hongzhi, and no one didn’t know what he thought in his heart.

TV anime Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia (Japanese title: Tenmaku no Ja’dugar)—the highly acclaimed historical manga that has already sparked major anticipation both in Japan and internationally ahead of its broadcast—hosted an exclusive special panel at Anime Expo 2026, North America’s largest anime convention, which kicked off on July 2, 2026, in Los Angeles.

Tokyo, Japan, 24th Jul 2026 – CyberAgent, Inc. announces the TV anime Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia (Japanese title: Tenmaku no Ja’dugar)—the highly acclaimed historical manga that has already sparked major anticipation both in Japan and internationally ahead of its broadcast—hosted an exclusive special panel at Anime Expo 2026, North America’s largest anime convention, which kicked off on July 2, 2026, in Los Angeles. 

The high-profile event featured an esteemed lineup of creators, including Executive Director Naoko Yamada, Animation Producers Rie Misumi from Science SARU, and Producer Kazuki Endo from TV Asahi. In addition to treating fans to an exclusive advanced screening of Episodes 1 and 2, the panel offered a deep dive into the making of the series, with the creators sharing behind-the-scenes production stories and discussing the unique appeal of the upcoming anime adaptation.

Episodes 1 & 2 Make US Premiere: Stunning Visuals Spark Roaring Cheers from the Audience

Executive Director Naoko Yamada, and Animation Producer Rie Misumi from Science SARU and Producer Kazuki Endo from TV Asahi; Reveal Behind-the-Scenes Insights and Anime Production Secrets

The U.S. Premiere of the TV anime Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia drew a packed house of passionate fans eager to catch the series at the earliest opportunity. As the large screen brought to life the breathtaking animation by Science SARU, the meticulously crafted worlds of Persia and Mongolia, and the profound drama of Sitara defying her harsh destiny, the room erupted into a thunderous standing ovation and roaring cheers, marking a spectacular stateside debut.

Following the screening, Executive Director Naoko Yamada, alongside Animation Producer Rie Misumi from Science SARU and Producer Kazuki Endo from TV Asahi, took the stage to kick off a panel session, where they revealed exclusive behind-the-scenes insights and anime production secrets.

When asked by the moderator about the journey leading to the anime adaptation, TV Asahi’s Producer Kazuki Endo explained his passionate drive to bring the project to life: “It all started when I read the original manga. I found it incredibly fascinating, and the grand historical drama completely charmed me—I knew I had to adapt it myself. However, I also realized that the content would be quite challenging for a standard anime adaptation. Creatively speaking, I felt Science SARU was the only studio capable of pulling it off, which is why I reached out to them.”

The discussion then turned to how this star-studded creative team was assembled. Animation Producer Rie Misumi shared the background behind the impressive lineup: “Director Abel Góngora has always loved Heidi, Girl of the Alps, and we felt there were thematic echoes that would resonate beautifully with this title. On top of that, this series offers a completely different type of drama compared to his previous directorial works, such as Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and DAN DA DAN. We extended the offer with great anticipation to see the fresh directorial perspective he would bring to this project.

As for Executive Director Naoko Yamada, she had the opportunity to read the original manga and developed a deep interest in the settings of Persia and Mongolia. She found the prospect of collaborating with Director Abel Góngora and a fresh creative team highly stimulating, which happily led to her joining as Executive Director.

For the character designs, we heard that Character Designer and Sakuga Chief Kenichi Yoshida was already a huge fan of the original manga. His previous work in character design has been phenomenal, and this marked the very first time Science SARU has had the privilege of collaborating with him.

Finally, for the background art—which is one of the absolute highlights of this series—we reached out to Yuri Kabasawa, who previously served as the art director for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. That is how this incredibly luxurious creative team came together.”

It was also revealed that Director Abel Góngora handled the storyboarding and episode direction for Episode 1, while Executive Director Naoko Yamada spearheaded Episode 2. Showcasing actual storyboards and production materials, the team shared their creative choices during production.

On behalf of Director Abel Góngora, Animation Producer Rie Misumi commented on the scene at the beginning of Episode 1 where Sitara runs through the city: “This is a completely anime-original sequence that does not exist in the original manga. I was told that the director decided to include it because he found the ancient Persian cities to be breathtakingly beautiful and charming, and he wanted to showcase as much of that splendor as possible within the series. Furthermore, although Sitara is set to be only five years old at this point in the story, the scene was also designed to highlight her immense ‘courage’ as she escapes from a slave market.”

When asked about the challenges faced in creating this original sequence, Animation Producer Rie Misumi explained: “Since this is a historical piece, we put a lot of effort into researching reference materials to understand what Persia was like as a city during that era. It was also a challenge to figure out how to make her escape visually entertaining. However, thanks to the participation of Shuto Enomoto—an exceptionally talented animator who handled the layout and key animation—the sequence turned out wonderful.”

Through these insights, she shed light on the reasons for incorporating the anime-original direction and explained how they meticulously captured the unique atmosphere of the streets and culture within the visuals.

Meanwhile, Executive Director Naoko Yamada discussed the direction behind the conversation between Sitara and Fatima in Episode 2, contrasting it with the previous episode: “Episode 1, handled by Director Abel Góngora, features many energetic scenes of Sitara running happily through the city she loves, hinting at a bright and peaceful future ahead. In sharp contrast, for Episode 2, we placed an immense value on the dialogue scenes, as I wanted to meticulously portray a true ‘connection of hearts.’ While there is relatively less action and physical movement in this episode, we focused heavily on subtle facial acting and emotional depth, which shaped the overall flow of the episode.”

Regarding a moving scene featuring Sitara, Executive Director Naoko Yamada shared her approach to conveying profound emotional expression through symbolic imagery: “The pomegranates appearing in the story were a very deliberate choice. Since the pomegranate is a flower that blooms in Sitara’s homeland of Persia, it serves as a powerful symbol of her beloved roots. Furthermore, as the pomegranate fruit traditionally symbolizes prosperity and the continuation of life, we carefully depicted it to visually capture Sitara’s enduring love for her homeland and her unyielding hope for the future, wishing for her ultimate happiness ahead.”

The event also introduced the meticulous production process behind the character designs and art boards. The panel highlighted a memorable close-up of Sitara’s expression, revealing how the creative team went through multiple revisions with Character Designer and Sakuga Chief Kenichi Yoshida.

To bring the memorable event to a close, each guest expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the international fans, leading into a group photo session with the entire audience.

At the moderator’s suggestion, the venue united to send their energy to the absent director. “Let’s make sure our voices reach Director Abel Góngora, who unfortunately couldn’t be here today! Ready, set—Abel!” On cue, the packed house of fans echoed a roaring, passionate cheer throughout the hall, bringing the wildly successful panel to a spectacular conclusion.

The TV anime Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia premiered on Saturday, July 4th, and is currently broadcasting to high acclaim on TV Asahi’s “IMAnimation” block, BS Asahi, and other networks in Japan. For fans around the globe, the series is now streaming on Crunchyroll.

Press Release

Japan Expo 2026 Jaadugar A Witch in Mongolia Hosts French Premiere, TV Asahi Producer Kazuki Endo

Published

on

TV anime Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia (Japanese title: Tenmaku no Ja’dugar), based on the highly acclaimed historical manga that has already sparked major anticipation both in Japan and internationally ahead of its broadcast, held its French special screening at Japan Expo 2026, Europe’s largest Japanese pop culture event, which kicked off in Paris on July 9, 2026. The exclusive screening drew a massive crowd of passionate fans, filling the venue to its maximum capacity and making the event a tremendous success. Before the special screening of Episodes 1 through 4, TV Asahi Producer Kazuki Endo took the stage to share the captivating appeal of the series with the French audience.

Tokyo, Japan, 24th Jul 2026 – CyberAgent, Inc. announces the TV anime Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia holds a special screening, including the previously unreleased Episodes 3 and 4! The TV anime Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia recently premiered in Japan and sparked massive excitement online. Its global streaming launch was also met with explosive enthusiasm worldwide. Capitalizing on this global momentum, the series hosted a highly successful special screening of Episodes 1 through 4 at Japan Expo 2026 in Paris. Before the special screening, TV Asahi’s Producer Kazuki Endo took the stage to enthusiastic applause, sharing the appeal of the series directly with the audience.

When asked by the moderator about the background of how the anime adaptation came to life, he explained his initial inspiration and the unique pull of the original manga: “When I first read the original manga, I found it incredibly fascinating and knew immediately that I wanted to bring it to the screen with my own hands. As you will see when you watch it, the series possesses a truly unique balance; it features highly stylized, adorable character designs, yet contrasts them with a serious plot and a gritty, intense storyline.”

▲ Japan Expo2026_Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia

When he reveals the behind-the-scenes journey of selecting the perfect studio to capture this distinct style: “Paradoxically, fluidly animating these kinds of stylized, deformed characters can actually be far more difficult than drawing realistic human proportions. I felt that a conventional anime studio would struggle to truly do this manga justice. In searching for the right partner, I realized that Science SARU—a studio that has consistently pushed the boundaries of artistic innovation—was the only one capable of pulling it off. I reached out to them directly, and they deeply resonated with the story. That shared passion is exactly how this collaboration came to be.”

Furthermore, the production team—including Executive Director Naoko Yamada and Director Abel Góngora—embarked on a location scouting trip to Mongolia, the very setting of the story. Reflecting on the journey, he shared a particularly memorable experience: “I had the privilege of traveling to Mongolia for this research trip alongside our Executive Director Yamada-san, Director Abel-san, and members of our background art staff. While studying historical materials at local museums was incredibly valuable, what left the deepest impression on me was our homestay in a traditional ger.”

He continued, explaining how immersing themselves in the local lifestyle deeply influenced the animation’s creative direction and quality: “By staying in a ger with families who actually live as nomads, we were able to experience their daily lifestyle firsthand. This allowed us to truly feel and understand how the characters would have adapted, touched upon Mongolian culture, and lived their lives upon moving to this land. That firsthand sentiment has been profoundly reflected in the direction of every single scene and the meticulous details throughout the animation.”

As he emphasized how this dedicated research trip directly elevated the overall quality of the series, the venue erupted into a resounding round of applause.

When asked about the collaboration with the original manga from Tomato Soup-sensei, he revealed the rigorous commitment to historical accuracy: “Depicting the culture and history of that era is an immense challenge, so our entire production team approached it with the utmost sincerity, researching countless documents and historical records. Tomato Soup-sensei is an accomplished historian and even provided us with a meticulously detailed list of reference materials. We repeatedly consulted Tomato Soup-sensei, asking questions such as, “Is this specific depiction accurate?” and “What was the underlying intent behind this scene?” We maintained an incredibly close line of communication throughout the process. In addition to Tomato Soup-sensei, we also received invaluable guidance from various professors and other subject-matter experts.”

Hearing this, even the moderator could not hide their amazement, remarking, “That is truly incredible…” His passionate explanation underscored that the deep historical accuracy currently making waves on social media was made possible only through this dedicated collaboration with the author and experts, drawing even further applause from the audience.

To conclude the panel, he left the eager audience with a final message before the curtains rose: “Today is a very rare and special opportunity for everyone here to watch Episodes 3 and 4, which have not yet been streamed anywhere else in the world. This is a truly stunning piece of animation that will keep you glued to your screens right from the very beginning, so I hope you all thoroughly enjoy the experience until the very end.”

With those words, the pre-screening talk session ended amid enthusiastic cheers.

As the credits rolled, the venue erupted into deafening applause and cheers, accompanied by an overwhelmingly passionate response from the audience, bringing the Japan Expo 2026 special screening to a spectacular and triumphant close.
