Today is a very important and very.memorable date, it is the anniversary
of the first publication in the "Sichuan Daily" of Tang Yu's paranormal
capability to distinguish Chinese characters with his ear. This is a very
important event in modern China. From March 11f 1979 to today, it has been
five years. A few days ago, I '; sawa,summary of the past five years written by
Comrade Ho Qing-Nian. It is truly worth while recalling what has happened over
the past five years. We have had many experiences, and have probably learned
many lessons. These should be summed up in a careful manner. This is a very
worthwhile thing to do, because th\s is a major event in mans understanding of

Recently, at a conference on new"technology revolution held by the National.

tiis maye a sign othe new sceience revolution to cone. I did not state it
this directly, I only said that the new science revolution,refers to systematic
science, thought science, and human science. It seems that the first two are
acceptable to most people, but when I spoke of human science, during the dis-
cussion, someone disagreed. When_,the conference__w?s eg, Comrade Zhang Zhen- -
Huan elaborated on this point for a while. He gave an explanation to those
comrades who had never seen for them se
lves and so did not understand the truth
of the matter. He also gave a counterattack against those people who are always
confounding right and wrong and who criticize without go-odd reason. Therefore,
we can see from these examples that ours is not going to be an easy task. Human
science is not comprised of paranormal capabilities alone. It also includes
Chinese medicine, and Qigong (translater-s note: Qigong is a system of breathing
exercises and breath control which is believed to be a source of energy, physical
and/or psychic.) These are very difficult to research, and are difficult for
most people-to-accept. Therefore, at the Conference on Qigong atQinghua
University ,,mow---x:~.we~ .~..
after the spring festival this year I stated that we were,.. facing a
struggle in the defense of dialectical materialism. Comrade Yu Guang-Yuan
stated-on the basis of rational reasoning, he could make the judgment that we
were wrong. How is this possible? This is contrary to Marxism-Leninism. It i8
contrary to dialectical materialism. At first I did not see the question this
way, but later I came to understand that it was this kind of question - it is,
of course, a question on the ideological front. It is different opinions on
what is understood. It is a difference in understanding. Really, it is a ques-
tion of whether '
g._want ial_eGt,icl.,,,-ate,alism or do

not entertain any hopes that we will meet with easy success. This will be a very

bitter struggle. I believe, that facing such a major problem, that we are
better off to imagine that it is going to be difficult than to believe it is
going to be easy, be simple. Do you comrades agree with me? This is the first
problem. -- -
The next question is that we must be very serious and thorough in our work,
very scientific.. I have heard that just recentlypTang""fit has lost his special
as lities. This is one example. It illustrates that we should record everything
very scientifically. Like this child Tang Yu. It seems that some things like
his process of development, his age, specific circumstances, were not recorded..
There is no proper record.. For another example, like Qigong cure for some
diseases. There are lots of rumors to this effect, so it makes people feel that
there must be something worthwhile. looking into. However, are each of the case
records in compliance with modern medical. standards? Are the records complete?
I have made this suggestion before. in the past: In cases where Qigong has
effected cures, the medical history must be recorded according to standards
generally recognized by modern medicine. If we should actually have such a
treatise and cannot get it published in a medical journal in China, then we can
take it to a world-wide authoritative journal for publication. They will not
argue or make fun of-us.. If the author signs his name and swears that it is
true, and they see that it is in accordance with recognized medical standards,
they will publish it. Our work must be up to generally acceptable standards..
This is one of the conditions of science. An article published which meets
these requirements, which is the result of a scientific experiment, may serve
as a reliable case history. I want everyone to talk this over and see if this
isn't the way this should be done. This is my reasoning: A physicist carries
out an experiment, his subject is something dead. However, man is alive. He
is subject to all kinds of influences. Therefore, in these medical researches,
we have to look for the statistical records. Individual instances are not
enough. As for paranormal capabilities, these are active.. This is subject
to even more influences. Therefore, we must carry out our observation very
scientifically, use scientific methods, have complete data. It is because of
this that we say we must study very carefully how to improve our work in the
future. This is 'TI e second question
The third question. I feel that we should find some way to improve orge ani2a-
tional work for*academic exchanges . At the Conference on Qigong held at Qing
Hua University, IYonly attended a few hours of meetings. I did not attend in
the afternoon or the next day. I believe the exchanges are lacking in depth. We
should have more exchanges, not a couple of days every six months. Shouldn't
we have more of them, and.for a single sitting - morning or afternoon, at the
most an additional evening. At present, none of us is specializing in this kind
of research as a profession. We are doing it in addition to our other profession.
So it is difficult for everyone to get together for two continuous days of
meetings.

I am presently receiving.a lot of research material. It is more than I
can handle Also I do not understand it. I looked up Comrade Chen Xin-Tong
t"his research institute and asked them for their opinion. Here they had some
;
material written b Comrade Song Kong-Zhi on a XZ-20 Information Diagnostic
Instrument. There was a lot of debate over this. Just glancing over material
like this, it seems incomplete. Only a little of the work has been done. Just
a drop in the bucket. Do you think he did a complete job? No, it wasn't.com-
plete.. Most of the material I receive is like this. These kind of things, of
themselves, cannot be considered very scientific, or not sufficient. However,
he did do some work. Of all the work that has to be done, he did do a. portion
of it. There were some results. Although he was unable to completely..solve a
problem, however, if'there is a very large amount of this kind of material, if
I uncover a little bit here, you uncover a.little bit there, and he uncovers
a little bit somewhere else, gathering from all sides, after a while, we may be
able to make something out of it. Just like a psychic trying to make out a
character. At first all he can make out is a rough sketch. He can only make
out something close to what it is. Then it becomes a little clearer. It looks.
like the character "FEI." Then it becomes a little clearer. It is the character
"BEI." This must be a long process. At first it is very confused. It seems
as if there is something there. After a while, it looks even more as if there
is something there. Finally, we believe that there truly is something, and we
are not afraid to say that Yes, this is what it is. 'Actually, thinking in terms
of images is just such a process. It is.just that the process is very rapid.
If we analyzed a slow motion film of the images, it would be just the same. Under
normal conditions, when we are reading or listening, the process is very fast.
However, if we measured it in milliseconds, and magnified the time one hundred
times, then it would be just the same as the situation we talked about before.
When we do scientific research on something, it is always this process. There-
fore,,I do not agree with the school of thought that states that scientific
research isalllogical reasoning. That is not the case. If it were all logical
reasoning, there would be. no creativity. Anyways, one and one are two: two and
three are five. Tfie teacher teaches it and the students know it.' There is a
premise and a conclusion. The results of the inferences are known. Also, the
methods are known. Where is there an y creativity? That portion most central to
the creativity of science is guessing. That is thinking in terms of images, or
inspiration (sudden realization of the truth.) In scientific work, logical
reasoning is used in the final proof. This is because you have to convince
people, so you have no choice but to use logical reasoning.
When we are tackling a problem as difficult as this, we have to rely on
everyone's efforts to find aAanswer. We must have discussions in depth. The
XZ-2O-Information Diagnostic Machine work was done by the comrades at the Human
Information Research Lab of the Henan Provincial Posts and Telecommunications
Research Institute. The work is not complete. There are some shortcomings.
But they did do some work. If some other people did some work, and. everyone put
everything together, we might gain a better knowledge. In our work, these little

drops in the bucket are very important. Do not hope that some person someday
out of the blue will become a genius. Genius comes from non-genius. There
has to be long and difficult work. We need to have this kind of spirit. Think-
ing for the benefit of all. Wouldn't it be better to have more frequent meet-
ings? To have half day meetings instead of two days at a time. Because. everyone
does this in addition to his regular job. We have to.do a better job with academic
exchange. We have to have them in more depth. This is the third question.
There one more question. What we are facing is going to be very diffi-
cult. I jam afraid it is going to be very difficult to gain a lot of support
a short time. In trying to develop traditional Chinese medicine, just to get it
written-into the constitution was actually very difficult to do. Our work in
researching human science will be many times more difficult than that. There-
fore, solidarity is of the utmost.importance.forus comrades. At present, we
are l struglin_in defense of dialectic materialism. Surely we can have
solidarity among our won people.''.With the presupposition of such a major task,
what problems could possibly be too big? We also have to consider that noone_
has had any great accuracy in doing research on this topic. Therefore, it is
only normal that there should bea great number of opinions. All questions are
still under discussion. But we must still have solidgr,ity in our work spirit.
Why do I say this? Not long ago.I rec
.eived a letter from a graduate research
student from a scientific and technical university ofthe Academy of Science.
He wrote about cooperation between outside units in research. He said that at
first they cooperated all right, but recently the. relationship between the two
had deteriorated, and made a mess out.of the laboratory. I don't know if this
is really so. That they have conflicts so bad that it looks like it is almost
violent. I hope that nothing like this happens among us comrades. If any
problem comes up, we can talk about it. We can't let any harm come to the
laboratory. Of course, we don't know for sure that this really happened, but it
serves as a warning. We must resolutely keep anything like this from happening.
If I have said anything wrong in my few opinions, I hope you comrades will
correct them for me.

First Board of Directors Meeting of Neimenggu Human Research Commission
On March 10, 1984, the Neimenggu Autonomous Region's Human Science Research
Commission Board of Directors convened their first meeting. Attending the meet-
ing were Honorary Chairman Yun Shu-Bi, Chairman Wu Wen-Wu, Deputy Chairman Liu
Jin-Zhu, and Board Members Liu Zhong-Ling, Li Shao-Pai, Li Zhi-Yi, Tang Xue-
Zheng, Yuan Shi-Xian, Xu Feng-Shan, Zhao Mei, and Zheng Xian-Dong. At the meet-
ing, Comrade Wu Wen-Wu passed on the spirit of the Chengtu, Sichuan, Human Science
Conference of March of this year. He summarized the work in Neimenggu Autonomous
Region over the past several years, and studied the 1984 work report.
1. Following rapid developments in modern science and technology and
pounding by the waves of the new production revolution, human science is smashing
all resistance and-difficulties in becoming one of the major sciences. It has
brought its brand new features into the field of science.
2. Looking back over the past several years work in human science in
Neimenggu, we have carried out work to bring out psychic capabilities in young
people; carried out repeated experiments on young people with psychic abilities
carried out relevant examinations and research on children?with.psychic ability;,
carried out experience exchanges with our sister provinces and municipalities to
learn from each other's work; at last years Fourth Plenary Session of China's
Human Science Research Commission (preparatory) was convened in Neimenggu, and
we did the organizational and hospitality work for the meeting; we attended
national academic and discussion meetings on human science where we studied and
understood national developments and experiences; we established an Autonomous
Region Human Science Commission and some subordinate study groups.

China's Human Science Research Commission (Preparatory) Holds Ceremonies To
Celebrate The Fifth Anniversary of .Ian Science Research
On March 11, 1979, "Sichuan Daily" reporter, Comrade.Zhang Nai-Ming reports
that elementary student Tang Yu from Dazu County in Sichuan has the ability to
distinguish characters with his ear. One after another, from all over China, it
was discovered that Jiang Yan, Wang Qiang, and Wang Wu from Beijing; Xu Rui-Hua
from Hebei; Mou Feng-Qin from Beilongjiang; Xie Chao-Hui from Hubei; Hu Lian and
He Xian-Qin from Anhui all have this kind of ability. This phenomenon has drawn
the attention of science research workers, and from distinguishing characters by
ear to human paranormal capabilities, it has expanded to the research into the
human sciences.

In September 1983, at the Fourth Plenary Session of the China Human Science
Research Commission held in Huhehaote City in Neimenggu autonomous region, it was
unanimously agreed that March 11, 1979, would mark the beginning of human science
research in China. It was hoped that on March 11, 1984, the various provinces
and municipalities would hold all sorts of commemorative activities. The main
celebration was to be held in Chengtu, Sichuan. Following is a summary of
activities there by reporter Mi Rui.
In.Chengdu, Sichuan, celebration activities were jointly held by the China
Human Science Research Commission (preparatory) and the Sichuan' Province Human
Science Committee.
Standing member Xie Yao-Qi of the China Human Sciences Research Commission
presided over the meeting. After briefly stating the purpose of the meeting, he
said that since March 11, 1979, when the "Sichuan Daily" published the article
about Tang Yu's ability to distinguish characters with his ear, exactly five
years have passed. In those five years, research in paranormal capabilities has
been suppressed and attacked by some people. This is good, because it causes
more people to be concerned about research in human paranormal capabilities.
It causes greater developments in research. It attracts even more research
workers to take part. Finally, it enabled paranormal capability research to
enjoy the concern and support of party central and national leaders, and with
the direction of the party this research has been continued to be carried out.
Finally he stated that in the revolution of new technologies, research in the
human science will be in the forefront, and will make new contributions to the
four modernizations and the new goals.
Standing committee member and concurrently Secretary-General of the China
Human Science Research Commission, Zhu Run-Long, gave a report to the meeting
recalling the situation in human science research during the past five years.
His report was divided into four portions: the past achievements, the present
situation, and the outlook. He said that generally, the past five years may be
broken down into four parts. March to September 1979 was the first part. During
this time newspapers from all parts of China reported a total of 19 children
with psychic abilities. This period concluded with the article in objection
published in the "Peoples' Daily." From September, 1979, to Au_gust,__1981, was
the second period. This was the developmental stage. The following were land-
marks in this stage: 1, Human science research formally mounted the stage of
science. A large number of researchers began researching using modern scientific
methods. 2. Many research papers were published in formal scientific journals
such as "Natural Science." 3. From "distinguishing characters by ear" to a
concept of paranormal capabilities, and gradually evolving into a systematic
concept of human science, and the scope of research broadened even more.
4. The first and second symposiums on human psychic sciences were convened and
experiences were exchanged by teachers and students from more than 50 universities
and colleges and research workers from specialized research organizations.
5. We established a mass academic body - The China Human Science Research
Commission Preparatory Committee. 6. We received the broad support of the older
generation of scientists with Comrade Qian Xue-Lin as a representative-as well as
support from all walks of life. September 1981 to June 1982 was the third stage.

This was the struggle stage. It began with the publication of the major points
of Comrade Yu Guang-Yuan's speech in the "Wen Hui Bao." Some people labelled
human psychic science research as "running counter to marxism," "Idealism,"
"Fuedal Sorcery," and "The Researchers are a Bunch of Idiots."
They believed that human psychic ability was "magic" or "trickery." In
February of 1982 Yu Guang-Yuan made a report to the Academy of Science which
was published in Toto in the "Peoples' Daily," along with a public overall
rejection of human psychic Research. On the other hand, the China Human
Sciences Preparatory Commission felt that human psychic capabilities were
reality in a subjective existence, and that it should be researched. The
commission requested the national science committees to divide up into two
sides and conduct a scientific verification. Articles continued to be pub-
lished in journals such as "Natural Science," "Exploring Nature," and "Human
Psychic Ability Bulletin." Joint experiments were conducted by personnel from
some of the major universities and scientific research units. Results of these
reports were reported. They felt that the question of the existence of human
psychic abilities was a question of practice. The results of the experiments
were reliable, and can be reproduced. The psychic abilities of "Distinguishing
Characters by Ear," "Teleportation,": "Psychic Writing," and "Breaking Through
the Barrier of Space" exist objectively. Under the support of the leader from
the National Defense Industries Commission, Comrade Zhang Zhen-Huan, the
results of the experiments were reported to the Central Committee Propaganda
Department, Party Schools, as well as the leaders of the Party Central. In
April and June of 1982, documents were issued by the Central Committee
Propaganda Department. These documents pointed out that this research could
continue to be carried out, thus putting a stop to this argument. The fourth
stage began in June of 1982. This is the stage of thorough research. In
November of 1982, the Third Session of the.Preparatory Commission was convened..
Here plans were made for research work andexchange work. In April of 1983, the
"Academic Symposium on the Human Body Functions" was convened in Kumming. In
June of the same year an "Academic Discussion Conference on Quantum Physics and
Human Science" was held. in Beijing. In September of the same year the Fourth
Preparatory Commission Meeting was convened in Huhehaote in Neimenggu, where
more specific arrangements were made for each type of work. At present, we are
trying to get a grasp on more thorogoing research, attempting to make some
breakthroughs in our experiments.
Looking back over the achievements in research of human psychic functions
over the past five years, Zhu Run-Long felt that they were:
1. The existence of these abilities
2. The latent universality and its inducibility
3. Multiplicity of its manifestations
4. Physiological changes in those with psychic abilities
5. Physical observation of strange phenomena of objects toward
which the psychic energy is directed

6. Initial probing of the observation of the mechanics
7. Relationship between human psychic functions and Qigong
8. Theoretical research on Comrade Qian Xue-Lin's theory of
the human psychic state
9. Research into an even larger human-universe concept
10. Effect of human psychic functions on philosophy
11 Research into social implications of human psychic functions
II. Academic Exchanges: Having dedicated publications - "Research of the
Human Psychic Functions," and "Latent Human Abilities." We have scheduled
national and regional conferences for exchanges, and have attended some inter-
national academic exchanges.
III. Organization: We have a force of researchers, and we have begun to form
aforce o_`_spec1aTized researchers. Our leadership structure is beginning to
take on dimensions.
When speaking of the present time, Comrade Zhu Rui-Long said that at first
this research caught the attention of the leaders of the Party Central Committee.
This amply reflects the superiority of the socialist system. Under the leadership
of the party, research into the human psychic functions will snreyo~urjs7n

standing of the parents of psychic children has been raised, and they are willing
to make sacrifices for the research of human science. However, there are also
some detrimental aspects. In most units, this kind of researc has not been in-

to assure the health of psychic children or to guarantee theii promotion in schpol.
We have not been able to gain social acceptance for the time, titles, promotions,
and work of scientific researchers. These are problems which we will have to
?olve"fn the future.
Finally, Comrade Zhu Run-Long said that we are full of confidence for the
future. We have to take full advantage of the situation, overcome obstacles,
and create our own conditions, suit measures to local conditions, work dili-
gently, and in the wave of the new technological revolution, make some contribu-
tions for the four modernizations.
Next, Comrade Zhou-Pu,_ manain& director of the Sichuan Provincial Human
Science Research Committee, gave a report on the work in Sichuan on research
work on human psychic functions over the last five years. Comrade Zhou Meng-

technical personnel were tireless in their efforts. They have made very pleas-
ing progress in "Recognizing Chinese Characters by Ear," "Teleportation," "Rela-

efforts would be redoubled in the future to do an even better job of human
science research in Sichuan.
Amidst enthusiastic applause, Sichuan Provincial Political-Commissar and
Secretary Yang Chao-Tong gave a speech. He spoke first of the new technological
revolution, then he switched his topic to human science. He believes that human
science is: 1. A combination of biological science, life science, and human
science - a new field of science. It is the finest of complex systems. 2. It
is a composite science made up of natural science and social science. 3. It is a
new science composed of electronics, systematic science, and human science.
Therefore, we must move faster and conscientiously carry out research on human
science. He said that gaining the knowledge that we have today was a develop-
mental process.
Next, Comrade Yang Chao-Tong of what we should do in the future. He
believes that: 1. The present foundation of human science research must be
deepened and broadened. We must conscientiously analyze the present state of
traditional Chinese medicine, Qigong, human psychic functions, and brain science. 2.
Then we must find ways to make breakthroughs and continue to persist in our
storming the fortification battle. We must combine electronics and human brain
science. I especially emphasize the joint research of computers and the human
brain. We must use computers to analyze human brain functions. We must absorb a
large number of people who have studied electronics and use them in human science
research. We must emphasize the circulation of talent. 3. We must pay a great
deal of attention to inducing psychic functions. He believes that this inducing
work is very important. That it is the primary guarantee for research and experi-
mentation in the human psychic functions. He specifically proposed the adoption
of the three following procedures - traditional induction, Qigong induction, and
information induction. He also expounded on these three types of induction.
To facilitate the development of induction work, he suggested adding attached
middle schools to traditional Chinese medicine universities and colleges, and
consciously accept a number of children with psychic abilities, cultivating them
in depth. 4. From our present state of being partially out in the open, we must
work toward becoming completely open. Make it become part of the (national)
plan. He believes that it will take another three to five years for this to be
completed nationally.
Comrade Yang Chao-Tong feels that the reason we have been moving slowly is
because of the interference we have encountered. If we ignore human science
research, then we are apt to fall behind in the wave of the new technological
revolution. Comrade Yang Chao-Tong also emphasized solidarity. He hopes that all

of our country's research strength can be forged into a single cable. Like the
eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing his or her special prowess, but
also with a single, common goal.
Comrade Yang Chao-Tong also suggested.that the Sichuan Provincial Human
Science Research Committee could publish a "Bulletin" and some briefs.. He
hopes that the Provincial Science Commission and the Science Association will
support human science research work.
Finally, Comrade Yang Chao-Tong excited and inspired us when he said human
science is a science which is an amalgamation of things old and new., Chinese
and foreign. It is possible that the breakthrough will come in. China. There-
fore, there is a.very bright future for this research. I want to congratulate in
advance each and every one of you seated here for your even greater achievements
which will bring glory to our Chinese Peoples Republic. The speech by Conrade
Yang Chao-Tong stirred wave and wave of applause.
Also speaking at the meeting was the Deputy Chairman of the Provincial
Science Committee, Zhang Ting-Yu; Advisor, Huang Liu; Provincial Science
Association Chairman, Xie Li-Hui; Deputy of the Provincial Health Department,
Ren Chang-Fang; Editor-in-Chief of the "Peoples Daily", Li. Ban-Li; and Comrade
Wu Wen-Wu who came here from Neimenggu at special request.
That afternoon, an academic reporting conference was held. Comrades from
the Chengdu Telecommunications Engineering Institute, Sichuan University, and
the Chengdu Institute of the Academy of Sciences gave individual briefing on
their recent research. Beijing Delegate He Qing-Nian and Qian Xin-Sha also
spoke. In addition to members of the Sichuan Provincial Human Sciences Research
Committee, Comrades Gu Ying-Wu and Zhai Tian from Anhui; member of the Yunnan
Provincial Science Association and Deputy'Chief of the Yunnan Chinese Medicine
College, Yang Xue-Ren. The "Sichuan Daily" reporter who was the first to report
the human psychic function phenomenon, Zhang Nai-Ming, also attended the con-
ference.
On the same day, commemorative activities were also held in Chongqing.
More than 140 people attended meetings there. The meeting was presided over by
Comrade Deng Er-Xin of the Chongqing University. Comrade Du Wen-Cheng, Deputy
Chairman of the Chongqing Science Association spoke at the meeting. Reports
were made by Comrades Zhin Shu-Ran of the China Human Science Research Com-
mission (preparatory), Feng Bao-Wei of the Chongqing University, and Huang Xi-
Ting of the Southwest Normal College. First to be discovered and reported in
China, Tang Yu (he is now in middle school) and his father were taken to
Chongqing to attend the meeting. Before the meeting concluded, Tang Yu and other
psychic children were presented with momentoes and respects and appreciation
was shown to their parents.

Yongchuan special district where Tang Yu's home town. is also held
commemorative activities. Those attending discussed what had happened over
the last five years. They unanimously stated that they would give their best
personal efforts to continue human science research.
In Beijing, comrades.Zhang Zhen-Bao, Qian Xue-Lin, Lyu Bing-Kui, and
Professor Yang Long-Sheng, who have all along been supporting and concerned with
this research, attended meetings. Comrade Chen Bai-Laing from Beijing University
who had recently undergone surgery also came to attend the meeting. Comrade
Wang Chu Who attended the first Human Psychic function Science Discussion Con-
ference, as well as Comrades Liu Yi-Ming, Lin Shu-Huang, and Zhang Zong-Qi also
were there. Also attending were comrades Chen Xin and Mei Lei who had attended
the International Academic Conference hosted by Bridge University in England,
indefatigable researchers Yang Jian-Hua, Liu Yi-Cheng, Xu Bin-Zhang, and Cao Jian
from the Academy of Chinese Medicine System, as well as research workers from
the Aerospace Medicine Engineering Institute, Beijing University, and Beijing
Normal College. Furthermore, parents of psychic children who have supported
this research from the beginning, Jiang Zi-Xun and Wang Wen-Hua, were also there.
Jiang Yan, who was just an eight year old girl five years ago, also came. She
was the first child in Beijing who was discovered to have the ability to
"distinguish Chinese characters by ear following the "Sichuan Daily" publication
of Tang Yu's psychic abilities. Accompanying her were Wang Qiang and Wang Wu,
red faced children with sparkling eyes who. thirst for knowledge. Comrade Zhang
Zhen-Bao borrowed a Chinese idiom to describe the meeting - the virtuous are all
assembled here, both young and old. If the "virtuous" may be described as those
intellectuals who wish to.make some contribution to the Chinese people, then this
is an accurate description of the attitude of those attending.
Comrade Lin Shu-Huang, member of the Standing Committee for the China Human
Science Research Preparatory Commission gave the opening address. Then Comrade
Wang Chu gave a report on psychic testing. He reported on the results of psychic
testing of two psychic children during last summer vacation and this spring.
vacation by himself together with Comrades Chen Bao-Liang, Liu Yi-Cheng, Yang
Jian-Hua with the cooperation of Comrades Luo Cheng-Lie and Liu Gui-Lin of the
Qufu Normal College in Shandong. Contents of the test were the ability to see
something on the other side of a wall or in another building and the ability to
make out messages. The procedures of the testing were very strict, the results
were positive and repeatable under specific conditions. However, they feel they
have to conduct another series of tests before they can make a judgment. They
are planning to continue testing during summer vacation this year.
There was an atmosphere of cordiality and enthusiasm at the meeting. Com-
rade Chen Bao-Liang, member of the Standing Committee of the China Human Science
Research Preparatory Commission enthusiastically stated that the reporting of
Tang Yu's ability to "distinguish Chinese characters by ear" was a very impor-
tant event. It drew the attention of China's scientific circles, and research
was begun. Although we have had many difficulties and setbacks over the past
five years, the correct policies of the Party Central and the State Council have

allowed us to persist and filled us with confidence.. I believe that in this
research of ours, we are. moving in the forefront of human knowledge. Recently,
with the approval of the State Council, the State Science Commission published
six policies. The first of these points out that: "Do not view new accomplish-
ments created by contemporary mankind as heresay." A famous biologist gave
encouragement to me and Comrade He Mu-Yan several times. He said, "You must
keep on going." Many of the older instructors at Beijing. University also support
this work. Therefore, no matter how difficult things become, we will persist.
Naturally, we must not be too impatient. It is going to be a long struggle.
All those attending were greatly interested in China Aerospace Medicine
Engineering Institute's Comrade Song Kong-Zhi's briefing on experiments on
"Obstacles to Breakthroughs in Space." Comrade Chen Xin, Standing Committee
Member of the China Human Science Preparatory Commission,spoke next. He said
that this work of ours has garnered the support of our leaders. Deputy Director
Qian has given us much direction on scientific research methods and styles of
work. Director Zhang Zhen-Bao and other leading comrades have paid a great deal
of attention to this work. The major question at the present.time.is whether the
phenomenon we are studying is actually real. Here, I can once again declare that
the experiments we have conducted prove that these phenomenon are real. We
conducted our own experiments repeating the work done by.the comrades of the
Beijing Normal College. Prior to the Second All-China Human Psychic Functions
Science Symposium, Deputy Director Qian emphasized, "We must direct human psychic
research so it is done in a scientific manner." We have done just this. If we
hold another conference like this five.years from now, I do believe there will
be some great changes.
Professor Zhao Zhong-Yao spoke very happily. He said this work of ours is
very important. On the other hand, it is very difficult. Being both important
and difficult, it is of great significance.,' This research includes the human
factor, which is different from the physical experiments of the past. This is
a new kind of work. The first step is to verify its reliability. The second
step is to clarify exactly what it is. For example, how is the information
carried? A lot of time will have to be spent clarifying this. We must dis-
cover its laws to develop new knowledge. The first step has already been taken,
and we are on the second step. Attention must be paid to researching its
applicability. For example, its uses in medicine. Say there is something in
the body. If we can see what it is, this is very useful. There are many other
aspects which are worthwhile researching. Sadly, I am too old; otherwise, I
would be taking part in this research. I come now to listen, and I am very happy.
Grey haired Professor Yang Long-Sheng said that he and Comrade Yu Guang-Yuan
were classmates in school, and Professor Zhao Zhong-Yao was our teacher. I
believe that if we can resolve this question of human psychic abilities, I believe
that it will be even greater than the theory of relativity, and it would have even
greater effects. It would mean many changes for mankind. Not only physical
changes, but ideological and philosophical changes as well.

Even though the time was approaching noon, everyone was still very atten-
tive. Finally, Comrade Zhang Zhen-Bao offered the following thoughts on the
situation at present and what should be done in the future. He said that we are
a group of people struggling to ferment a new scientific revolution. We have
laid a little foundation, but that foundation is not solid enough. We have
accomplished the following: The first stage has been completed. This was the
struggle with Comrade Yu Guang-Yuan. He lost. This is symbolized by the six
policies which were announced at the All-China Scientific Work Conference and
approved by the State Council. Within these six policies, it is said that:
"In natural science and technical work do-not raise opposition to spiritual
pollution." Comrade Yu Guang-Yuanin, in the 1982 "Philosophy Yearbook," wrote
a special article accusing. human psychic research as being spiritual pollution,
Comrade Yu Guang-Yuan did not abide by this stipulation, so his defeat was
preordained. This was because he ran counter to the idealectics of materialism.
We cannot compromise on questions of principle. We are standing on firm ground,
because we have a basis of facts. It will be a long time before we know how to
explain these facts. It will require painstaking efforts. There will be more
struggles yet to come. We need not be affaid. We have fought to do this. Any
new progress will depend on solid experimental work. We also need theoretical
work. This is even more difficult. How many years did it take Newton and
Einstein? Of course, we have Marxism, the thought of Mao 7e-Dong, and the
superiority of the socialist system. We will advance more rapidly. We have al-
ready seen some results in our experiments. In the future, we need to do our
research work very solidly. Also, we must collect, a broad range of material.
There is so much material that we have not collected. Exactly what is it that
psychics can do? We do not understand nearly enough. There are lots of unsub-
stantiated stories that have to be conscientiously checked out. Also, is
psychic ability in actuality a function of the brain? Is it purely a function
of the brain? There are differing . opinionson this and it should be thoroughly
checked out. We are experimenting on people. This is very complicated. It
is not like experimenting on physical objects. Therefore,.material must be
gathered very carefully. In investigation and research, we must have a division
of labor. Each person must work on one specific area. He must not try to do
the whole thing. At the same time we must recognize that there is a major role
for the leaders, especially for the leaders at the higher level. In my position,
I can only play a small part. I have to work for the leaders, let them see for
themselves. I have to get financial support. There are quite a few people
coming from foreign countries for exchanges. We have to look into this, see
which ones we may conduct exchanges with, and which ones we may not.
That three hour conference was really a concentration of knowledge. The
general feeling was one of solidity, depth, and solidarity. Moving forward toward
one goal. This was expressed by Comrade Lin Shu-Huang just before the meeting
ended when he said the message from this meeting was taken to the central meeting
in Chengtu by delegates which went there. That was that we ernestly hope that we
may form like a national chess board and expand our work in this newly opened field
of knowledge with better leadership, better organization, and better planning.

The Shanghai Municipal Human Science Committee convened a large scale
academic reporting conference at the Shanghai Transportation University on
March 3rd. Among those attending were members of the Shanghai Human Science
Committee, and research workers from the. universities and colleges and research
units. Also attending were cadre from party and government agencies, parents
of psychic children and people from-all walks of life who are concerned with
human science. More than 400 people attended in all.
The meeting was presided over by the responsible person of the Shanghai
Human Science Committee, Comrade Zhu Yi-Hi. She said that the March 11, 1979,
"Sichuan Daily" publication of Tang'Yu's ability to "Recognize Chinese Characters
by Ear" aroused widespread attention. In order to explore the secrets of the
human psychic functions, human science research work in China has gradually
developed within certain limits. This meeting we are holding in Shanghai today
is in the spirit of the Fourth Preparatory Committee Meeting for the China
Human Science Commission. This is a branch meeting. The main meeting is in
Chengdu, Sichuan. Chairman He Zong-Yu of the China Human Sciences Commission
(preparatory) went back over the last five years of human science research in
China. He said that over the last five years human science research has travelled
over a rough and bumpy road. Because the existence of human psychic functions
is an objective fact, people have gradually paid more attention to it. Most of
all has been China's famous old professor Qian Xue-Lin, and leader of China
Defense Science Industries Commission, Zhang Zhen-Huan who have given us their
support. Researcher workers from colleges and universities all over China and
workers from scientific research units continued to: carry out research. Parents
and teachers of psychic children actively cooperated. Over the past five years,
we have already had a number of achievements.
She said that these five years can be.broken down into four stages. The
first stage was a discovery stage - the half year from March to August of 1979.
On March 11, 1979, the "Sichuan Daily" published an article on the child from
Dazu County in Sichuan, one Tang Yu who could distinguish Chinese characters by
ear. After this was verified and reported, Secretary of the Sichuan Provincial
Party Committee, Comrade Yang Chao, personally carried out some tests on Tang Yu.
Thereafter, children with similar abilities were discovered in various parts of
China. Because these things were so contrary to ordinary knowledge, "Peoples
Daily" and some other people rose up in opposition and refuted it. The second
stage was the development stage. It lasted about two years, from September 1979
to September 1981. In July of 1979, representatives from the "Natural Science"
magazine went to Beijing to attend a meeting on Qigong scientific research. At
the meeting, he heard that several children with psychic abilities had been
discovered in Beijing. Together with some science workers who had attended the
meeting, they tested these children. They repeatedly carried out many experi-
ments with two of these children. They verified the fact that-these psychic
abilities actually existed. When they returned, they published several relevant
articles about this in the September issue of "Natural Science" and in following
issues, demonstrating the reality of these abilities. This attracted even more

scientific workers interested in this work and the interest of people from all
walks of life. All at once newspapers,. magazines, movies and television were
all reporting on this. Psychic children continued to be found. Comrade Qian
Xue-Lin visited the editorial department of the "Natural Science" magazine.
He gave them his support in this work. Following the suggestion of old'Qian,
the China Human Science Commission Preparatory Committee was established. The
third stage was a stage of controversy. It lasted from September 1981 to June
of 1982, about six months. Because of several not too accurate reports at that
time,'a social controversy was aroused. Comrades with opposing viewpoints
believed that psychic abilities was trickery, magic, and.ran counter to Marxism.
On Septemver 26, the,"Wen Hui Pao" published a speech by Comrade Yu Guang-Yuan.
Following this, a full text of Yu Guang-Yuan's speech was published in
"Knowledge is Strength." In the face of this, the China Human Science. Commission
convened its second preparatory meeting. They unanimously believed that they
should respect the-truth, and that the research work should continue.. With the
support of the leader of the National Defense Science Industries Commission,
Comrade Zhangzhen-Huan, psychic children gave demonstrations in the central
propaganda department, party schools, and for comrades Ye Jian-Ying and Fang Li.
Scientific research personnel from universities and colleges all over China and
from more than twenty units from science research agencies carried out joint
testing of psychic children from all over.China. And,once?again they proved
that this ability actually exists. In.June of 1982, following all the efforts
described above, the central propaganda department issued a document that pointed
out that this kind of research work could continue. This brought an end to the
controversy. The fourth stage is the -present stage of going even deeper. From
the last half of. 1982 until today,_it has been more than a year. Looking back
over this journey, we can see the crooked path that we travelled. Through diffi-
culties and hard work, we gained the support of the leaders, and that is how we
are where we are today.
As for what we have reaped in the past five years, Comrade He Zong-Yu said
that we have had an abundant harvest over the past five years. 1. In scientific
experiments we have demonstrated the reality of the human psychic function, as
well as its universality, inducibility, and multiplicity; changes in physio-
logical phenomenon of EEG, blood flow, temperature of main and collaterial
channels and accupuncture points, and the (Chinese medicine) pulse condition;
changes in the physical phenomenon of light, electricity, magnetism, and radio-
activity. With various types of testing, a valuable amount of data has been
accumulated on all of these. 2. On the theoretical aspect, Professor Qian Xue-
Lin has proposed the theory of "The Human Functional State." The proposal of this
theory has summarized all of the phenomena we have seen, and it draws a clear
line between all sorts of mystics and agnostics. It has laid a foundation for our
research work. 3. Organizationally, we have already formed our research forces,
and our leadership structure has already reached certain dimensions.

As for the work in the future, Comrade He Zong-Yu said that there is a
future of development for this research work. The leaders are paying a lot of
attention to it. Everything depends on our doing sure and steady work. Even
if there are great difficulties in our work, ideologically we should be confident
of early results.
Following the conclusion of comrades Ho Zong-Yu's speech, there were academic
exchanges. Professor Zhou Ying-Qi of the Shanghai Aquatic Products College and
Professor Zhang Ming of the Shanghai Physical Education College represented the
Shanghai Institutes of Higher Learning Joint Research Group in giving reports
on "The Optics Phenomenon of the Human Psychic Function" and "Training to Induce
Psychic Functions in"Adults (college students)." Comrade Chen Bi-Tong repre-
sented the Shanghai team for using Qigong to prevent and cure nearsightedness
and gave a report on "The Effectiveness of Using Qigong to Prevent and Cure Near-
sightedness."
Finally, Comrade Shu Wen, advisor to the Shanghai Higher Education Bureau,
gave an address. He said that after hearing the previous reports, he was full of
exceitement. He said he hopes that we will be able to persevere in this kind of
research work, and that we will keep on having success. He said that there will
always be differences of opinions on each new thing when it first comes out.
There is nothing strange about this. We must believe in the reality of its
objective existence, but we must also allow others to express their doubts until
we have clarified just exactly what it is. These doubts may be used as an in-
centive for our work. Of course we are opposed to those people who come down
with a big stick., put labels on us, or are subjective and preemptory. He pointed
out that we should not play down our own personal achievements, but neither should
we be too overboard in our ideas on things that have not yet been verified. This
is the only way to guarantee the smooth progress of our research efforts.
After the meeting, a video of research on the human psychic functions was
shown at the audiovisual classroom. More than 400 attenders excitedly watched the
video on Chinese and foreign research.
XINJIANG - The snow has melted and the spring returns. In the southern part
of the country, there are nice balmy spring days. In China's western frontier

struments Department, reviewed the human science research work over the past five
years. Qian Jiang-Hu and Zeng Shu-Shi, who are parents of psychic children,
represented parents of psychic children and spoke on their behalf. They, ex-
pressed their indignation at people who slandered them as "frauds." They
promised to support resolutely human psychic research in the future, just as they
have done in the past, and to work hard for China's four modernizations. At
the meeting, five psychic children gave demonstrations on "recognizing Chinese
characters by ear," reading a closed book, and teleportation - pulling out a
watch. All were successful. Those attending the meeting expressed their hearty
congratulations, and held a heated discussion on these phenomena.

BREAKING THROUGH THE OBSTACLES OF SPACE FOR PSYCHIC WRITING AND SEAL AFFIXING
By: He Qin-Nian (Beijing Municipal Chinese Medicine Research Institute)
In the "Joint Experiment Report on the Reality of Human.Psychic Functions"
there were records of tests carried out on "V's ability to do "psychic writing."
The author of this article took part in making up the samples. The test at that
time was to take a blank sheet of paper which the tester would sign, roll it up
into a tube around a ball point-pen, and fold back both ends. This would be placed
on the table in front.of the person being tested with three people watching at the
same time. "Z" was only allowed to pick up the tube and smell it. Then he had to
put it back on the desk. He was not allowed to open the tube. Then "Z" was given
a fountain pen and another.blank sheet of paper. After "Z" had written on the
second sheet of paper and stated that he had written'the same thing on.the piece
of paper rolled up around the ball point pen, the observers opened the rolled paper.
It was discovered that what "Z" had written on the second sheet of paper with a
fountain pen was also written of the signed sheet of paper in ball point pen. The
style of the characters was also ..very similar. To. do further testing to determine
if "Z"'s psychic writing..could`break through the barriers of space,'; thiseexperiment
used a sealed envelope. The results of this test are recorded below.
Methods:
"Z" sat in front of a desk, observer Wang Pin-Shan (Director of the Acu unc-
tureDepartment of the Liaoning College of Chnese Medicine sat to the front and
left of "Z". The other three observers Yu Shu-Zhuans--KDeputy Director of the Acu-
puncture Department of the Beijing College of Chinese Medicine), Xan.Jiang-Zhneg
(Researcher of the China Academy of Science Atmospheric Ph ysics Research Institute
and He Qing-Niansat around and-'behind -'rZ" . See Diagram 1.
In order to make a comparison between a sealed test and an unsealed test, a
sheet of lined stationery was folded three times (with the lined side to the out-
side) and placed in front of "Z" on the desk. Both sides of the paper were checked
to make sure nothing had been written on them. "Z" was given a ball point. pen. and
another sheet of paper. On the other sheet of paper, "Z" wrote in cursive script.
The present time was 4:30 in the afternoon of January 22, 1983.
What "Z" wrote was "How are you? Thank you.teacher." He also signed his name. At
this time observer Wang Pin-Shan opened up the sheet of folded stationery in front
of "Z". On the lined side of the paper he saw "How are you? Thank you teacher"
written in.ball point pen. 'T's signature was also there. The penmanship of the
two were similar. The back of the paper was checked once more. It was blank.
After He Qing-Nian and Yu Shu-Zhuang repeated the experiment, another sheet of
lined paper was folded and placed into a manilla envelope. On the face of the
envelope was printed "Beijing Natural Diagnostics Research Committee" in red

letters. After the paper was placed in the envelope, He Qing-Nian used glue to
seal the envelope. On the spur of-the moment he.also took out his personal ivory
stamp and affixed his stamp along the horizontal. seam of the envelope. After this
was verified by the other observers, the envelope was placed on the desk in front
of "Z". Being watched all the time, "Z" picked up a ball point pen and on the
front of the envelope wrote "How are you? Thank you teacher." Then he took He Qing-
Nian's stamp and stamped the back of the envelope forcefully several times. The
location of these stamps is shown in Diagram 2. When this was completed, "Z"
waited 'a little while, and then handed the envelope to the observers. The time
was 5:15.

Diagram 2
Stamps' 1, 2, 3, and 4 were on the face of the envelope (solid lines) and stamps 5
and 6 were on the paper inside the envelope (dotted lines).
Results:
The observers inspected the envelope, and verified that the envelope had not
been tampered with. Then the envelope was slit open across the face along the
middle line. The paper was taken out, and it was discovered that on the paper
was written "How are you? Thanks, teacher." There were also two stamps on the
bottom. (See Diagram 3). On the back of the paper were still the words "Z" had
written earlier "How are you? Thank you..teacher", as well as his signature, thus
proving that it was the same sheet of paper that had originally been placed in the
envelope so no switch had taken place. The side of the paper with lines showed
two stamp markings (both were the marks of the ivory stamp).
By comparing the handwriting it can be seen that the characters on what had

been the blank side of the paper in the sealed envelope are very similar to the
characters "Z" directly wrote with the ball point pen. They are both 'T's hand-
writing. Checking the stamp imprint on the stationery, the size and shape is ex-
actly the same as those on the outside of the envelope. The location of the stamp
markings on the stationery are not the same as those on the envelope. (See Diagram

The entire experiment lasted less than one hour. None of the observers ever
left the area. "Z", the person being tested, remained seated in his original
position while performing the psychic writing. The entire desk was within the
observers' field. of vision. None of the four observers noticed "Z" doing anything
suspicious. This was the third time this experiment was carried out. The former
two occasions had similar results.
Discussion:
The results of the experiment shows: Even using a sealed. envelope, "Z". can
use psychic writing to write on paper sealed in an envelope, as well as marking
stamp the same way. This experiment suggests that it tie worth while investigating
whether or not psychic writing may toe place outside of 'normal space and t

In testing 'T's ability to overcome the obstacles of space, we repeatedly
used the sealed envelope test for observation. We discovered that,," Z" could ex-
tract the entire sheet of stationery from the Sealed, envelope with the simplest.
of movements while he was being directly observed. For example, one time the
author of this article took a meeting notice, folded it twice, placed it in a
manilla envelope, and used glue to seal the envelope. Associate professor Dai
Ru-Fu of the Haerb n Indust University and two other people were present when
the envelope was sealed. They checked that the envelope was well sealed. Then
the envelope was handed to "Z". "Z" used the thumb and_forefinger of each hand
to grasp the twoNVends~of` the envelope. Heheld the envelope up over his head and
into the "light from a window. The light was very good from the observers' stand-
point. We could directly observe the slightest move made.by "Z". Because-the
t was`able to slightly penetrate the envelope, we were able to see the outline
of the paper inside the envelope very clearly. It was at this time that "Z" said,
o you see the paper-moving?" All three observers saw the paper in the sealed,
envelope slowly move upwards. At this time we fingers holding the
enveaope-,very, closely, and they did not move at all. When the paper had moved up
(against gravity) all the way to the top of the envelope, "Z" pulled his hands a-
part.and all of a sudden the paper came out. (His left hand was still clutching
the"' envelope and his right hand was holding the paper,) We immediately inspected
t"[e`condition of the envelope, and it had not been altered in any way By holding
the-envelope up into the it could be seen that the paper was gone Upon inspection,
the paper that "Z" was holding in his right hand was~ truly the same meeting notice
that had been sealed in the, envelope. I _Qrder.to observe_the _everse process
(placing a paper into a sealed envelope) Dang Qun, a researcher from""tie Academy of
Science Biophysics Research Institute sealed a manilla envelope and handed it to "Z".
With observers to his front-, back, left, and right, "Z" picked up the'envelope in
his left hand and picked up a color photograph (one of a kind) in his right hand.
Tien he lightly pressed it against the bottom of the envelope. He squeezed several
t' mes with his fingers, and in a few seconds the picture disappeared. Upon inspec-
tion, the seal of the envelope had not been broken. The envelope, was cut open and
the one of a kind color, photograph was inside. During the entire process 'T's
movements were very simple. From the time the envelope was handed to "Z", it
never left the observer's field of vision. The entire process (from the time "Z"
took the envelope, picked up the picture, until the picture was inside the envelope)
was no more than a few minutes, eliminating the possibility of opening and reseal-
ing the envelope, so we can only surmise that "Z" used psychic powers to move the
picture inside the sealed envelope. This kind ofperceptual knowledge from direct
observatioa_,._after repeating many times, forced the observers to consider: -the
envelope sealed in 3 -dimensional space was no hindrance to,_.."Z"'_s:-psychic abilities.
"Z can use these psychic abilities to overcome obstacles of space to quickly ex-
tract a piece of paper from a sealed envelope, or to reverse the process to place
something into a sealed 'envelope, or to cause writing on a blank piece of paper in
a sealed envelope. During the process of these experiments, there was a speeding

ship between this expenditure of energy and the manifestation of psychic powers.
At present, very little is understood about this. Af er the.psychic_r " ty ex-
periments described.. above., were finished, "Z" was not especially tired. He talked
and laughed easily. It maybe supposed that the energy expended by psychic func-
tions is not too great for the human body. Generally, it seems to be relatively
small. Normally, "Z" cannot complete psychic tests at will. He sometimes has to
wait several hours or longer to successfully perform an experiment that only takes
a few minutes. This shows that certain. conditions are necessary to move from the
st ate to state. Amon these conditions whether or not the

p g g to do it. This kind of sjective will is one of
the foremostconditions. If the person being tested is subjectively unwilling,
no psychic abilities will be manifested. However, if the person being tested is
subjectively willing, after a period of preparation., a psychic state. often appears.
This 'point illustrates that theFsubjective will (cerebral activities) is a crucial
link in the appearance of the psychic state (but not the only link). Researchers
from the Chna Aerospace Medicine Research Institute ha used an EEG to record
changes in the brain waves of psychic children while using psychic powers to cause
ob eats _ tp move.. There were.__ ea an of inite changes. This kind of'_ change is
similar to the change when a.Qigong master goes-into a Qigong functional state.
This shows that there is a definite pattern. It is not completely random. ,At_
present we know very little about the pattern of going from ?a normal state to a
psychic state. The experiment of breaking through the.space barriers to conduct
psychic writing illustrates that once a psychic state is achieved, it seems the
psychic is not restricted by normal 3-dimensional space. This is something that
should be researched.

AN EXPERIMENT ON USING PSYCHIC POWERS TO BREAK NEEDLES AND MAKING THEM WHOLE AGAIN
By: Lin Shu-Lu (Beijing Normal College)
Liu Mo-Sheng (Beijing Iron and Steel Research Institute)
There have already been several research reports on experiments on using
psychi, powers to bend iron wire and break wooden sticks and making them whole
again' This article reports the results of an,_experiment conducted on using
psychic power`-foTbreak'needles and_making them whole again in April of 1981.
Design:
In order to eliminate any false. appearance, and to guarantee the strict-
ness of the experiment, the experiment was designed to satisfy the following
conditions:
1. The test object :(including the test object and the sealed container) must
have several unique characteristics.
2. The container is sealed in an irreversable manner.
3. The experiment is closely monitored by more than one person.
Making the Test Objects:
11 Test Objects.
We selected at random a steel sewing needle of about lmm diameter. We used
callipers to measure its total length I. Then we broke the needle into two parts
(See diagram 1). We then measured the lengths L1 and L2. The person conducting
the experiment kept L2, and L1 was used as the test object. After it was psychic-
ly broken, a magnifying glass. was used to match up the break between Lland L2, and
the length was check to make sure it was the same needle.

ANALYSIS OF TESTS ON THE TRANSMISSION OF SENSATIONS THROUGH CHANNELS IN 25
PSYCHIC CHILDREN
By: Li Guan-Jun, Li Jing, Zhao Guo-Xin, and Huang Gu. (Changchun School of
Chinese Medicine)
. In our process of testing child psychic Liu (X), we made the initial
discovery that in his recognition of characters he was using transmission of
sensations through channels, and sending it to the brain. This is how he is
able to reecognize characters. To demonstrate this discovery, we tested 25
other child psychics, and the results of our observation follows:
PERSONS TESTED: This was a group of 25 psychic children. After repeated
tests, all showed relatively strong psychic powers. The group consisted of 3
boys and 22 girls. The oldest was 15 years old and the youngest was 7. With
the exception of one preschoool youngster, all were middle school or elementary
school students. The majority were in the third or fourth year of elementary
school. They were of normal intelligence, and their marks above average.
DATE OF TEST: From April to July of 1981.
LOCATION OF TESTS: At various times in Hailong and Huadian counties of
Jilin municipality, Qiqihaerh municipality, Fulaerjibeiman Steel Mill, and
Tongliao municipality, Ganqika Huolinho Animal Husbandry Farm in Neimenggu.
Room temperature was 15.5 to 27.5 degrees centigrade.
PARTS TESTED: The testing was done along the channels, with the test card
placed on the left "laogong" accupoint (wrist).
TESTING PROCEDURE: Prior to testing someone took rectangular cards 5.5 X
6.5 cm and used a fountain pen, brush, or ball point pen to write red, blue, or
black "test card" horizontally or vertically on the cards. The cards were then
stacked and placed ina rectangular envelope in ready for use. Prior to the
experiment, each of the categories to be tested was measured and recorded.
During the test, one of the test cards was drawn at random from the envelope
using the "double blind" method (neither tester nor person being tested knows
what is on the card). The card was placed on the "laogong" accupoint and the
feelings and reactions of the person being tested were recorded on a tape
recorder. After recognition, each of the categories being observed was measured
and recorded. Also, the person being tested ws asked to write out whether he
saw the card as being red, blue or black and whether it was written horizontally
or vertically.
On those whose abilities were stronger, and recognized the cards faster (the
average time was ten minutes) we placed an air bag on the upper left arm to
conduct a channel blockage test. During the blockage, the blood pressure
indicator was stabilized at the pressure of the systolic pulse.. The time of
blockage used the time required for recognition as the standard.

1. Skin Temperatures: A Shanghai transistor body thermometer was used to
measure the temperature of the various accupoints along the heart channel before
and after recognition.
2. Current Along the Channel: We used a channel electricity measuring
device produced by the Beijing Aerospace College to measure the current at the
various accupoints before placing the test card, and after recognition. These
values were recorded for comparison.
3. Blood Pressure: We used a metered Sphygmomanometer to measure changes
in the blood pressure from the time of placing the test card and after
recognition. These values were recorded for comparison.
4. Pulse Rate: We placed a stethoscope on the chest outside the ventricles
and measured the differences in pulse rates before placing the test card and
after recognition. These values were recorded for comparison.
5. Blood Flow Graph: We used a blood flow charting instrument produced in
Jilin with the standard resistance set at 0.1 ohm. The outgoing signal was
patched up to a domestically produced Shanghai electrocardiograph. Two silver
plated brass plates were used to measure both the blood flow of the brain and
that of the arm. The plate for the arm was placed outside the "neiguan" and the
"kongzui" accupoints, and that for the brain was placed on the forehead and the
protrubance behind the ear. Before placing these plates, the skin was cleansed
with alcohol and a cotton swab, and then rinsed with a biological salt solution.
Electrocardiograms were taken both before placing the test card and after
recognition. These were analyzed for differences.
RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENT:
1. Transmission of Sensation: During, the course of the experiment, the
psychic children described their personal feelings as: although there were some
differences because of the length of time it took to recognize the cards, the
common feeling was one of a tingling or heat in the hand which followed up the
inside of the arm past the elbow, armpit, shoulder, neck and head. Black dots
or flashing lights (a number of flashes) were seen before the eyes. Then an
unclear picture of the card or characters was seen, which gradually became clear
and the color recognizable. After recognition, most of the children felt dizzy,
as if the head were swelling, headachy, or exhausted. A few of the children did
not have any sensations.
2. Skin Temperature: Of the 136 skin temperatures taken in the experiment,
89 or 66.44% rose and only 24 or 17.65% decreased. Also, temperature increases
of the heart channel increased most obviously. See Table 1 for details. The
average increase in skin temperature for the "laogong" accupoint was 1.78
degrees sentigrade; for the "neiguan" (elbow) accupoint it was 1.18 degrees; the
"quze" (armpit) acupoint was 0.72 degrees; the "jiquan" (shoulder) was 0.55
degrees; the "dazhui" (neck) accupoint was 0.74 degrees; and the "Taiyang"
(temple) accupoint was 0.52 degrees. Statistically, the skin temperature
differentials of the "laogong", "neiguan", and "dazhui" points were very obvious
