During his assignment in Heilongjiang Province, Xu Youfang followed Jiang's order to harshly persecute Falun Gong practitioners. When he was the head of the forestry department, he promoted Jiang Zemin's younger sister, Jiang Zehui, from the position of an ordinary technician to the head of the Chinese Forestry Academy, winning Jiang's favor. However, Xu's evil deeds finally caught up with him in the end.
