Chinese Consul-General in Frankfurt Stricken With Sudden Brain Cancer

By Chen Ming and Zheng Yan

(Clearwisdom.net) Shen Yun Performing Arts (SYPA) International Company was touring eastern Canada when their bus was vandalized on January 13, 2010, in Ottawa. There were two thin knife cuts in one tire. A garage technician said that the cuts could easily lead to a tire explosion at high speed. The police are investigating the case.

Yet Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interference and sabotage consistently meets with failure.

In attempts to prevent Shen Yun from performing in Frankfurt, Germany, Li Haiyan, then-Consul General of the Chinese Consulate in Frankfurt, wrote to the Prime Minister of the State of Holstein, denigrating Shen Yun in the form of a state diplomatic letter, on January 6, 2009. He also contacted consulates of other countries in Frankfurt, and lobbied them not to attend the Shen Yun shows. These attempts not only failed to stop the shows, but also encouraged more people to see the shows. A German human rights organization exposed Li Haiyan's letter to the Prime Minister, which became solid evidence of CCP abuse of diplomatic power.

In September 2009, Li Haiyan suddenly returned to China, without even holding a going-away party. He simply disappeared from the public eye. Departing in such a way is contrary to diplomatic conventions and remains a mystery to many people. A Chinese blogger named "overseas passerby" questioned, "How could Consul-General Li suddenly leave his post without even a party? What happened?" Several months have passed with no response to the blogger's inquiry.

It was learned recently that Li Haiyan contracted brain cancer and his condition quickly worsened, so he returned to Beijing to undergo surgery. He is still battling for his life. For his colleagues in diplomatic circles, it is difficult to understand why Li, a man in his early fifties who was strong and healthy, suddenly developed such a terminal illness.

According to insiders, Li Haiyan previously worked as a trade officer in the Chinese Consulate in Hamburg and belonged to the Ministry of Foreign Trade, now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During his tenure in Hamburg, whenever Falun Gong practitioners applied for trade-related documents, he denied their applications. After he returned to China from Hamburg, he was soon promoted to Consul General of the Chinese Consulate in Frankfurt. Such quick advancement is rare. It has been said that he was very good at guessing the intentions of his boss, yet many believe he was promoted simply because he followed Jiang Zemin closely in implementing his policy of persecuting Falun Gong.

Li Haiyan spared no effort in interfering with Shen Yun shows, and his attitude toward Falun Gong did not change. For example, practitioner Chen Rong submitted a passport renewal application in March 2009, with all required documents. According to the information received by the Chinese Consulate, the process should have taken 15 days. But the Chinese Consulate still hasn't given her the passport after ten months, with the excuse that her application is still being processed.

It is a heavenly principle that good will be rewarded with good and evil will meet with karmic retribution. Those who sabotage Shen Yun shows will also face dire consequences. Many within the CCP system saw years ago that countless people have received retribution, including 610 Office heads, political and legal committee secretaries, police officers, and special agents assigned overseas. Following the CCP to persecute Falun Gong is not worth it.

As a matter of fact, some diplomats have shown deep repentance. Pan Xinchun, former Deputy Consul General of the Chinese Consulate in Toronto, is one such example. On April 25, 2003, The Toronto Star published a feature letter from Joel Chipkar, a local businessman, expressing his concern over the SARS cover-up that led to the spread of SARS in Toronto. On May 1, 2003, Pan Xinchun wrote a rebuttal letter to the newspaper denying any responsibility for the cover-up of SARS. He used the situation to accuse Chipkar and other Falun Gong practitioners of having a "hidden purpose" and "ulterior motives." Mr. Chipkar filed a libel lawsuit against Pan in August of that year. On February 3, 2003, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice found Pan guilty of libel and ordered him to pay damages to Chipkar. (For details see http://clearwisdom.net/html/articles/2004/2/4/44782.html)

After the verdict, Pan Xinchun had to return to China. According to insiders, he was remorseful for his behavior in writing that letter. At that time, his father was visiting him in Canada. Both father and son held each other and cried after the verdict was announced. The CCP tried to dispatch Pan to the Chinese Embassy in Britain, but the British government declined saying he was not welcome in their country.

There are still some diplomats who abuse their diplomatic immunity and instigate hatred to help persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Li Haiyan's cancer and Pan Xinchun's verdict should raise the alarm for diplomats who still behave as CCP spies.

A truly wise person will heed heaven's principles break free from the CCP, and as a result gain a bright future for him or herself. Even if they still lack the courage to publicly abandon the CCP, they should at least stop being henchman for the CCP, thus bringing misfortune to them and their families.

Evildoers can never escape the punishment of conscience and morality. There is still time to stop the crimes and repent. I hope those who have done wrong won't miss this opportunity.
