Practitioner Mr. Ling Xiang from Guangzhou City went to Shanghai on a business trip. On the evening of July 5, 2003, he took a taxi to return to the hotel with his business partner, a non-practitioner. During the ride he clarified the truth of Falun Gong to the taxi driver and gave him a copy of truth-clarifying literature, but this driver reported him to the Jing'ansi Police Department.
