(Minghui.org) Wang Tongwen is not a Falun Gong practitioner. A previous Minghui notice published in 2013 indicates that, while posing as a practitioner, she frequently did things overseas that damaged Falun Dafa's reputation. She is now contacting practitioners in mainland China.
Some practitioners in mainland China have been approached by Wang, who's claiming she plans to launch The Whole Elephant Institute to promote traditional Chinese culture. Through Wechat, QQ, and other social media, Wang says she's recruiting faculty members from China. However, only Falun Gong practitioners or people who have renounced their memberships in Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organizations are eligible.
Applicants are required to submit detailed personal information. Those who apply are told they will receive an employment letter from the institute for their visa. She tells people that the U.S. government provides financial support for students coming from China. Wang has a team promoting her on various social media outlets. They say overseas practitioners are not eligible for positions in the institute.
It's known that more than 100 people, both practitioners and non-practitioners, have given Wang their personal information. Some of them admire her and are proactively promoting her proposed institute to other practitioners. This has created security issues and interfered with practitioners' efforts to raise awareness about Falun Gong.
Using the Internet names, Li Tianshui and a western name,“Lotus King Weiss,” Wang has set up more than one Wechat social media group. Because she talks about Falun Gong in the chat groups, some practitioners have been misled and think she is a practitioner. Wang also gives lectures or holds video chats in QQ groups (her QQ ID is 2269716737), but these groups are usually inactivated soon afterward.

One reason Wang is able to deceive some practitioners may be because they are eager to go abroad, either to live in a more relaxed environment or to make more money.
At this stage of Fa-rectification, the most important thing is to clarify the facts about Falun Gong. This is our mission that we have been waiting eons to fulfill. Chinese people need to know that Falun Gong is still actively being practiced, both in China and overseas. They also need to know about the severe persecution. When practitioners come out of China, they may have language and communication issues. Their lack of familiarity with western society and Party culture behavior may also cause them difficulties navigating western society.
Practitioners who are very capable in China may have difficulty supporting themselves overseas. Some have lied in order to remain overseas or to make a living, causing them huge losses.
As practitioners, we should act based on the Fa, stay focused and remain undisturbed. When we place our personal interests first, we may go astray even though our intention to save people, is good.
