Before you read this article, there are a few things you should know:
1. Within the circles of the ultra-wealthy and the entertainment industry, there exists a network of people who provide all manner of depraved services. The unfortunate reality is that unless someone is caught in the act, it is nearly impossible to hold them accountable.
It is my sincere hope that this incident will be the catalyst for a thorough investigation and severe punishment.
2. The practice of child abuse originated in Taiwan, and while it remains largely unknown outside these circles, it is an open secret within them. The depravity involved is almost beyond imagination.
3. Never casually entrust your young children to anyone outside the family. The darkness lurking in this world sometimes exceeds anything you could conceive.
Today, a case of child abuse involving the chairman of a publicly listed company has been exposed. The facts are straightforward: a powerful real estate tycoon, in order to satisfy his twisted appetites, violated a nine-year-old girl, inflicting severe physical and psychological trauma upon her.
What makes this even more horrifying is that the one who facilitated this act of depravity was a close friend of the victim’s mother. She first deceived the mother by claiming she would take the child on a trip to Disneyland Shanghai — and then, after accepting ten thousand yuan as a broker’s fee from the perpetrator, she handed the child over to a monster.
Master Chi feels nothing but absolute revulsion and hatred toward this kind of behavior. I am relieved that the perpetrator has been arrested — because without this arrest, who knows how many more children might have fallen into his hands?
There is nothing more to say, except that justice must be served to the fullest extent of the law.
Master Chi firmly believes this was not an isolated impulse. This man has harbored such predilections for years and was simply caught this time. Given his wealth, his status, and the practiced ease of his coordination with intermediaries, the number of victims is almost certainly far greater than one. And there must be an established supply chain — a system specifically designed to feed his perversions.
This calls to mind something a friend in the entertainment industry once told me. In his own words: “Among certain wealthy businessmen and entertainment figures, there are extremely depraved tastes. Their predatory behavior toward children operates through a supply chain — extremely hidden, but very real.”
Master Chi therefore hopes that in the wake of this case, these practices will be thoroughly investigated and eradicated. We must protect our children. And to every parent, I offer this warning: when it comes to the safety of your child, the only people you can truly trust are yourself and your partner. Unless you know someone with the deepest familiarity and trust, never assume that anyone else will care for your child as their own.
What Master Chi knows about all of this is limited to fragments — things that can “barely be spoken of” — but I share them here in the hope that they serve as a warning.
The roots of child abuse in mainland China trace back more than a decade to Taiwan. At that time, certain circles in Taiwan saw the rise of this predatory practice, and that influence eventually spread to the mainland.
The reason: a group of charlatans began promoting the claim that the Huangdi Neijing (the ancient Chinese medical classic) contained longevity techniques involving the appropriation of youthful vitality — the idea being that strong Yang energy could replenish weak Yin, and vice versa. (Ji Xiaolan also made passing reference to such claims in his Yuewei Caotang Biji.)
And so, a cohort of wealthy Taiwanese businessmen terrified of aging — along with a number of female entertainers — threw themselves into this dark and twisted path.
One particular businessman stands out as a prime example. His business was in traditional manufacturing, primarily wood products, and he operated production factories in Yunnan province on the mainland. As with most such factories, the workforce was largely composed of young people from surrounding villages and towns, predominantly women.
This man installed a bathhouse on factory grounds, ostensibly as an employee benefit. Do not be fooled by his apparent generosity.
Within the bathhouse, he had a small private pool — large enough for only four or five people at a time. Each day, his secretary would select employees between roughly eighteen years of age, and those chosen were required to soak in the pool without first washing — entering with the sweat and grime of a day’s work still on their bodies.
The selection varied: on days designated “Yin dominant,” four or five healthy young men would be chosen to soak; on days designated “Yang dominant,” four or five young women. After the young workers finished soaking, the businessman would enter the same water — without changing it.
A certain female entertainer was even more brazen. Nearly every time she came to the mainland, she explicitly demanded that her local hosts arrange for four to five handsome young men, around sixteen or seventeen years old, to be present at both her welcome dinner and her daily entertainment. If you think they were merely there for appearances — you have badly underestimated the situation. These young people were expected to be with her intimately, night after night.
More sickening still, a considerable number of powerful men are equally zealous in pursuing the “purity” of young boys and girls.
This, in some measure, explains why the new generation of mainland entertainment figures in recent years — male performers in particular — have increasingly taken on an exaggeratedly effeminate quality. Because what their starry-eyed fans cannot begin to imagine is that many of their adored idols, before their debut, were night after night subjected to abuse at the hands of the powerful.
To be clear: this predatory behavior is not confined to East Asia. In fact, the European and North American elites are even more deeply afflicted.
The most well-known cases come from Western religious institutions, where child abuse scandals have erupted repeatedly — the Vatican alone has seen allegations involving nearly ten thousand children victimized by corrupt clergy. Ten thousand reported cases means many more victims still hidden beneath the surface.
At the same time, large swaths of the North American elite — former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary, along with numerous members of the British aristocracy — are “widely known” to be devotees of such practices.
So never assume that because someone appears cultured, refined, and presentable, they cannot be a monster wearing a human face.
Remember what Master Chi shares with you today:
Not every creature that walks upright on two legs deserves to be called a human being.
Beasts are always beasts. But those who call themselves human — are not always human.
