According to the Dingxiang Doctor WeChat official account, December 12, 2018 is Zhou Yang's third anniversary.
For three years, Zhou Yang's father has regretted it all the time - if he asked his daughter to stay in Beijing Children's Hospital for treatment instead of taking Tianjin Quanjian Company's products, would she still be alive?
Quanjian Company, which once intervened in Zhou Yang's treatment during his lifetime and brought pain to the Zhou family, just won the title of "Asia-Pacific Direct Sales Big Health Promotion Meritorious Enterprise" the day before.
The death of the girl did not damage Quanjian's rapid growth at all.
His founder even said that Quanjian's turnover should reach 500 billion in 5 years.
, a company that started with sky-high health care insoles and negative ion sanitary napkins, has spent 14 years building a health care empire with annual sales of nearly 20 billion yuan in China under the cover of more than 7,000 franchise fire therapy stores.
It promises thousands of participants’ dreams about health and wealth, but the dream is more like a bubble.
In the food chain of the empire, participants not only spent money, but also burned, disabled, and even lost their lives.
Wei Zexi's tragedy
What is the greatest "evil" in human nature?
Wei Zexi replied at the last moment of his life:
He was deceived when he was seriously ill and spent hundreds of thousands of yuan pieces of his family to piece together. He lay in a medical institution contracted by Putian, performing a deceptive "high-tech therapy".
Yes, what is the greatest evil in human nature?
If Xiao Zhou Yang is still alive, how would she answer this question?
Probably, in order to save her daughter who suffers from sacrococcytal malignant germ cell tumor , her father sold almost all his belongings, including the house. The treatment of
was not smooth. After several extremely painful surgeries - tumor removal, intestinal perforation, recurrence, and resection, the tumor marker was once close to normal levels.
But the condition is not stable, and the doctor at Beijing Children's Hospital recommends continuing chemotherapy.
However, a company called Quanjian intervened in the treatment of her youngest daughter.
The family is a farmer. I can’t bear to see my daughter who was only 4 years old at the time in such pain. She temporarily interrupted the chemotherapy in the hospital and let her take the company’s “anti-cancer” products for more than two months.
However, the daughter's condition worsened.
When she was dying, her daughter's photos and avatar appeared bizarrely on major video websites, forums, and social media, saying that she had regained her life in Quanjian.
The angry father sued this health empire worth tens of billions to court.
guess what the result is?
lost the lawsuit.
8 months later, the increasingly larger tumor tumor ruptured her skin, the wound was ulcerated, and she died in pain.
didn't even get apologies before he died.

pictures are from the Health Times. At the same time, Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Yang's father Zhou Erli regrets the most in his life, that is, he took his daughter to Quanjian Company.
Zhou Yang was originally treated at the Beijing Children's Hospital, and underwent 4 surgeries and 23 chemotherapy.
Her attending doctor later told us that the process was very painful and the treatment was not smooth.
But her tumor marker (alpha-fetoprotein) once dropped to more than 20 (normal values are 0-20).
When Zhou Yang's story was reported by CCTV, a Quanjian contact person found Zhou Erli and brought him to Shu Yuhui, the founder and chairman of Quanjian Company.
Zhou Tuli Li Now thinks that Quanjian doesn’t look like a medical institution—the magnificent hall and office. There are endless people coming to visit and inspect. Photos of Shu Yuhui and various leaders are hanging on the office wall.
In the most luxurious office building Zhou Erli has ever seen in his life, he received a biography of Shu Yuhui - "The Price of Life - Folk Secret Recipe and Treasure to Make Contemporary Miracle Doctors".
Tuesday believed in "the secret recipe they bought for anti-cancer that they spent 80 million yuan."
He paid 5,000 yuan in cash (Quanjian later argued that it was a free gift) and obtained a violet body essential oil, a powdered solid beverage, and a bag of Chinese medicine preparations without formula instructions (prescribed by Shu Yuhui).
This is the anti-cancer drug that Quanjian Company gave to Zhou Yang.
Some of Quanjian products used by Zhou Yang
According to Zhou Erli, he was told not to take Western medicine or chemotherapy during this period.
Zhou Tui made a decision that made him regret his life and took Zhou Yang out of the hospital.
Zhou Yang's attending doctor tried to dissuade him.
According to the doctor, although Zhou Yang's tumor markers have decreased, she has not reached the stage where she can stop the medication. Discontinuation of treatment at that time greatly increased the possibility of relapse.
Zhou Tuli said that he went to Quanjian Company to get the medicine five times.
After taking Quanjian’s “drugs” for more than two months, Zhou Yang’s condition worsened.
Zhou Tuli sent Zhou Yang back to the hospital again, and the tumor relapsed and metastasized.
is in a state of anxiety on Tuesday, something even more bizarre happened.
During the period when Zhou Yang's condition continued to deteriorate, he received countless calls and bombarded:
Is Zhou Yang's disease cured by Quanjian's products?
It turned out that a video titled "Zhou Yang's germ cell tumor was cured by Quanjian's secret recipe" began to circulate online.
In other web pages, blogs and forums, titles like "The 4-year-old girl with cancer, Xiao Zhou Yang, reborn in Quanjian Natural Medicine !" were widely spread. The picture is a photo of Zhou Yang's family and the founder of the company, Shu Yuhui.
also printed a page of Zhou Yang's photos on a promotional material marked by Quanjian's production - "A 4-year-old girl from Inner Mongolia has a cancer and is reborn in Quanjian's natural medicine."
However, Zhou Yang, who was lying beside Zhou Erli, was suffering from the pain of cancer recurrence and metastasis.
The attending doctor in Inner Mongolia cannot find a good chemotherapy plan, and the hospitals in Beijing have no choice at this time.
In order to let Quanjian company delete the network-related information and apologize, he took Quanjian to court on Tuesday.
In April 2015, the judgment of the Songshan District People's Court of Chifeng City showed that it was impossible to confirm these infringements on the Internet (falsely advertise Zhou Yang's illness, using Zhou Yang's portrait and name) came from Quanjian Company's official, so the judgment was strongly lost on Tuesday.
Zhou Tuli did not attend the trial, and he was with the weak Zhou Yang.
For the last period, Zhou Yang used adult dose of painkillers to maintain his life.
There is a hole in the stomach, and there is a big hole behind it. The increasingly larger tumor tumors rupture the skin, the wound is ulcerated, and even the intestines can be seen inside.
All of these were engraved in Zhou Tui Li's mind.
On December 12, 2015, Zhou Yang passed away.
She didn't even get an apology before she died.
In court, Quanjian Company blamed Zhou Yang's aggravation of his condition, accepted media interviews, overwork and inappropriate diet.
sky-high price insoles, negative ion sanitary napkins and fire therapy
Zhou Tue Li said that while dealing with Quanjian Company, he received a threatening call.
There are millions of people doing Quanjian. If you say that, then you are the common enemy of millions.
How big is Quanjian? It is a mystery.
In Tianjin, there is a road named after the word "Quanjian".
In the Chinese Super League, there is a football team named after "Quanjian".
A promotional video from Quanjian Company stated that tens of millions of people are using Quanjian Company’s products.
There are also Quanjian franchise fire therapy stores all over the country, alleys and streets.
Quanjian's strongholds are from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen and provincial capitals to many counties and cities across the country.
According to the Beijing News, an internal data obtained by a reporter from the Beijing News shows that Quanjian Group has more than 7,000 fire therapy and health centers under Quanjian Group.
The biography of Shu Yuhui, founder of Quanjian Company, said:
Shu Yuhui shoulders historical mission and responsibility, is sincere in his people, and is blessed with all the people.
Shu Yuhui attributed Quanjian's success to the more than 600 Chinese medicine "secret recipes" he collected. He has always claimed that Quanjian is a "natural medicine" company, not a health care product company.
Quanjian Company, which started in 2004, has rapidly grown into a business empire spanning many industries such as health care products, medical care, cosmetics, finance, sports and real estate in just 14 years.
According to the estimates of the direct sales industry magazine "Knowledge Economy·China Direct Sales", Quanjian's sales performance from 2013 to 2017 was:
5 billion yuan, 13.5 billion yuan, 19 billion yuan, 19.2 billion yuan, and 17.6 billion yuan respectively.
Shu Yuhui's biography "The Price of Life" mentions how the secret recipe was originally prepared into products:
In a small workshop in urban Tianjin, there is only an old small electric fan, which is extremely hot;
Shu Yuhui and the old man combined to form a production trio of the Fire Dragon Liquid secret recipe. They resurrected this Fire Dragon Liquid secret recipe by hand stirring throughout the day;
Shu Yuhui's physical strength is on the verge of overdrawing almost every day;
Finally, one day in 2004, the world's first bucket of Fire Dragon Liquid for Fire Therapy was born.
Quanjian's business empire started with these inventions that "shake the world".
In 2005, Quanjian's signature fire therapy was released, and Shu Yuhui registered three invention patents.
"A kind of implementation process for fire therapy" in the invention patent reads:
Fire therapy can effectively convert and decompose fat, effectively lose weight...
According to the description of the details of the invention: you can burn anywhere in the body -
burn your eyes; burn your nose; burn your ears; burn your abdomen; burn your back; burn your arms; burn your hands; burn your legs; burn your feet....
The diseases treated are from brain atrophy to baldness, from deafness to uterine erosion, from kidney deficiency, impotence and premature ejaculation to facial paralysis, constipation and periarthritis of the shoulder.
patent manual for fire therapy
is so powerful, Quanjian Company’s official event notes read: Once
fire therapy is released, it will be like a prairie fire.

In addition to fire therapy, two other inventions of Shu Yuhui during the same period were also written into Quanjian's major events - Gu Zhengji (a pair of health care insoles priced at thousands of yuan) and negative ion sanitary napkins.
More than ten years later, although Quanjian Company has developed a richer product line, early-stage products such as health care insoles and sanitary napkins are still praised.
In 2014, Quanjian's dealer brought CCTV reporters into the warehouse to visit, displaying this pair of "bone-centered base" that resembles insoles, and introducing the miraculous effects of this product on O-shaped legs, poor sleep, and heart disease.

The invention patent of this insole is called "massage insole". It does not have the qualifications for medical devices, but it is sold for 1,068 yuan per pair. Dealers can freely claim various therapeutic effects.
"The Father of Quanjian Natural Medicine" Shu Yuhui is also the inventor of "negative ion sanitary napkins".
According to the major events of Quanjian’s official website, their negative ion magnetic sanitary napkins were released in 2007.
uses a negative ion magnetic CPU chip, which can balance the human body and the product is produced according to food-grade hygiene standards.
Shu Yuhui wrote in his patent that year that this negative ion sanitary napkin has the effects of "eliminating anaerobic bacteria", "enhancing blood circulation and removing stasis" and "enhancing immunity".
Quanjian’s dealer said in CCTV’s report that this sanitary napkin can treat prostate diseases.

After 4 years, Quanjian dealers still tell us that this sanitary napkin can treat gynecological diseases; the sanitary napkin also comes with a chip inside, which can prevent mobile phone radiation.
A dealer even ate the absorbent droplets in the sanitary napkin in person and said, "This is safe enough to be eaten." More than 10 years later, Quanjian Company's product layout has become more diverse, and many products have obtained the logo of health care products.
Of course, what remains unchanged is the packaging language of the product.
, for example, "Material Herbal Liquid", is a beverage produced under the standard of food production license, and the price is 1,068 yuan.
Does it look like a can of sour plum soup?

According to the ingredients list, the attending doctor of the Department of Gastroenterology in a tertiary hospital told us:
This product is essentially ordinary juice.
On the website of the Drug Administration, we searched for this product based on the production license number.
registration information display:
It is a flavored beverage.
, but Quanjian’s official customer service responded by phone:
This product can detoxify.
colorful substances excreted by diarrhea after taking this product. Dealers say:
these represent toxins excreted from different parts of the human body.
Just when many people think it is absurd, Quanjian Company has taken the fire therapy franchise stores across the country as the basis and continuously sold its products to the people of the whole country.
They wrapped customers in plastic film and towels, ignited the raging flames of alcohol, and advised that "the humidity is very heavy, do more fire therapy."
They sold pairs of sky-high insoles, bags of negative ion sanitary napkins, and bottles of health and detox drinks.
We really want to know how many critically ill patients are among the tens of millions of people who use Quanjian products? How do Quanjian’s dealers sell these health products and foods to them?
Have they interrupted the regular treatment of the hospital because they believe in Quanjian’s products like Xiao Zhou Yang’s family? Has it delayed the condition?
How was the ten-billion empire made?
If they just advocate some kind of folk therapy, Shu Yuhui’s achievements may not exceed various “miracle doctors”.
But Shu Yuhui is not only a "miracle doctor", but also a billionaire who forged a business empire.
We participated in an investment promotion conference at the headquarters of Quanjian in Tianjin, felt the huge attraction of this business model, and understood the fanaticism of Quanjian dealers.

In November 2018, in an entrepreneurial briefing called Quanjian Natural Medicine Yusheng System, the venue was filled with more than a thousand people, and the participants were Quanjian dealers and newcomers who brought them hope to develop.
meeting is brainwashing in various links.
Dealers share the legend of Quanjian products health care and disease treatment with tears in their eyes, shouting:
We are not angels in white, but we are better than angels, because we keep more people away from illness and suffering. There will be a strong mark in the history of Chinese medicine.
dealers encouraged the audience in their speeches: "The future billionaire is the overlord of the billionaire side."
They share the story of getting rich by joining Quanjian.
Their family's financial situation was once poor, but after joining Quanjian, they received a weekly cap bonus of 50,000 yuan, drove a BMW, realizing their dream of buying high-priced houses in the county.
spend 7,500 yuan or more, and you can become a dealer of Quanjian at different levels. After becoming a dealer, the more new members you develop, the more bonus you get.
Maybe you sneer at this kind of brainwashing. However, this is how Quanjian Empire was established.
We participated in the Quanjian "Yusheng" system investment conference. A dealer of the "Yusheng" system told us that "Yusheng" has 70,000 people.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of Quanjian's business empire. Quanjian's dealers have dozens of different systems. According to the publicity of Quanjian's "Yonghe", "Hand in Hand" and "Lily", each team has a scale of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people.
In 2012, before Quanjian obtained the direct sales license, a case of Quanjian in Jiaohe, Jilin revealed in detail some of the business models of "Quanjian Natural Medicine Development Co., Ltd.".
Meng Moumou, the highest leader of the "Everyone System" of Quanjian Company's sales team, and others, were accused by the Jiaohe City Procuratorate of a pyramid scheme because they "formatted a level in a certain order, using the number of development personnel as the basis for remuneration or rebate, and defrauded property." The information of the
judgment shows that "Renren System" has been launched within two or three years, involving more than 5,000 people, and the amount involved has reached 7.2 million yuan. The testimony of witness Qin Moumou in the verdict said:
Meng Moumou's leader is Shu Yuhui, the founder of Quanjian.
Finally, Jiaohe Municipal People's Court sentenced four people to organize and lead pyramid schemes, including Meng Moumou, the highest leader of Quanjian Company's "Everyone System".
As Quanjian empire expands, more and more participants are starting to accuse it of being actually a pyramid scheme, looting the wealth of the working class’s family.
4 QQ groups called "Quanjian MLM Reveal" with a total of nearly 5,000 members, have old members communicate with newcomers every day to help their families stay away from Quanjian.

The "Anti-Quanjian Bar" in Baidu Post Bar has accumulated more than 16,000 posts.
The mayor's mailboxes and official websites of the industrial and commercial departments in various places also have many complaints and reports on Quanjian's pyramid schemes.
The parties often say that they are working-earned families. Some family members were brainwashed and invested tens of thousands of dollars. They developed wildly and went offline, and the family fell apart.
In the great era of Quanjian's development, these are faint and harsh sounds.
According to the industrial and commercial information of Tianyancha, the Quanjian company controlled by Shu Yuhui has currently registered capital exceeds 1.7 billion yuan, and there are more than 30 core and affiliated companies of the Quanjian company.
Direct Sales Industry Magazine "Knowledge Economy·China Direct Sales" estimates that Quanjian's annual sales performance in recent years has exceeded 10 billion yuan.
funds have spawned more gameplay and more sophisticated and complex packaging techniques.
In 2014, Quanjian acquired Tianjin Football Club. Chairman Shu Yuhui once said in an interview with the media:
is in China, if you don’t have enough funds and strength, don’t engage in football.
The facade of the empire has become better.
The victims who fell into the abyss
and Quanjian who escaped from the dead
Later, he always blamed himself for his ignorance, harmed his daughter, and lost the lawsuit.
But it's not just him who can't escape.
In media reports and judicial judgments, we have counted about 20 Quanjian fire therapy accidents in various places with serious burns in recent years, and found their common points:
These accidents reveal the possible risks and consequences of Quanjian fire therapy - severe burns, high treatment costs, and terrible sequelae.
dealers are usually responsible for these accidents, while Quanjian Company escaped unscathed.
For example, Ms. Xu from Shandong, suffered severe burns in her legs during fire therapy three years ago, and spent more than 100,000 yuan on treatment. It still makes it difficult to squat down on her legs.
In July 2018, after two years of difficult lawsuit, the court ruled that the dealer was liable for compensation, but her lawyer told us that the latter had run away.
An old man surnamed Bao from Inner Mongolia was doing fire therapy at a fire therapy hall (Quanjian franchise store) in 2016. His heart disease recurred due to improper operation by staff.
Although the fire therapy store operator believes that Quanjian Company, which has a "affiliated relationship" with it, should also bear the liability for compensation, the court's final judgment did not support it.
Not only in the case of prosecution of victims of fire therapy and burns, but in the case of public prosecution agencies across the country prosecuting pyramid schemes, Quanjian Company also used unknowingly to push the blame to dealers.
In December 2017, a case of Quanjian dealer ended in the second trial of Guizhou Liupanshui , and three Quanjian dealers were sentenced for pyramid schemes. The organizer was accused of developing 39 downline personnel and forming a pyramid pyramid scheme of more than three levels, with the amount involved in the case of 1.64 million.
Quanjian Company provided testimony in the case that it was a direct sales enterprise established in accordance with the law and was unaware of the sales model of the franchisees.
The victims fell into the abyss, and Quanjian Company, which invented, promoted and benefited from it, always escaped.
We only found one exception.
This fire treatment burn accident occurred in Shenzhen, Guangdong.
Ms. Xiao, who is over 40 years old, was burned in many skin areas such as the right upper limb, chest, abdomen and back. She was admitted to the hospital for 24 days and had to undergo plastic surgery.
This lawsuit was fought for two years. In May 2018, Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court second instance upheld the original judgment. Quanjian Company needs to be responsible with the Fire Therapy Center, with a total compensation of 270,000 yuan.
Judging from the judgment, the focus of the dispute in this case is whether Quanjian Company should bear the liability for compensation. When defending
, Quanjian Company stated that it did not provide fire therapy services and had nothing to do with the dealer.
According to the information of about 20 judicial judgments we obtained, we often do not need to sign a contract, and the consumption money is not paid directly to Quanjian Company, but handled through dealers.
, a cutting method that was prepared for a long time, was once tried and tested in previous Quanjian Fire Therapy cases, but it failed in Shenzhen.
The Shenzhen Intermediate Court finally determined that Quanjian was included in the store sign for Ms. Xiao’s fire therapy, and the introduction of Quanjian’s fire therapy services. Evidence including WeChat chat records shows that participants always claim to be Quanjian’s people and use this to develop offline.
The court held that whether it is external publicity or internal relations, Quanjian Company has a high possibility of significant correlation with the Huotherapy Store.
Therefore, the court ruled that Quanjian must also bear responsibility.
Ms. Xiao’s lawyer told us that the lawsuit has not ended yet and Quanjian is still applying for a retrial.
If the verdict is implemented, this 10 billion business empire that started with fire therapy will finally be responsible for the fire therapy burn accident.
But for Zhou Tui Li family at the beginning of the story, there is no chance.
To this day, he has left Zhou Yang's ashes by his side and kept several boxes of information related to Zhou Yang and Quanjian. Thousands of photos record the girl's laughter and misfortune.
, Quanjian obtained a direct sales business license in 2013 and has since had a talisman.
was also that year. Shu Yuhui said in an interview with direct sales media that Quanjian's turnover should reach 500 billion in five years.
