On March 11, former Chinese investigative journalist Zhao Lanjian unveiled first-hand testimony from Ms. Xiao Fang, a grieving mother, who shared the brutal reality behind China’s organ harvesting industry. The partial testimony, which details the horrific fate of her son, directly implicates Wuhan Tongji Hospital in a systematic chain of murder and illicit organ trafficking.
While speaking to Vision Times, Zhao alleged that behind these calculated killings lies a vast network involving hospitals, doctors, funeral homes, police, and media — all complicit in a black-market transplant operation. He also called on the United Nations (UN) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate China’s illegal organ trade.
A mother’s devastating testimony
“Her testimony is the first public outcry from a victim’s family in China to confront this dark medical regime, tearing away the mask of this medical slaughterhouse,” Zhao said, his voice heavy with emotion.
According to Ms. Xiao Fang’s account, her 28-year-old son was a prodigy. Standing 1.81 meters tall, strikingly handsome, and extraordinarily gifted, he had earned a PhD from one of the world’s top ten universities by the age of 25. With two postdoctoral fellowships under his belt, his pioneering research in artificial intelligence, biomedicine, and quantum computing earned him the reputation of a “scientist of the future.”

After spending seven years abroad, earning nearly a million annually and building a stable life, he chose to return to China to contribute to its technological advancements. But this decision led him into a nightmare. On May 31, 2022, he was admitted to Wuhan Tongji Hospital’s emergency department after a minor fall. He was conscious, fully mobile, and had stable vital signs — showing no signs of critical injury.
Yet, within days, he became entangled in what Zhao claims was a calculated scheme to turn him into an unwitting organ donor.
“My son didn’t die from an accident — he was systematically murdered by Dr. Li Zhanfei and others at Wuhan Tongji Hospital! … It’s horrifying. Li Zhanfei and his ilk are beasts, demons, wolves that devour without spitting out the bones,” Ms. Xiao Fang wrote in her testimony.
Despite her courage in speaking out, her voice has been forcibly silenced across Chinese social media. The government, hospital, and media have worked together to erase her claims, dismissing her official complaints with the cold response: “No evidence of a crime.”
Zhao condemned the system, stating: “This is a nation that permits medical murder! It’s a regime built on deception, where cover-ups replace justice.”
Pre-meditated killing
Zhao Lanjian, breaking down the evidence provided by Ms. Xiao Fang, described the operation as a calculated murder disguised as medical care.
Step 1: Silencing the victim
Emergency doctor Liu Qinxin, with just one year of experience, intubated the young man and placed him on a ventilator without family consent, rendering him unable to speak. Instead of transferring him to neurosurgeons, the hospital admitted him to the trauma surgery ward—known as a prime source for organ donors.
Step 2: Deliberate neglect and condition manipulation
“In 16 days, they performed only two CT scans but conducted organ-related ultrasounds every three days—clearly monitoring his organs, not his survival,” Zhao noted. Fake updates were provided by Xie Weiming, an unlicensed doctor, while critical brain-pressure treatments were withheld by Li Zhanfei, ensuring his condition deteriorated.
Step 3: Manufacturing a ‘brain death’ diagnosis
On June 2, Xie Weiming declared him “brain dead.” On June 10, Li Zhanfei confirmed it. Then, on June 16, transplant coordinator Cheng Weihua approached the family, offering financial incentives to authorize organ donation. But the truth was horrifying — CT scans from June 6 showed him lifting blankets, kicking them off, and pulling out his oxygen tube. “Proof he was conscious,” Ms. Xiao Fang wrote.
Step 4: Hastening death after refusal
By June 14, he had survived the critical period and was improving. Yet, the hospital ignored the family’s insistence on treatment. On June 16, at 9:44 a.m., doctors removed his ventilator without consent, declared him dead, and barred his family from his bedside. By 10:47 a.m., his body was already in the morgue. Within 13 minutes, a funeral home had collected it. “The speed was staggering — it was clearly pre-meditated,” said Zhao.
A medical slaughterhouse
Wuhan Tongji Hospital is the largest transplant center in central China, performing over a thousand procedures annually, often for the elite. “Tens of thousands of patients disappear in Chinese hospitals every year—their fates unknown,” Zhao warned. He alleged that China’s transplant boom, despite its 2015 claim of ceasing the use of executed prisoners’ organs, suggests a hidden supply chain.
“This is more evil than Unit 731,” said Zhao. “Doctors have turned hospitals into slaughterhouses, disguising murder as ‘life-saving medicine.’”
He presented WeChat screenshots from Cheng Weihua, exposing how the hospital entices families with waived medical fees in exchange for organ donation. “This isn’t an isolated case — it’s a systemic nightmare,” added Zhao.
State-sanctioned murder
China’s lack of legal recognition for brain death creates an environment where hospitals can manipulate definitions for their benefit. “They declared him brain dead while CT scans showed brain activity—clear proof he was alive,” Zhao said. Removing life support without consent violated the “Regulations on Medical Institutions,” while listing him as a “potential donor” without family agreement breached medical ethics. Even his death certificate, signed by funeral home staff, reeked of forgery.
“This isn’t a medical accident — it’s a crime hiding behind legal gray areas,” said Zhao, adding, “The CCP wants this massacre to be erased from history.”
Government suppression is another key factor. “They don’t investigate; they silence,” he said. He cited Dr. Luo Shuaiyu of Hunan Xiangya Hospital, who was mysteriously killed after exposing organ harvesting. Ms. Xiao Fang’s online appeals have been erased, while even overseas Chinese media have hesitated to report the case.
A call to action
Zhao called this a global crisis. “I urge the UN and ICC to investigate China’s illegal organ trade, the WHO to audit Wuhan Tongji Hospital’s transplant sources, and for international sanctions against the hospital and its complicit doctors. Human rights groups must support victims legally,” he implored.
“Every day of inaction means more deaths,” he warned. “Patients walk into hospitals expecting care — only to leave in body bags, their organs auctioned off.”
Aware of the risks he faces, Zhao said: “I could meet the same fate as Dr. Luo Shuaiyu. But this isn’t about me. This is about stopping a bloodthirsty machine. Ms. Xiao Fang isn’t a journalist—she’s a mother who lost everything. Her voice is raw, real, and unbreakable.”
