I am very grateful and honored to receive this award. Last month a
Chinese TV channel had a coverage of my activity. Its title was "a one-man
war against fraud". That's because in China we don't have an organization
like ACFE, and I have to fight fraud individually. But this description is
not very accurate. I do have many supporters, particularly, my wife. She is
here today. Without her love and support, I wouldn't be able to carry on
this fight for so long. When I started it 13 years ago, I never expected it
would last for so long. This happened in 2000 when the Internet was booming
in China, and many Chinese newspapers and magazines were online. I could
easily get information from China when I was living in California. I was
surprised to see that pseudoscience, fraud, misconduct, and corruption were
so widely spread in Chinese scientific community and health industry, and no
independent critical voices could be heard, so I decided to do something
about it. I set up a Web site, and eventually it became a flagship against
fraud among Chinese academics. We reported about 100 cases every year, but
that's just the tip of an iceberg. I do this work voluntarily. I am a
science writer. I earn my living by writing books, not by debunking fraud.
Nobody pays me to do it. But somebody did pay trying to stop me. I have
faced many threats, law suits, even an attempted murder. In an afternoon of
August 2010, in Beijing, I was assaulted by two hit men, using pepper spray,
hammer and iron bar as weapons. They were hired by a surgeon because I
exposed his malpractice that had harmed more than one thousand children. I
narrowly escaped the assault with minor injuries because the pepper spray
they used was ineffective. So my life was luckily saved by a fraudulent
product. Later the surgeon was caught by police and his surgical operation
was banned by Ministry of Health of China, but he was only sentenced for
five and half months. Now he is out of prison, reopens his clinic, continues
to do his banned surgical operation, and threaten me. I am not scared and
won't be stopped. I was forced to become a fighter, and since the fight has
started, I have to keep it going until the situation is somehow improved,
otherwise my efforts will be wasted. But I don't expect the situation will
have a dramatic improvement soon. In a country without democracy, rule of
law and freedom of speech, anti-fraud campaign is much more difficult than
you can imagine, and international support is precious. I deeply appreciate
your recognition. Thank you again for this honor. | l*******1 发帖数: 16217 | 5 这口语水平老中索男平均水平
