Between 1992 and 1995 he set up the Hebei Huaxia Zhineng Qigong Research Centre and Hebei Huaxia Zhineng Qigong Recovery Centre (which is now probably the largest medicineless hospital in the world). Over the years the centre has treated more that 300,000 patients with 180 different diseases, and achieved and overall effective rate of 95 percent. The use of qi had also been scientifically proven and documented to be effective in treating patients, to improve the yield of various agricultural and poultry products, to improve the quality of industrial production at virtually no additional cost at all.
