All at once newspapers, magazines, movies and television were all reporting on this. Psychic children continued to be found. Comrade Qian Xue-Lin visited the editorial department of the "Natural Science" magazine. He gave them his support in this work. Following the suggestion of old Qian, the China Human Science Commission Preparatory Committee was established. The third stage was a stage of controversy. It lasted from September 1981 to June of 1982, about six months. Because of several not too accurate reports at that time, ‘a social controversy was aroused. Comrades with opposing viewpoints believed that psychic abilities was trickery, magic, and. ran counter to Marxism. On Septemver 26, the "Wen Hui Pao" published a speech by Comrade Yu Guang-Yuan. Following this, a full text of Yu Guang~Yuan's speech was published in "Knowledge is Strength." In the face of this, the China Human Science Commission convened its second preparatory meeting. They unanimously believed that they should respect the-truth, and that the research work should continue.. With the support of the leader of the National Defense Science Industries Commission, Comrade Zhangzhen-Huan, psychic children gave demonstrations in the central propaganda department, party schools, and for comrades Ye Jian-Ying and Fang Li. Scientific research personnel from universities and colleges all over China and from more than twenty units from science research agencies carried out joint testing of psychic children from all over. China. And, once -again they proved that this ability actually exists. In. June of 1982, following all the efforts described above, the central propaganda department issued a document that pointed out that this kind of research work could continue. This brought an end to the controversy. The fourth stage is the present stage of going even deeper. From the last half of.1982 until today, it has been more than a year. Looking back over this journey, we can see the crooked path that we travelled. Through diffi- culties and hard work, we gained the support of the leaders, and that is how we are where we are today. : As for what we have reaped in the past five years, Comrade He Zong-Yu said that we have had an abundant harvest over the past five years. 1. In sectentific experiments we have demonstrated the reality of the human psychic function, as well as its universality, inducibility, and multiplicity; changes in physio- logical phenomenon of EEG, blood flow, temperature of main and collaterial channels and accupuncture points, and the (Chinese medicine) pulse condition; changes in the physical phenomenon of light, electricity, magnetism, and radio- activity. With various types of testing, a valuable amount of data has been accumulated on all of these. 2. On the theoretical aspect, Professor Qian Xue- Lin has proposed the theory of "The Human Functional State." The proposal of this theory has summarized all of the phenomena we have seen, and it draws a clear line between all sorts of mystics and agnostics. It has laid a foundation for our research work. 3. Organizationally, we have already formed our research forces, and our leadership structure has already reached certain dimensions. -17- Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300330001-8
