Translated from 庞勋案发酵 生前好友忆:不求名利的干净男孩
[NTDTV, February 18, 2023] Over the past few days, the case of Pang Xun, who was persecuted to death by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for practicing Falun Gong, has continued to attract international attention.
On Feb 17, Pang Xun’s friend came forward to speak out for the first time. He told NTDTV every bit of contact he had with this kind-hearted boy.
Pang Xun’s friend told NTDTV: “On February 10th, I saw someone posted the footage of Pang Xun’s corpse on Twitter. I was shocked when I saw it. I quickly contacted my friend in China, who then got in touch with Pang Xun’s parents. I then learned that this footage was actually not snapped by his parents, although they were indeed in the video. Since the footage of Pang Xun’s corpse has been circulated overseas, I thought let’s come out and talk about this matter.”
He revealed: “Pang Xun and our group of friends have known one another for more than ten years. He doesn’t swear in his daily life. As Pang Xun is handsome and has a good voice, it’s actually possible for him to enter the entertainment industry. Among our classmates, often, many of them would persuade him to enter the entertainment industry, but I think fame and wealth are not particularly tempting to him.”
Pang Xun graduated from Communication University of China, and later joined Sichuan Radio Station as a host. In addition to the widely publicized photos, NTDTV reporter also uncovered his graduation video.
Pang Xun’s friend said: “He is very, very pure and has never had any scandals. As Pang Xun is not a person who pursues fame and fortune, he is a very unique person among the people I know.”
“Because his grandma practiced Falun Gong, he has been cultivating it since he was a child. He persisted in his belief even when the Chinese Communist Party started persecuting Falun Gong.”
His friend also shared that he has changed from misunderstanding Falun Gong to respecting Falun Gong through his contact with Pang Xun.
Pang Xun’s friend: “As far as I know, Falun Gong practitioners are different from the other prisoners. As long as Falun Gong practitioners are willing to sign the statement saying that they would quit practicing Falun Gong, the CCP authorities would greatly reduce their sentence, and even let them go. However, no Falun Gong practitioners would sign the statement. So, I think they are quite strong. I think they are standing firm in their faith, that is, they think if they sign the statement, they would not forgive themselves in their heart. Maybe, they believe in the existence of higher beings.”
Wang Zhiyuan, head of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG), said: “Such a sunny, young man was beaten to death by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). WOIPFG will thoroughly investigate the criminal conduct of all institutions, organizations, and individuals involved in the persecution of Falun Gong, no matter how long it takes, no matter how far and deep we have to search.”

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.
