3. Once again, he swallowed a saw blade

The prison officers said that Cheng Peiming recovered well after his 2004 surgery, while medical and daily records showed his health was good despite him frequently going on hunger strikes. On the afternoon of March 2, 2006, Cheng swallowed foreign objects again and was taken to Longnan Hospital in Daqing for treatment.

The hospital's tests revealed he had swallowed three broken saw blades, which had already reached the small intestine and had the chance of passing naturally.

Doctor Li Shuangqi noted, "If the metal passes the ileocecal valve, it may exit the body naturally. He was given oral paraffin oil and was closely monitored."

But out of Li's expectation, the next day when he arrived at work, he got the news that Cheng had escaped.

It was via the hospital's fire exit that Cheng, who had been staying on the fifth floor, escaped.. The security department explained that at the time, the hospital lacked modern security measures, and the fire exit was usually unlocked. The main entrance to the hospital was often left open due to the frequent comings and goings of mothers and newborns.

That night, Cheng got up several times to use the bathroom. At dawn, he told the guard that he needed to use the toilet again but complained of stomach pain and a lack of toilet paper. While the guard went back to the room to get paper, Cheng disappeared.

Looking back, prison officials guessed that Cheng saw the hospital as a weak point in their security after his previous visit and used this chance to escape.

After Cheng's escape, his whereabouts remained unclear for some time. It was later learned that he had fled to Thailand and was detained there by local police in late 2019. By early 2020, Cheng had escaped to the United States.

Recently, during the investigation of a Falun Gong case, law enforcement officials discovered that the scar left from Cheng's surgery has become a useful tool for Falun Gong operatives, who planned to smuggle him out of the country. They intended to hype Cheng up as a "survivor of organ harvesting", a "living witness" who could testify to alleged large-scale organ harvesting in China.

At a Falun Gong press conference on September 4, 2024, former US Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) Robert Destro admitted that he was involved in this so-called "rescue" mission, calling it one of his "greatest achievements" as Assistant Secretary.

Doctor Cheng Liwen, who performed the surgery, found the claimed of Cheng's organ harvesting so absurd as laughable. "It can't be more ridiculous! Our hospital didn't even have the capability to perform organ transplants back then, which we still don't have today," he said. The surgery hadn't involved any removal or injury of Cheng's liver or lungs, two organs often used for transplantation.

Even Cheng's family was shocked. "I was there during both hospitalizations and didn't notice anything unusual," said Cheng Peiming's sister, Cheng Peifeng. Wang Min, who divorced Cheng in 2005, added, "When I went to the prison to handle the divorce, there wasn't any mentioning of the so-called 'organ harvesting'."

In conclusion, the rumor that Cheng Peiming had his organs harvested is entirely fabricated, a political drama orchestrated by the Falun Gong cult to smear China's image. But the drama is so absurd as only to deal a fatal blow to the credibility of its own fabricators.
