Anti counterfeiting achievements
In the last 20 years of the 20th century, when pseudo Qigong and special function deception were rampant, Sima Nan was an irreplaceable Don Quixote hero. By performing, speaking and writing books, he persistently exposed the charlatans. For this reason, he was framed, retaliated, detained and injured. For more than ten years, he has been calling for scientific civilization and has caused extensive social influence. His vivid performance of imitating the special function and his anti pseudoscience report have the impact of vision and thought. Yan Xin, Zhang Hongbao, Hu Wanlin, Shen Chang, Li Hongzhi and many other famous masters of magic power were defeated by him one after another. After more than ten years of self abusive practice, Sima Nan has mastered the unique skills of "special functions" in the world, such as swallowing fire, shaking pills, bending spoon, thinking sensor, driving around the top of his head, beating cattle across the mountain, and passing by car. His mantra: I'm fake, who's real? All the masters of Shengong are deterred.
