(Minghui.org) Taiwan legislator Hsu Chih-chieh held a joint Taiwanese and Japanese international press conference about global legislation to combat forced organ harvesting on July 15, 2024. The human rights legislative committee of the Legislative Yuan invited a former doctor from China, Zheng Zhi, to speak at the press conference. Zheng Zhi was an intern in the Department of Urology at the Shenyang Army General Hospital when he participated in the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) live organ harvesting. He said hopes to tell more people about the atrocities that he witnessed.
In addition to Taiwanese legislators Hsu Chih-chieh and Chen Zhao-zi, representatives of the Taiwan Medical Association and the Taiwan Lawyers Association expressed their support for legislation on organ harvesting. Hiroaki Maruyama, the chairman of Japan’s “Stop Medical Genocide – Society for the Study of Organ Transplantation in China” (SMG Network) also attended the event.

Zheng Zhi was an intern at the Department of Urology at the Shenyang Army General Hospital, when in 1994, he, three other military doctors, a head nurse and a female nurse were asked to participate in a secret military mission. He was ordered to harvest the organs of an army officer who was under the age of 18.
Zheng Zhi said that at that time, the young officer’s hands, feet and neck were tied with thin ropes, and there were soldiers with submachine guns standing guard nearby. After the head nurse cut open the clothes for disinfection, a military doctor directly disemboweled the patient without using anesthesia. He made a large incision from under the xiphoid process (under the sternum) and cut directly to the umbilicus. The intestines were removed.
At that time, the medical providers were divided into two groups, each removing the left and right kidneys. A military doctor ordered Zheng Zhi to cut open the artery and vein, and when he did, blood gushed out. He recalled, “I immediately knew he was still alive, because the blood in the abdominal cavity was flowing.”
Then, the military doctor ordered him to remove the eyeball, but after taking off the bandage wrapped around his face, he said, “I saw the young officer’s eyes looking straight at me, and his eyelids were still moving. I said I really couldn’t do it. I really couldn’t do it. The other military doctor immediately took the hemostatic forceps and pressed the [young officer’s] forehead, and then directly dug out the eyeball with his right hand,” Zheng Zhi related, as he wept.
“After going through all this, I was about to collapse. I really couldn’t take any more. I quickly asked the director for a leave to go home. This was a great shock to me. The young officer was less than 18 years old, almost the same age as me... such a vibrant life. But I didn’t dare tell anyone. An officer warned me that if I told anyone, my life would be in danger.”
In 2005, a close confidant of a member of the CCP’s Politburo Standing Committee who had a good relationship with Zheng Zhi’s family visited him during the Chinese New Year and said, “In the basement of the rear garden of the Public Security Bureau in Wuhan, Hubei Province, there are many Falun Gong practitioners, including underage children.”
A Choice Between Good and Evil
Zheng Zhi stated, “Organ harvesting is a crime that has been committed by many hospitals from north to south in China for many years. In fact, it is no longer a secret. Because whether it is international reports or medical records of organ transplants performed by hospitals, it can be seen that a large number of people have had their organs harvested.”
Former Chinese doctor Zheng Zhi said he wants to tell everyone in the world that forced organ harvesting is a choice between good and evil.
He said he did not want to see thousands of families face such danger, and did not want this crime of live organ harvesting to happen to anyone again. He said, “I stood up today as a witness, to testify. To tell everyone in the world that this is a choice between good and evil. Facing this fact, it is the last call to everyone’s conscience. I hope that those who do not understand and are afraid can also muster up the courage to face the facts.”
At the end of 2005, Zheng Zhi traveled to Thailand through Vietnam to seek protection from the United Nations and finally arrived in Canada.
Huang Shu-ling, a retired professor at the General Education Center of the National Defense Medical College (in Taiwan), said, “The students we taught were military doctors from China. Two of them came forward to tell their stories, which were truly shocking.”
