"Xilaijian caused my family discord"

Xinhua Anhui Channel (2005-08-09)

Hefei Evening News Reader's letter:

Reading your newspaper's July 21st 6-page report about "Xilaijian I was y touched by the report on "Xilaijian" on page 6 of your newspaper on July 21st. I think the "Xilaijian" propaganda techniques are very deceptive, not conducive to family harmony. It mainly adopts the "psychological suggestion method", and publicizes the product through a cycle of "lecturers" who take turns to come on stage and "trustees" who are invited to come on stage to tell the story. As the saying goes, a rumor said a thousand times will become the truth. It is attractive to people who are susceptible to psychological innuendo, those who are in a hurry, those who seek spiritual comfort, and those who lack medical knowledge. Coupled with pre-designed service language, such as calling "Dad" "Mom"? The old people are psychologically easier to accept.

I'm facing a family feud right now, and my mother, who is one of the customers of "Xilaijian," has offered to buy a "device". If the children then raise some objections to spending money on this fraudulent and worthless equipment, family battles will arise. From scolding their children for not being filial to the elderly, not as good as the "Xilaijian" lecturer's concern for their parents' health; to scolding their children for not allowing their parents to "Xilaijian" to find health, and even more so for thinking that their children are hoping for their own early death so that they can get their inheritance early; to be the enemy of their children, to see "Xilaijian" as a "device", to be the "device", to be the "device", to be the "device". Some even think that their children want them to die early so that they can get their inheritance sooner; they are enemies of their own children and regard the Xilaijian Experience Center as a happy place for them in their old age. After she paid 5,000 yuan for it, she went there every day to take lessons, sing, slap and experience. The opening of the museum must go, 6:00 a.m., out of the house, thunder, really in accordance with the "Xilaijian" instructors asked "cold, hot, windy, rain are going to go".

Not to say "Xilaijian" it tens of thousands of dollars worth of products geometry, the cheapest 5000 yuan a therapeutic instrument, analysis of its medical principle of gold, all materials, manufacturing labor costs, transportation and other aspects of the cost of no more than 400 yuan. Doesn't this show that it is a profiteering product? Why it can be sold at such a high price in the experience hall, is not our price department should check the nuclear price? Ms. Wu

Reporter investigation

Reporters interviewed on this matter, the city price bureau, price supervision department of a responsible comrade explained to us that, like "Xilaijian" such as health care equipment prices are through the market adjustment, the price of the seller and the user of the agreement between the pricing of the government is not in a position to intervene.

A staff member of the city's Fair Trade Bureau told reporters? Their bureau has also inspected such places that deal with health care instruments? But generally have a business license? Although there are exaggerated or false propaganda phenomenon, but the government departments can only regulate its operation, but can not be banned. For the "Xilai Jian" medical equipment publicity, the staff believes that the product is false publicity but can not be considered a pyramid scheme.
