Hu Wanlin (Chinese: 胡万林, born 1949) was suspected of killing 146 people.[1]
Background[edit]
While in prison in 1993, he opened a medical practice.[2]
He was acquitted on a retrial in 1997. On release he continued practising medicine illegally in the northern Shanxi Province and northwestern Shaanxi Province where he allegedly started two hospitals. [1] This continued until February 1998, when he was banned by local authorities. Hu then went to Henan in June 1998.
Hu's 'treatments' were thought to have resulted in the death of at least 146 people.[1] Hu became well-known, having his medical practice and “medical miracles” described by a well-known Chinese novelist, Ke Yunlu. It seems that his malpractice continued for many years due to bribes paid to officials.[3]
Hu was arrested on January 18, 1999 in Shangqiu,[1] aged 50, on suspicion of causing nearly 150 deaths. He was convicted of practising medicine without a license on October 1, 2000, receiving 15 years imprisonment, suspension of voting rights for five years and a 150,000 yuan fine.[4] In 2014, shortly after Hu received an early release from imprisonment, state-run media reported that he had been responsible for another death: a 22-year-old college student attending another one of his "health retreats".[5]
