On September 21, 2025, during the “Chinese Cultural Festival” held by the Chinese embassy in Duisburg, Germany, a group of Chinese dissidents protested against the event. These dissidents held up posters, distributed leaflets, and accused the Chinese Communist Party of organ harvesting, shocking the onlookers.
On that day, Wang Shoufeng, the Vice Chairman of the Chinese Democratic Front in Germany and co-founder of the New Citizens Movement European Union, along with members Wang Wenxiao, Chen Zhengui, Zhang Mai, and others, arrived at the scene. They distributed leaflets to passersby, revealing the hardships and oppression suffered by the Chinese people under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party.
They handed out a large number of leaflets exposing the “Chinese Cultural Festival” as a mere propaganda effort by the Chinese government, attempting to cover up the brutal authoritarian rule and human rights disasters within the country.
One of the most striking figures was Zhang Qi, a self-proclaimed survivor of forced organ harvesting by the CCP. She rushed into the center of the venue with her mother, holding up posters exposing the crime of organ harvesting and tearfully accusing: “I did not give birth to children for you to harvest organs!” “Xi Jinping, give back my left lung!”
On the poster Zhang Qi held, her own tragic experience was detailed. She publicly disclosed that she had her left lung removed by Dr. Cui Guanghui at the Zhengzhou University affiliated hospital, and she was even asked to purchase organs from others for transplantation. She condemned this as a “crime of killing on demand,” which was appalling.
Zhang Qi stated that she and her mother had been repeatedly suppressed when seeking justice in China.
Zhang Qi mentioned that her body bore wounds that could not be healed. After undergoing more than twenty surgeries, she had a persistent unhealed hole in her chest cavity that could not be closed, preventing her from lying flat to sleep and severely restricting her diet.
Why couldn’t these wounds heal? Zhang Qi stated that hospital staff intentionally did this, only using medical needles for temporary sutures, waiting for the next forced organ harvesting operation.
Zhang Qi and her mother expressed their sorrow and indignation, calling those involved “heartless” and vowed to share their tragic experiences to expose the crimes of the CCP to the world.
According to investigations by Trace International, Dr. Cui Guanghui, the head of thoracic surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, participated in organ transplantation procedures from August 1995 to December 2004.
The protest soon attracted security personnel, who forcibly removed Zhang Qi and her mother from the venue. However, the mother and daughter did not remain silent. They continued to hold up their posters and chant slogans at the entrance, attracting a large crowd of passersby who were shocked by their courage and experiences, prompting many to take photos and videos on their phones.
