A nuisance called superstition

By Liu Peng | China Daily | Updated: 2013-08-09 09:31

One of the salient principles of the Communist Party of China is that members should not have religious faith. By extension, it means Party and government officials, who are political elites and have been selected through a rigorous process, should not be superstitious.

Of course, a majority of Party officials are hard working and free of superstitious beliefs. But some of them have fallen prey to superstition and mysticism. Many media outlets have reported that quite a few officials believe in divine intervention, for which they seek the help from fortunetellers and "qigong masters", and in some cases appoint them as their advisors.

In some extreme cases, officials have even changed highway building or urban development plans on the advice of fortunetellers to invite good luck to further their careers. Such officials should know that it is unscientific, rather ludicrous, to ignore experts and seek the advice of clairvoyants and fortunetellers in such matters, let alone allow them to influence their decisions.

Some fortunetellers have become stars overnight. Wang Lin from Pingxiang, Jiangxi province, is one of them. After some celebrities and well-known entrepreneurs were seen visiting him and posted their photographs with him on their micro-blogs, this self-proclaimed "qigong master" drew the attention of the media and the public. Soon he was exposed as a trickster. As Abraham Lincoln said: You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

Wang's fall from "grace" has become fodder for the media, which are busy reporting how many senior officials, entrepreneurs and celebrities used to seek Wang's advice and how much money they paid him.

But the question is: How could so many "masters" like Wang flourish in the country? How could Wang and his ilk have attracted so many officials who are not supposed to have religious faith?

For almost 2,000 years, Confucianism ruled Chinese people's minds. The influence of Confucianism started fading when imperial rule weakened. Soon nationalism became the driving force for the majority of Chinese people, followed quickly by communism, which exhorts people to discard religion and superstition, and be loyal to the ideals of the Party.
