Are there really people with exceptional abilities? Witnessing remarkable psychokinesis — first meeting Sun Chu-Lin

By Prof. Si-Chen Lee

Meeting a remarkable person by chance

In 1995 I applied to National Taiwan University for a sabbatical, partly to let body and mind unwind and store up energy for the work ahead, and partly to use the chance to look for a breakthrough in my research into exceptional human functions.

In September I went to the mainland to visit family and friends, staying about a week in Beijing. The best-known person with exceptional abilities in China at the time was Zhang Bao-Sheng, and I badly wanted the chance to call on him, though with no family connection and no introduction it hardly seemed possible. As luck would have it, a friend invited me to dinner shortly before I set off, and among the guests was a Mr Li from the mainland who also had exceptional abilities. I took the liberty of asking him whether there was any way to find Zhang Bao-Sheng. Mr Li kindly gave me a telephone number, which he said was Mr Zhang's in Beijing. So I put together a few of my own papers on qigong and exceptional functions and prepared to present myself to Mr Zhang uninvited once I reached Beijing.

Beijing kept me busy for several days, and when a gap finally opened up I managed, after some back and forth, to reach Mr Zhu, Mr Zhang's secretary. I went straight over with my papers and my card. Mr Zhu explained, tactfully, that a meeting with Mr Zhang would be difficult. I was a little disappointed, but I left the material with him anyway and asked a few questions.

My card and my papers seem to have convinced him that I was a researcher in earnest rather than someone chasing a spectacle, because after a moment's thought he said: "Let me do this. I will introduce you to someone whose ability is every bit the equal of Zhang Bao-Sheng's — though whether we can reach them just now I cannot promise." He made a call there and then, explaining that I had come from Taiwan, and so on. It was arranged that I would go over that afternoon. "Not bad luck at all," he said. "Professor Shen and the person with the ability are both in today. They are not often at the office." I thanked him from the heart; he did not know me from anyone, and could easily have paid me no attention, yet he had gone out of his way to help.

At the same time I was puzzled. In Taiwan I had only ever heard that Zhang Bao-Sheng's abilities were formidable — how could there be another person just as formidable?

That afternoon I found my way to the China University of Geosciences as arranged, and met Professor Shen Jin-Chuan, who works on human body science, and the person said to be "every bit the equal of Zhang Bao-Sheng" — Sun Chu-Lin.

After we had talked things over, Professor Shen showed me the results and the video recordings of the experiments they had done. Every one of them left me speechless: breaking through spatial barriers, consciousness-directed biological work such as making seeds sprout and put out roots, and more — things simply beyond imagining. My own research into exceptional human functions at that point amounted to no more than preliminary work on finger reading; it had never occurred to me that such functions could produce effects so complex and so startling, still less that one person might possess so many different ones at once. She had command of at least sixty, and every one of them was a challenge to existing knowledge in physics and biology.

Leaving the university I was so stirred up I could almost have run down the street cheering, because I had glimpsed the wide horizon of human body science research, and how many questions in physics, medicine, biology and evolution were waiting there to be opened up. They say a hunter's heart lifts at the sight of game; it is the same for people in research. Finding a new subject to study leaves you delighted and impatient at once, and hardly able to believe your own luck.

It was Mr Zhu's willingness to make an introduction, and my happening to knock on his door that particular day, that let me meet researchers on the mainland and opened the way to the collaboration that followed. The meeting moved my understanding of exceptional human functions a long way forward: it made clear that abilities of this kind can be trained and developed, and that even an exceptional ability cannot go against the laws of nature.

In her seed-germination experiments, for example, Sun Chu-Lin found that beans were relatively easy to bring into sprout, while wheat seeds would not respond however many times she tried. Only after consulting agricultural specialists did she learn that wheat puts out roots before it sprouts. So she first asked the wheat seeds to "put out roots, put out roots", and then to sprout — and this time it worked. The example also tells us that an exceptional ability on its own can only do so much; paired with knowledge, it becomes far more effective.

A dead peanut brought back to life

My collaborative research with Sun Chu-Lin began in 1997. To test whether a completely dead peanut could be "brought back to life and made to sprout", I asked a professor in the Department of Agronomy at National Taiwan University to treat Tainan No. 11 peanuts under high heat and high humidity so that every cell was destroyed, and then to culture them by the normal procedure; not one sprouted. I vacuum-packed 30 of these peanuts and took them to Beijing. On the day of the experiment the package was opened, the peanuts taken out, and the witnesses present signed their names on the shells. Sun Chu-Lin then began. In 37 minutes one of the peanuts had come back and put out a shoot 2.8 cm long, with the witnesses' signatures still clearly visible on it.

Meeting Sun Chu-Lin dispelled the last of my doubts, and left me convinced that some part of the myths handed down to us is fact.

In 2001 Wu Mei-Yun, editor-in-chief of Echo magazine, went with me to Beijing to interview Professor Shen Jin-Chuan and Sun Chu-Lin, setting down in dialogue form the history of how she developed her abilities, how she works with them and what she has made of them. The aim was to unlock the myths, so that readers could see for themselves how the celestial eye operates and interacts with physical objects — first-hand material on how myths come into being. It is a rare and precious record of what the universe may actually be like, and a valuable reference for the scientific study of it.

Unfortunately, in June 2005 I took office as President of National Taiwan University, and to avoid controversy I asked Wu Mei-Yun to hold the book back until June 2013, after I stepped down. In March 2016, two and a half years after I left the presidency, Echo finally published it, under the title Latent Potential or Exceptional Function? Anyone drawn to the arts of the immortals or to the magical world of Harry Potter is very welcome to take a look.
