8.18.5.2. Li Hongzhi’s hagiography (李洪志的圣徒传记)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Hongzhi mentions that there are two versions of the biography:
-
An unofficial biography appeared in the first of Li’s major publications, Zhongguo Falun Gong, supposedly authored by journalist Zhu Huiguang (朱慧光).
The full text appears to be at available at: http://qingqing.freebbs.tw/viewthread.php?tid=130### (God bless Taiwanese piracy, archive)
The Life and times of Li Hongzhi by Benjamin Penny (2003) gives the full title of the section + a translation (originally in pinyin, but why?!?! :-)):
法輪旋轉新天地-記李洪志先生和他創立的法輪功
"The wheel of the law revolves the new cosmos - on Li Hongzhi and the Falun Gong he founded".
-
A second, official spiritual biography appeared in early editions of Falun Gong’s primary text, Zhuan Falun.
It is shorter than the first, and is marked as authored by the "Falun Dafa Research Society’s President" (法轮功研究会会长).
The Wiki quotes The Religion of Falun Gong by Benjamin Penny (2012).
Penny says that it was removed in 1999 (presumably to remove some more glaring magical bullshit help with internationalization).
A possible Chinese copy might be found at: http://qingqing.freebbs.tw/viewthread.php?tid=165### inside a 1994 version of Zhuan Falun.
The section is entitled "中国法轮功创始人、法轮功研究会会长 李洪志先生小传", so literally tranlated as a "profile" (小传) rather than a full biography. The index marks it as 附 (addendum), and it comes at the end of the book.
