Entering the van accompanied by armed soldiers, five surgeons, and nurses, Zheng Zhi stepped into a realm that would haunt him for the next twenty-five years.
At that time, Dr. Zheng was a resident physician at one of China’s largest military hospitals. His knowledge extended only as far as being part of a “secret military mission” near a military prison situated close to the northeastern Chinese city of Dalian.
Enveloped in light blue fabric, the vehicle’s four sides were concealed from prying eyes.
Upon the door’s opening, a quartet of sturdy soldiers transported a man whose extremities were bound with slender ropes that had deeply gouged into his flesh. The young man, not yet 18, possessed organs described by the surgical team as “healthy and fresh.”
A directive from a fellow doctor led Dr. Zheng to “step on” the man’s legs and “don’t let him move.” Complying, he secured the man’s legs with his hands, and to his astonishment, they emitted warmth. Blood now streamed from the man’s throat.
He observed as a surgeon incised the man’s abdomen while two others reached inside to extract a kidney each. Although the man’s legs spasmed and his throat exhibited movement, no audible sound emerged.
“Cut his artery and veins, quick!” urged a doctor to Dr. Zheng. As he carried out the task, an immense surge of blood sprayed onto Dr. Zheng’s gown and gloves. It was at this juncture that he received the command to remove the man’s eyes.
Gazing at the man’s countenance, Dr. Zheng met the gaze of a pair of wide-open eyes.
“It was horrifying beyond words. He was looking right at me. His eyelids were moving. He was alive,” Dr. Zheng recounted to The Epoch Times in July, marking the first instance he consented to divulge his narrative using his true identity.
