    The first guy appears here as a victim of his ingrate children who refuse to lend him money, here as a guy who’s down on his luck and out of work, and again here as a guy who gets run over by illegal loggers who cut down all the trees in the forest he spent 40 years planting

    Safe to say mr. old man here is probably an just an actor who churns out clickbait slop for chinese social media that the falun gong lazily clipped and blurred for their thumbnail, although they might have a new sob story for him to act out. These clips about sensational and over-the-top completely unbelievable stories are everywhere on douyin and are usually targeting the middle-aged and up demographic with content about the ungrateful younger generations stuffing their parents in a meat grinder for money or refusing to get married and have children. So in a way the falun gong isn’t really doing anything new here, this is just another bullshit story on top of the thousands of others he’s probably appeared in. I guess the falun gong is setting themselves up to be the go-to importer of Chinese slop
