People News: On May 8, Luo Shuaiyu, an intern doctor in the transplant department of Xiangya Second Hospital, mysteriously fell to his death. Before his death, he had reported allegations of illegal organ transplants within the hospital, implicating the hospital director. His father has voiced suspicions online, believing that his son was murdered. The Epoch Times has obtained some evidence Luo Shuaiyu collected before his death, along with recordings from his parents revealing the internal details. The materials indicate that Xiangya Second Hospital was searching for child donors for transplants and research.

According to a report by The Epoch Times journalist Jiang Zuoyi, these materials are divided into five parts: Recording 1, where Xiangya Second Hospital requests Luo to find 12 child donors aged 3–9; Recording 2, an explanation from Luo’s father about “Recording 1”; Recording 3, an audio recording of the scene where organs were being harvested; a screenshot of text describing the events from someone close to Luo’s family; and Recording 4, in which Luo tells his father, “It’s worse than you think.”

The person close to Luo's family provided The Epoch Times with these materials.

Luo Shuaiyu, from Neijiang, Sichuan, was 28 years old. Admiring the reputation of “Peking Union in the North, Xiangya in the South,” he gave up the opportunity to pursue graduate studies at a university in Guangdong, instead choosing Xiangya Second Hospital. Xie Xubiao, the deputy director of organ transplantation at Xiangya Second Hospital, was his mentor. He was scheduled to graduate in June this year, but he fell to his death in his dormitory on May 8.

His father described him as a “top student, kind-hearted” child in a video posted on social media.

His mother said that on May 3, Luo had told her on the phone that he would graduate in a month and that he would soon earn money to give his parents “a happy retirement.” On the 8th, however, she received a call from the hospital saying her son had had an accident.

After Luo’s death, his parents found broken glasses on his bed and signs of a struggle in his room, leading them to suspect that he was murdered. After being forced to sign an agreement with the hospital stating that “Luo Shuaiyu died by suicide,” they retrieved Luo’s phone and computer from the school, restored the data, and found extensive reports alleging illegal organ harvesting and trafficking, involving Deputy Director Liu Xiangfeng of the Trauma and Emergency Medical Center at Xiangya Second Hospital.

Recording 1: Tasked with Finding 12 Child Donors Aged 3–9

In a recording obtained on the 27th, someone at Xiangya Second Hospital assigned Luo a task to find child donors with specific requirements: “3–9-year-old children, divided into two groups: 3–5 and 6–9, with three males and three females in each group, making a total of six for each group. Samples are to be collected under certain conditions—blood samples from the inferior vena cava are required.”

The person identified as the “liaison” on the phone explained that the project was led by the hospital’s director and was intended as a long-term initiative. “This is led by Director Mu (phonetic) and Director Xie. I’m the liaison, so I’ve added relevant personnel, and since you’re joining the department, you need to familiarize yourself with the organ collection procedures and details.”

The “liaison” gave detailed instructions to Luo for locating child donors:

“You’ll need to travel frequently and observe the children, then document physical features on our form.”

“Keep track of medical histories and compile a summary. If suitable donors are available, collect the necessary information and follow through on obtaining organs.”

“They need to collect approximately 10 ml of blood from the donor’s inferior vena cava for preservation and additional procedures. Get familiar with it after a couple of attempts—especially the challenging process of collecting organs from young children. Children’s organs are fragile, particularly the kidneys.”

Recording 2: Luo’s Father: “My Son Resisted This Task”

In explaining, Luo’s father stated that the call came shortly after Luo received his acceptance notice from Xiangya Second Hospital, instructing him to obtain two groups of 3–9-year-old child donors within three years for the director and his mentor, supposedly for “research on pediatric kidney transplantation” and “experimental data for research papers.”

In the recording, Luo’s father said, “If they assigned him this task, they should have ensured he was qualified and taught him the legal guidelines. But my son resisted this task.”

The official website of Central South University Xiangya Second Hospital shows that Luo’s mentor, Xie Xubiao, holds an M.D., serves as chief physician, professor, and doctoral advisor, and is currently the director of the renal transplant department, deputy director of the organ transplant center, and a member of various transplant committees.

Recording 3: On-Site Organ Harvesting

In a recording received on October 28, Luo was sent to a hospital about ten kilometers from Shaoyang, Hunan, to harvest organs. The dialogue between individuals involved in the procedure included:

“Hey… do we need the liver?”

“No need for the liver.”

“So we’re only taking the kidneys?”

“Have we informed the family?”

“No?”

“Yes.”

“How are we distributing it?”

“From here?”

“Yes, let’s go.”

“This liver could still be used for transplantation. Do you want it?”

“Ha ha ha…”

A person close to the Luo family told The Epoch Times: “When Luo went to harvest organs, he declined to take the liver, but the surgeons asked if others wanted it. There were other hospital personnel present at the scene.”

He added, “They are accustomed to this organ trade. In the recording, they spoke lightheartedly about it.”

Insider Reveals More Details

A person close to the Luo family had in-depth discussions with Luo’s father about Luo’s death and learned some unknown details. He disclosed that Luo was killed because he reported misconduct by doctors in the hospital’s transplant department, including Liu Xiangfeng and others: “They conspired and… (suggesting they killed him).” He added, “He (Luo’s father) said the hospital has a history of people mysteriously dying—graduate students.”

He also noted that Luo’s death was due to his refusal to procure 12 child donors: “They transferred him to the emergency room. He never complied, so he had two failing grades. The day before the incident, he was pressured again, and he threatened to report them. The next day, the incident happened.”

Previously restored recordings from Luo’s phone showed that the transplant department referred to the emergency room as a “morgue.” Luo suspected that it might house “potential organ donor candidates” sent by “relevant collaborators.”

Recording 4: Luo Shuaiyu: “It’s Worse Than You Think”

Luo had reported Liu Xiangfeng multiple times with classmates. A recording on Luo’s phone captured Liu removing a patient’s small intestine without consent for “intestinal transplant” surgery.

On October 31, Liu Xiangfeng was sentenced to 17 years for intentional injury, bribery, and embezzlement, and fined 420,000 RMB.

Liu was accused of exaggerating conditions and fabricating symptoms to perform unnecessary surgeries on six patients, causing five to sustain serious injuries and disabilities and one to suffer minor injuries.

On August 26, Hunan Health Net released its investigation results, noting that Liu “removed a healthy pancreas and spleen, compromising the patient’s condition; removed a healthy intestine, disregarding the patient’s safety; and established an unauthorized emergency room to perform illegal surgeries.”

In a recording, Luo’s father recounted that Luo told him in early 2022, “How could a doctor mistake the small intestine for the appendix?” Luo replied, “Professor Liu Xiangfeng is a Ph.D., a professional medical professor—do you think he’d confuse the two? It’s worse than you think.”

On October 31, Luo’s father posted a video on social media expressing dissatisfaction with Liu’s 17-year sentence, asking, “Did Liu Xiangfeng’s hands touch Luo Shuaiyu’s blood? Are those ‘illegal organ traders’ he and Luo reported in the recordings accomplices?”

A person close to the Luo family told The Epoch Times that Luo’s father has substantial additional evidence yet to be disclosed.
