At the Oriental Health Fair in Beijing ( Oriental Health Expo) in 1993 the practice of Falun Gong was honored as " Star School of Qi Gong and Mr. Li Hongzhi as " the most popular master of Qi Gong " . Despites its growing popularity or perhaps because of it some Party ideologues felt offended and threatened by Falun Gong . They could not accept the fact that after more than forty years, putting the Marxist doctrine into practice , many people ( including members of the Communist Party ) is looking for his moral and spiritual guidance elsewhere .
The subject of their interest was to find excuses for making an ideological struggle with Falun Gong public. Without taking into account the positive impact of the Falun Gong to the company , they began their efforts to discredit .
