Belief in geomancy or feng shui has caused a Chinese woman in Anyang to cut the network cables of Tongye town. For depriving 8,000 of her town mates of internet and telephone service for one day, the resident could possibly face a lawsuit.
Mrs. Cheng deliberately severed the cables to improve the feng shui in her house, What’s on Weibo reported. She is a believer in the ancient Chinese practice of organizing a house or office based on geomancy’s principles which focuses on balance and harmony to keep out negative energy.
Electromagnetic Field Exposure
One possible reason behind Cheng’s action is she fears prolonged exposure to electromagnetic fields could negatively affect her health. A netizen possibly affected by the woman’s action suggested she move to the mountains if she believes the optic cables are bad for the brain.
Another netizen described Cheng as a cruel woman, explaining, “In the present-day era, you can cut off anything, but don’t cut off our wifi!” One netizen commented the incident shows the value of education.
Other Feng Shui Victims
Because of a possible lawsuit, one commenter added, “At least her feng shui will be very different in prison.” Similarly, a Hong Kong designer who used feng shui to dupe a 25-year-old woman into having sex four times to save her shaky relationship with her boyfriend is the reason why Joey Lo Wai-leuk was arrested in June 2015.
In Vietnam, Chuang Kuo Jen, a Taiwanese feng shui master, is being hunted by authorities for allegedly kidnapping a 3-year-old boy from Ho Chi Ming City. Vnexpress reported that Vietnamese border guards in Quang Ninh Province returned the child to his mother a month after he was allegedly abducted by Chuang.
The mother went on Dec. 2 to Chuang to check if the location of her company in the Vietnam capital city could help improve her wealth. She brought her son with her whom Chuang asked to be left with him so he could tour the child around Ho Chi Minh City on Dec. 3. The next day, the two were gone and the woman sought the help of authorities who eventually located her son in Guangdong Province.
