Xue Zhishang, section chief of National Security Brigade in Zhongjiang County, Sichuan Province has followed Jiang's regime in persecuting Falun Gong. From outward appearances, this man is a public servant, but in fact he is morally bankrupt. When the SARS epidemic was in full swing, his mistress and her child, whom he had kept in secrecy, came back to see him from an affected area. However, Xue was afraid to get SARS, so he refused to see them, which led to the scandal being brought into the open.

His superiors removed his title as section chief and relieved him of all duties. It is said that his wife has filed for divorce.
