In May 1992, Mr. Li Hongzhi held the first Falun Gong class in China. In September 1992, Falun Gong was officially accepted as a direct branch of the China Qigong Research Association and received a nationwide permit to teach Falun Dafa in China. Later, the China TV Broadcasting Agency Publishing Company and some other official publishing companies published Mr. Li’s works, Falun Gong and Zhuan Falun.
Because of its tremendous power to improve health, Falun Gong stood out from the thousands of other qigongs of that time and spread quickly.
