Introduction to Zhang Xiangqian’s life

I, Zhang Xiangqian, am a male farmer with a junior high school degree, born in Lujiang County, Anhui Province. I was born on August 26 (in the lunar calendar), 1967 in Xiaohuying, Wangdu Brigade, Niushou Commune, Jinniu District, Lujiang County, Anhui Province (now renamed as the 4th Village Group of Beiwei Village, Taichuangyuan, Lujiang County). I have currently moved to 111 Erlongxin Street, Tongda Town, Lujiang County, 3 kilometers away, to make a living by welding and repairing bicycles.

I was born in an extremely poor family. Not only did I lack clothes and hunger, but I also had no shoes to wear in late autumn. I had to stand barefoot on straw, my feet froze and cracked, and they ached deeply at night.

My mother almost starved to death when she was a child. My mother's family was located in Shitou Town, near our Niushou Commune (Township[1]). Her family originally had six people, five of whom starved to death.

She was adopted as a child bride (Tongyangxi[2]) in our village at a young age. Unfortunately, the boy she would marry in the future also starved to death. The boy's family married her to my father. My father and this deceased boy shared the same surname and family, and had a good relationship. In addition, my father was an extremely upright and kind man.

When I was very young, I fell ill once. It was too serious and I was about to die. My mother didn't have the money to take me for treatment, but it happened that my uncle came back from another city and met me. He had two children who had died recently, which might have touched his heart with compassion. He gave my mother one yuan, and my mother went to the hospital to cure my illness.

At that time, the cost of treatment was very low. My mother often told me that my life was only worth one yuan. My mother never wanted to say why my father didn't care about me at that time. It was possible that the father was not at home at the time.

I often had headaches since I was young, but I didn't know what the problem was. At that time, my family didn't have the money to check. I still have frequent headaches and have had many tests now, but the doctor is unsure of the cause. When I was a child, headaches were not just ordinary pain, but rather drowsiness, on the brink of life and death, and I often had many hallucinations in a daze.

At that time, my family was extremely poor, and when I had a problem, I never went for treatment. There was no money to go for treatment. My mother could only let me sleep. Later on, my body was as soft as cotton, and whenever I sweated heavily, my mother happily said, "It's better, it's better!" Sure enough, it will get better soon.

After growing up, my body remained conflicted. I sometimes had headaches and weakness. I couldn't even stand, but sometimes my energy was particularly good. I once let out a loud roar on the dynamometer, pulling over 295 kg, which startled the people around me.

When I was about seven or eight years old, there was a time when I was alone herding geese on a sandy area, when I suddenly saw several misty things moving rapidly in front of me, one of which suddenly pounced on me. At that time, I felt a "buzzing" sound in my head, and I suddenly went blind. I couldn't help but squat down. It took me a long time to wake up, and the mist in front of me disappeared completely.

Before that, I didn't see a UFO either, only a red light flashed in the western sky. It was probably between afternoon and evening, around four or five o'clock. The red light happened to appear near the sun, and there were many red clouds near the sun at that time, so I didn't care if there were UFOs or something like that.

This is the strangest thing I encountered when I was a child, and I still remember it deeply.

Since around the age of twelve or thirteen, I always dreamed at night, dreaming that I lived on another planet. On this planet, the sunlight didn't seem very strong, and the light leaned towards blue. There were almost no plants on this planet, and on the surface, it seemed that it was not suitable for humans to live. People lived deeply underground. They were riding extremely fast transportation, able to quickly travel back and forth between the ground and underground.

The most impressive thing for me was that there were a large number of extremely large and complex buildings built on this planet, above and underground. Most of them were made of metal with a lead-gray color tone, and the color of the entire planet was monotonous and dull.

It's not strange for a person to occasionally have such dreams. However, I had been dreaming for several years, for such a long time, and my dreams were sometimes very clear, which made me think about the reasons behind them.

In addition to the encounter that happened when I herded geese, I also encountered many strange things when I was a child. I now speculate that it may be related to the aliens.

Once I had an eye disease that became increasingly severe. My family didn't have the money to go for treatment, which dragged on for more than half a year. The severity ranges from occasional glimpsing of light throughout the day, to a level where I can hardly see anything and completely blind all day.

I remember back then, only at four or five o'clock in the afternoon could I see a beam of light coming in from the window, shining on the dust in the room, forming a light beam. I could only barely see this light beam.

Every time at this moment, I felt a bit comforted - my eyes could still see, and there was still hope for their healing. Until one day, this light beam was no longer visible to me. I finally went completely blind. I really cried until all my tears dried.

When my eyes couldn't open, my mother daubed them with her saliva. At first it worked, but later it didn't work. She had no idea. She couldn't give a penny, nor could she borrow a penny, so she couldn't take me to the hospital for treatment.

At that time, every family was extremely poor, and people were very ignorant and numb. Many children died, and the sadness of their family members was not as great as the death of a kitten or puppy.

I ended up almost blind and totally unable to see the way. I could only sit by the bed all day, or lie on the bed, with wild thoughts in my mind and many illusions appearing in front of me, but I couldn't see anything.

One day, while I was sleeping, I suddenly felt that the room had become brightly red. Several people came in and packed me into a tube. My head was tightly wrapped in a cloth bag, and my eyes seemed to have countless small insects drilling inside.

Soon, my eyes unexpectedly recovered.

Once, I suffered from nephritis and it took me a long time to get treatment, resulting in a serious condition. Later on, I didn't even have the strength to lift my legs and cross the threshold. My mother asked a barefoot doctor[3] at the doorstep, "Why does it seem like my son A' Qian has gained weight recently?"

The barefoot doctor looked at it and repeatedly scolded, "This swelling is Yao-yan (referring to nephritis in the dialect), how can it be gaining weight? Why are you so careless! It's too late, and your son will probably not be saved."

The doctor came to treat me, muttering under his breath, "Might as well treat a dead horse as if it's alive[4]". Later, in my sleep, I felt the room turn blazing red, and several people arrived. I was put into a cylinder and felt numerous soft tubes entering through my anus, extending throughout my entire body. Soon, my illness was completely cured. The doctor couldn't believe it and kept exclaiming, "How strange, how strange!"

When my mother saw this doctor passing by our house, he didn't even glance back and walked straight ahead. She asked, "Why don't you give my Ah Qian an injection?" The doctor seemed angry and said, "Your child is cured, what's the need for an injection?"

We live in a remote rural area. As a child, I witnessed many people harmed by superstitions and charlatans, and I developed a strong hatred for these charlatans and superstitions.

I thought the strange people who treated me at night were gods, which left me feeling conflicted. It wasn't until later, when I read about aliens in a magazine, that this puzzle in my mind was solved.

When I was in junior high, I read about aliens and speculated that as a child, while herding geese, I must have encountered them. At that moment of our encounter, the consciousness and memories of one of them might have entered my mind. Since then, I've always had these alien memories, which explain those bizarre dreams.

I've always been just "me", but since I can remember, or perhaps since that odd geese-herding incident when I was seven or eight, I've always felt there's another "me" inside my head.

I've told these strange experiences to people around me, but everyone thought I was lying. My neighbor, a relative named Zhang Houfa, often called me "Liar Lao San, Liar Lao San" (a local term for a notorious liar). Later, many of my strange experiences remained untold, especially after becoming an adult.

From the age of seven or eight until I was 19, I encountered aliens several times. At the age of 19, I had an encounter where I set foot on an alien planet and traveled for a month. After that, I never met any aliens again, nor had any contact or strange experiences.

The aliens I met after I was seven or eight, I guess, were not the same type I encountered while herding geese. The aliens I met during geese herding might have been from a highly advanced technological society, whereas the ones I met later seemed to have lesser technological capabilities, possibly much lesser. Their objective might have been connected to my experience of herding geese, possibly seeking something from me.

After my experience of herding geese, my encounters with aliens usually happened at night. I would sense their impending arrival, thinking to myself, "They are coming, they are coming". And soon enough, they would appear.

When they came, without speaking, I could understand their intentions. Seeing these mysterious beings, I felt no fear. They always came at night. The first sign was the walls turning red, and they would call me outside, passing directly through the walls.

When returning, they would bring me back, usually in the morning, typically placing me back in my bed. I even doubted whether it was all a dream.

Once, when they were bringing me back, I asked to be left on a haystack in front of a cowshed in our village. The next day, I indeed found myself sleeping on that haystack. When I returned home, my mother had already gotten up, opened the door, and was sweeping the floor. She didn't ask where I came from.

Years later, I still questioned whether my childhood experiences were just dreams. But the incident of sleeping on the haystack, which was undoubtedly real, convinced me that these encounters were not merely dreams.

In the early summer of 1985, when I was 19, I had my last encounter with aliens. Thereafter, I had no contact with them.

I was born in 1967, and according to our rural calculation, I would be 19. I am certain it was 1985 based on many letters I wrote then, stating I was 19 when I had my last encounter with aliens. According to the rural age calculation, being born in 1967, it should be 1985. I didn't look at a calendar immediately after returning from the alien planet; I also didn't have the intention to find evidence at the time.

When I was 19, the aliens took me, and I traveled on an alien planet for a month. However, on Earth, it was only a night. Their time was different from ours.

This time, as an adult who had personally visited an alien planet, the experience left a profound impact on me. The intense shock of this journey made me firmly believe that my multiple encounters with aliens were real.

After returning from the alien planet, I was so deeply moved that I vaguely realized the potential of alien technology to cause earth-shattering changes on Earth. I frantically began to publicize this matter. Over several decades, I must have written thousands of letters to various organizations, but I only received a few responses. Most replies were cold statements like "This matter is unrelated to us".

Due to the long-term letter writing, my right middle finger became deformed. During this period, I even applied for a patent for a new type of fountain pen.

I also visited relevant organizations with my materials, but they simply ignored my documents and explanations.

Some netizens suggested that these people might not accept the idea of a farmer encountering aliens, considering it too absurd. 

Frequently, I didn't even mention aliens. Sometimes, before I could even speak, perhaps judged by my simple attire, they would tell me to leave!

Since most of my letters went unanswered, and those few responses stated the issue was irrelevant to them, and with no one acknowledging my visits, my enthusiasm gradually faded.

I have a keen interest in physics. When I came across the concept of magnetic fields in books, I wondered, "What exactly is a field?" The other "me" in my head immediately answered: 

"The essence of a field is simply a space of moving changes". I pondered this answer for a long time, grasping only part of its meaning.

Once, I saw an introduction to Einstein's theory of relativity in a magazine. Immediately, I had questions in my mind, "What is the true nature of time?" The other "me" in my head told me:

Time is the observer's perception of the speed of light moving through the surrounding space.

When I first received this answer, it took me a long time to understand why the essence of time would be described in this way. If I were to define time-based on my own logic, I would certainly think of it as the continuous movement of objects in the universe.

Over the years, I have been able to explain the nature of various phenomena that people encounter in their lives, such as time, space, fields, matter, light, gravity, electromagnetic forces, energy, and even the principles behind the flight of UFOs, how prophets can predict the future? and questions about human life, death, and the soul.

However, possibly due to my limited educational background, especially in theoretical and mathematical equations, there are many things I don't fully understand. My understanding is vague, and many of the explanations I provide might not be clear.

I remember, shortly after returning from the alien planet, I had recorded many important mathematical and physical equations given to me by the aliens in a notebook. Once, it got wet when my brother spilled tea on it while it was on the table. I told my brother how important the contents of this notebook were and scolded him. He got upset and tore the notebook to pieces when I was away. I managed to save some fragments, but they were eventually lost too.

As a child, I was honest, dutiful, timid, dull, and rigid. I could stand in one spot for half a day without moving, and I was too scared to speak to strangers. I had difficulty speaking clearly, and my ragged clothes, which barely covered me, often led to ridicule and scolding from others, causing severe feelings of inferiority.

I was a diligent and hardworking student, but I tended to rely on rote memorization and excessive homework. In primary school, where we only had Chinese and Math, my grades were quite good. However, in junior high, with more subjects to study and relying solely on hard work and memorization, my grades were not very good due to a lack of flexibility in thinking.

After failing to achieve good grades in junior high, I couldn't get into high school. I repeated a year and tried twice to pass the high school entrance exams, but didn't even make it through the preliminary selection [at that time, one had to pass a preliminary round before qualifying for the high school exams]. Consequently, I had to return home to the farm. My father was very disappointed in me and even beat me with a bamboo pole.

At 19, stimulated by my encounter with aliens, I wanted to self-study mathematics and physics to clarify the vague ideas in my mind. I went to the Hefei Science and Education Bookstore to buy physics and mathematics books for self-study.

However, due to my inexperience, I bought reference books for graduate students instead of standard textbooks. The physics book was full of mathematical symbols with few descriptive texts, and I couldn't understand it at all. This greatly undermined my confidence, and my first attempt at self-study ended in failure.

A few years later [around 1989], I went to Wuhu to do business. Soon after arriving in Wuhu, I met an elder who seemed very kind and wise, and he spoke in an archaic, scholarly manner. He said to me, 

"Let me read your fortune. You are no ordinary person. You might influence the entire history of mankind in the future".

Thinking he was a charlatan out to make money, I shook my head and replied, "I'm just a farmer, I'm not capable of such things".

He looked at my left hand and said, "Your left hand has a 'Tian' character. You are the prophesied saint, the very person we have been looking for".

I checked my left hand and didn't see any 'field' character. But when the elder gestured over my hand, there indeed appeared to be such a character, which I had never noticed before.

I responded, "Nonsense, what saint am I? Am I going to be a world leader or the President of the Earth?"

The elder replied, "As society progresses and becomes more democratic, politicians and presidents in democratic countries will merely be clowns".

At that time, I admired Western democracy, but when it came to the idea of elder, I immediately argued against it, "If leaders in democratic countries are clowns, does that mean leaders in dictatorships are noble?"

The elder laughed a bit and said, "I didn't make myself clear. Leaders in democratic countries are like clowns who entertain children. They are actors who can only perform. Every action they take is directed by experts behind the scenes, and they don't engage in behavior that could drastically affect daily life. In the future, it will not be politicians, but rather great scientists and significant scientific discoveries, that will profoundly change human life".

"I don't see how this relates to me at all", I replied.

The elder said, "You are wrong. You have been bestowed with divine science. Use this divine knowledge to benefit humanity".

This reminded me immediately of the technological theories I had obtained from aliens, which startled me, but I still didn't believe him. When I asked how he knew about me, he said he was part of "the circle" (at that time, I had learned from someone claiming to be from Shanghai that "the circle" referred to a group of people with paranormal abilities related to aliens hiding on Earth. These individuals were bound by internal constraints and could not reveal their identities or abilities to the outside world, or they would face severe punishment). However, I pretended not to know about this.

He then recited my hometown address, saying he had visited there and described some details about the area around my house. He had heard I moved to Wuhu, so he came here to find me.

I asked him, "What do you want from me? If you have paranormal abilities, why not get me involved in national research?"

The elder replied, "I want you to diligently study modern scientific knowledge and explain the gods' science in our language. Only then will your ideas be accepted by the general public".

He also told me that wealth and status are ordained by heaven, and that one shouldn't be overly concerned with acquiring them. He indirectly criticized me for thinking about wealth and status without having formally engaged in scientific research.

Later, he roughly predicted my future life experiences, which, looking back now, have mostly come true.

Finally, he said, "In the future, many will curse you and many will praise you, but these people will not change your destiny. You will remain who you are. It is only with the help of noble people that you will be accepted by society".

I eagerly asked who this noble person could be who would help me. The elder replied, "Every two thousand years, China produces a sage. This sage, coming after you, can help you". After saying this, the elder left.

Now, when I think about it, "after the sage" might mean after Confucius. Could this noble person be surnamed Kong?

Inspired by the elders, I went to some bookstores in Wuhu to buy physics textbooks. Strangely enough, despite Wuhu's developed commerce in 1989, it was difficult to find suitable textbooks. These books were not ideal either; they only briefly mentioned relativity without mathematical proof. Moreover, I never managed to find the corresponding mathematics textbooks. I also bought some books from a waste station, but they were not suitable for self-study either.

Troublingly, I would get headaches whenever I looked at textbooks, realizing that I lacked strong willpower, disappointing the elder's expectations.

In Wuhu, my self-study made no substantial progress, especially in advanced physics and mathematics, which I found completely inaccessible. This created fear and feelings of inferiority, as I believed I didn't have the capability to understand these subjects. However, I did gain a general understanding of physics in Wuhu, but no knowledge of mathematics.

Later, I met a tall, heavyset man who boasted about being a qigong master. I didn't believe him; in my view, martial artists are supposed to be slim-waisted with broad arms, not round-bellied.

Once, when he was cornered by my skepticism, he said, "Extend your hand and let me try something". 

I stretched out my hand, and he casually tapped my arm with his little finger. A shock of pain hit me, and my arm immediately swelled up, sticking to the arm like a small mudfish.

This experience made me truly appreciate his skills and sparked my intense interest in qigong. In Wuhu, I learned some basic knowledge of qigong from the heavyset man.

Entering the world of qigong isn't difficult; the challenge is in persisting with daily morning practice. I didn't keep it up for more than a few mornings due to laziness and never managed to get up early again. Later, I invented a method of practicing qigong while lying in bed. Surprisingly, this bed-based qigong practice opened up a strange new world for me.

When practicing qigong, one must suppress their self-awareness, then enter a state that seems both thoughtful and dazed. In this state of semi-consciousness, I often had clearer visions of the strange dreams I experienced. I also recalled many details of my encounter with the alien planet at the age of 19.

Practicing Qigong shifted me from passively waiting to actively searching. In my dreams, I felt like I was living on an alien planet, working, learning, and interacting with others there.

From the information I received, the technology of the people on this planet was highly advanced. I felt that it might take thousands, or even tens of thousands of years for Earth to reach their level of technological development. Their perspectives on time, space, fields, matter, and the universe were quite different from ours on Earth.

After spending a few years in Wuhu and returning home, due to our family's financial struggles, I often worked on the farm during the day and went fishing at night. The harsh and exceptionally laborious life, not to mention its tedious and flavorless nature, offered no prospects for improvement and was exhausting.

Later, I got married, but my relationship with my wife was troubled. We often argued, mainly over money and economic difficulties. My wife was fierce, nagging, and would create problems out of nothing. I felt powerless to change my situation and often endured her unwarranted insults.

At that time, my primary thought was how to get ahead or find a better living environment. Naturally, I thought that my only unique attributes were having two 'me' and my encounter with aliens at the age of 19. I believed that focusing on these aspects was the only way to escape my predicament.

A simple idea was to ask my other "me" for advanced physical theories and present them as my own to gain fame. I had always been interested in physics more than other subjects during my schooling.

From that time, I started to take this seriously and began self-study again. 

Initially, I would occasionally ask my other "me" about concepts like time, space, and fields. But afterward, I started researching these topics with a purpose, though the progress was very challenging.

Although I could obtain explanations about the essence of physical concepts like time, fields, mass, charge, light, the speed of light, energy, and so on from my other "me"—who could provide accurate definitions of these physical notions—I found it difficult to connect these isolated concepts into a cohesive theoretical system, especially when it came to applying mathematics, which was even more challenging.

I often thought that the aliens had given me these theoretical points, but to connect these points into a line, I needed to make my own efforts.

Years later, upon reflecting calmly, I realized that apart from the theories provided by the aliens, I actually had nothing of my own. I understood that I was just an ordinary person. However, the words of that elder in Wuhu, who claimed I would significantly impact human history, echoed in my ears and plunged me into contradiction.

In fact, for a long time, it was the words of that elder from Wuhu that sustained my belief. Without him, I might have given up researching and promoting alien technology long ago.

Whenever I thought of the elder from Wuhu, speaking in classical Chinese with his hands behind his back, I encouraged myself, silently repeating in my mind: "I am not an ordinary person; I might influence human history; I must keep going—"

Now, when I think about it, the key to my failure during that period was my lack of interest in mathematics and not studying it. Not having suitable textbooks was also a crucial factor. Of course, being constantly busy with making a living, enduring my wife's frequent, baseless nagging and insults, and my laziness and weak willpower were major reasons too.

I also wrote many letters to the Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but each time, they said it was irrelevant to them, and nothing came of it.

I wrote many letters to universities and relevant organizations. I personally visited these institutions and universities like the University of Science and Technology of China, but almost always received the same response: "Get out!" I was often chased out like chasing away a dog by the gatekeepers.

I also approached television stations and news media to share my story. Once, I called a TV station, and the person who answered at the Anhui Jingshi Channel's 'First Time' program mocked me, saying, "...You want us to interview you just because you say so? Who do you think you are?"

No one paid attention to me, and gradually, I lost confidence.

For quite some time, I gave up on this matter and stopped pursuing it.

I also submitted many articles, but generally received no responses. One editor replied to me, saying: "---You have some good, unique ideas, but you need to express these in mathematical terms. Mathematics is the universal language of physics. Without mathematics, physics cannot be clearly explained, and there's no definitive conclusion. I don't expect you to know advanced mathematics like Riemannian geometry or Fourier analysis, but you don't even have the simplest calculus---"

Later, various difficulties in life made me resolve again to self-study, determined to clearly explain the advanced theories of aliens and make a name for myself.

A cousin of mine, who teaches in Hefei and has been to university, brought me a few books. The books he brought were standard textbooks, Tsinghua University's General Physics and Advanced Mathematics, which were very suitable for self-study, especially the mathematics book, as it was easy to understand.

With these easy-to-understand textbooks, I made quick progress.

When the internet reached rural areas, I shifted my focus online, using my spare time to research and promote alien technology, especially their Unified Field Theory and Artificial Field Scanning technology.

Now, by searching online for "Unified Field Theory 6th Edition", "Artificial Field Scanning", "Zhang Xiangqian", "Unveiling the Principles of Alien UFOs" and so on, you can find the advanced scientific theories related to alien technology that I have posted online.

I have been promoting alien technology for 38 years now, but unfortunately, it still hasn't garnered societal attention or significance. This is puzzling not only to many netizens but also to myself, especially since we are in the era of the internet.

I plan to continue writing articles and science fiction novels online in hopes of gaining fame. Once I become well-known, the advanced technology of alien Artificial Field Scanning I bring will undoubtedly be taken seriously by society. Even if some people are unhappy, nobody will be able to stop it.

This might be the only way for me to succeed. Many netizens have suggested that I conduct experiments, and of course, I won't give up on that. I'm already collaborating with netizens to conduct experiments. However, I have an intuition that, given our basic conditions and limited resources, the likelihood of success in these experiments is not high.

Translator's Notes:

[1] Townships, formally township-level divisions, are the basic level (fourth-level administrative units) of political divisions in the People's Republic of China.

[2] Tongyangxi was a tradition of arranged marriage dating back to pre-modern China, in which a family would adopt a pre-adolescent daughter as a future bride for one of their pre-adolescent (usually infant) sons, and the children would be raised together. These child marriages were more common among the poor, where they served to guarantee a wife for a poor son. The families that gave their daughters up also benefited to the extent that they no longer had to provide for a daughter, someone who was bound to marry and leave the family one day.

[3] Barefoot doctors were healthcare providers who underwent basic medical training and worked in rural villages in China. They included farmers, folk healers, rural healthcare providers, and recent middle or secondary school graduates who received minimal basic medical and paramedical education. Their purpose was to bring healthcare to rural areas where urban-trained doctors would not settle.
