History
Yang Sende (or Desen) and Yang Maicun were two members of the sect who were arrested in Linzhou, Henan, in the 1980s.[1] According to official reports, Sende was a brigade leader and Communist Party member since 1946.[1] The Yangs spread the teachings of the Huazhaidao sect by claiming their efficacy in healing the sick.[1] In Linzhou they persuaded dozens of Communist Party members and local civil servants to join the Huazhaidao.[1]
