'Master' artifice at work

Although the media have exposed the real activities of "Master" Wang Lin, he still exercises great influence on some celebrities and officials, which demands a serious thought, says an article in Southern Metropolis Daily. Excerpts:

Wang's celebrity followers are drawn to him because of his "mysterious" energy, but some corrupt and insecure government officials flock to him for "spiritual" comfort. The "Master" understands the psychology of such officials, who are always afraid of being exposed and arrested. Surprisingly these officials, instead of giving up their corrupt habits, believe that networking and luck will not only save them, but also make them successful.
