     For two decades, self-proclaimed qigong master Wang Lin led a comfortable life outside the media glare - until photos were leaked last week showing him receiving billionaire Alibaba founder Jack Ma Yun at his villa in Jiangxi's Luxi county. […]
     The paper noted that Ma was accompanied to Wang's home by Luxi county governor Yao Hu. The county's publicity department admitted the government was keen to court Ma for investment. The paper said Wang was highly regarded among local bureaucrats for serving as a bridge to higher authorities and promoting the county among the elites.
