【新华社纽约七日电】长期从事民间慈善事业的中国企业家陈光标今日在纽约举行记者会宣布，他将全额资助自焚致残的前“法轮功”练习者郝惠君、陈果母女在美接受整形治疗。
陈光标说，他很高兴能帮助母女二人到美国接受最好的治疗。郝惠君、陈果母女受到极大的伤害，希望通过手术让她们尽可能恢复正常人的生活。
据介绍，郝惠君、陈果将在纽约一所擅长治疗烧伤的整形医院接受手术。手术将从病人身体中取出部分组织，修复创伤。因为烧伤程度严重，手术不可能恢复病人原貌，但会有较大改善。陈光标承诺，他将支付二人旅行、食宿和全部医疗费用，总共预计超过二百万美元（约合一千二百一十三万元人民币）。
卅二岁的陈果说：“‘法轮功’毁了我的一生，夺走了我的青春年华，李洪志是大骗子，我们上当受骗了。”她诚挚地感谢陈光标为帮助她们恢复健康所付出的努力。
郝惠君表示：“‘法轮功’是邪教，李洪志不是神，我劝那些痴迷不悟的人不要再相信李洪志说的话。”
陈果原是中国中央音乐学院的学生，弹得一手好琵琶，她与母亲郝惠君都曾是“法轮功”练习者。二○○一年一月廿三日，按照李洪志“放下生死”的要求和“升天”、“圆满”等诱惑，年仅十九岁的陈果同其他几名“法轮功”练习者一起在天安门广场自焚，造成两人死亡、陈果和郝惠君等三人严重烧伤的惨剧。由于伤势特别严重，还常常伴有并发症，郝惠君、陈果母女二○○一年在北京积水潭医院接受了长达九个月的治疗，后转到家乡河南的医院进行康复治疗。

NEW YORK - Two former Falun Gong practitioners who suffered horrific burns after setting themselves on fire in Beijing in 2001 will undergo surgery at a hospital in New York, Chinese businessman and philanthropist Chen Guangbiao said here Tuesday.
Chen said he was paying personally for a series of medical procedures the two women will receive. The total amount is expected to exceed 2 million U.S. dollars, including traveling, lodging and some other expenses.
“I’m very happy to help Hao Huijun and Chen Guo receive the best medical attention possible,” Chen told a press conference.
“They have suffered tremendously and we are all hopeful that these surgeries will allow them to regain some sense of normalcy in their lives,” he added.
The mother and daughter, Hao and Chen Guo, will each undergo approximately six to eight surgeries during the course of at least six months.
Doctors will use tissues from other parts of their bodies to reconstruct the damaged body parts.
Though it is impossible to repair all the damages due to the graveness of the burns, the surgery will significantly improve their appearances, according to the doctors.
“Falun Gong is a cult. It destroyed my whole life, and took away my precious youth,” said Chen Guo, who set herself ablaze when she was a 19-year-old girl.
“Li Hongzhi is a big liar and he deceived us,” she told the press conference, expressing her thanks for the efforts Chen has made to help them recover.
“Falun Gong is a cult, and Li Hongzhi is not God,” Hao said, urging other Falun Gong followers not to believe what Li has said.
They also denied that they were government plants, saying the self-immolation was their own fault.
Chen Guo, 32, was a former student at China’s Central Conservatory of Music specializing in Pipa (Chinese lute). Both Chen Guo and her mother, a former middle school teacher, were Falun Gong practitioners.
On January 23, 2001, Chen Guo and several other Falun Gong practitioners were duped into committing self-immolations at the Tian’anmen Square, leaving two dead and three seriously injured, including the mother and daughter.
Due to serious injuries and complications, Hao and her daughter had received nine-month-long treatment at the Jishuitan Hospital in Beijing before being transferred to hospitals in the central Henan province, their hometown, to receive further recovery care.
The Falun Gong cult was established in China by Li Hongzhi in 1992, and was banned by the government in 1999.
