Autumn Rain Covenant Church: Dai Zhichao’s Wife Lu Lingzhi Speaks Out for Her Husband; Public Account Permanently Banned

On August 16, 2026, this outlet learned that Lu Lingzhi, the wife of Dai Zhichao of the Autumn Rain Covenant Church, recently spoke out on behalf of her husband and was visited by police who demanded that she delete the post. After she refused, her public account was immediately permanently banned.

Lu Lingzhi reported: “The police came to my home and demanded that I delete the post. After I posted ‘What Virtue or Ability Does Dai Zhichao Have to Be Able to Subvert State Power?’ on my public account, it resonated with everyone, and it was quickly reposted, with a relatively high number of views. Thank you all for your attention; the police in my jurisdiction responded quickly. I am still in postpartum confinement, and the police came to my home with body cameras and demanded that I delete it. Everything I wrote is factual—why should I delete it? I did not agree. Soon afterward, my public account was permanently banned.”
