Ms. Ren Tingfang was in her 50's and a Falun Gong practitioner from Dayushu Village, Gulang County, Wuwei City, Gansu Province. Her whole family practices Falun Gong. She went to Beijing to appeal in December 2000 and was sent to a labor camp by the local police. She was released on December 24, 2001, and died on April 18, 2002.
Ms. Ren Tingfang's daughter Zhang Xiaohe was deprived of her right to go to college because she practiced Falun Gong. The Gulang County Police Department went to her home many times to try to force her to give up practice. Under severe pressure, she was forced to become destitute and homeless in order to avoid being arrested at home from 2000 to 2002. After years of living under this persecution, by September of 2002 she weighed only around 80 lbs. A Falun Gong practitioner took her home in October 2002.
Ms. Zhang Xiaohe did not have the energy to talk, but policemen from Wuwei City and Gulang County still forced her to answer their questions with a nod or shake of her head. Her physical condition worsened, and she died 20 days after returning home. She was only twenty-three when she passed away.
Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Yue Huimin from Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province was tortured for more than two years in the Fuyu Labor Camp, to the point where his life was in danger. He nearly lost sight in both eyes, and his whole body suffered from fluid retention. He died on March 18, 2005.
Mr. Yue Huimin used to be very sick before practicing Falun Gong. He was on long term medical leave from his work. His physical condition quickly improved after practicing Falun Gong, and he was able to return to work.
After the persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999, Mr. Yue Huimin continued cultivating despite pressure from the Zhonghua Street Police Station. In the middle of December 2000, Mr. Yue was arrested by policemen from the Hubin Police Station while producing truth-clarifying materials. Policemen ransacked his home, stole five thousand yuan in cash, and took away many of his possessions, including a television.
Mr. Yue was brutally tortured at the Hubin Station. His clothes were torn apart, and police forced him to walk on the snow while barefoot. He was later transferred to the Qiqihar City Second Detention Center, where he was deprived of the use of the toilet. Finally he was sentenced to two years of forced labor and sent to the Fuyu Labor Camp.
In the Fuyu Labor Camp, Mr. Yue Huimin was forced to do heavy construction work from 4 a.m. in the morning to 8 p.m. every night. His health deteriorated, and his body developed a scabies infection. He was emaciated, suffered with diabetes, had damage to the lower part of the brain, and hepatitis type B. He often fainted and did not sleep properly for more than a year.
After two years of cruel torture, the Fuyu Labor Camp extended his term by two months. He was finally carried home while he was dying, nearly blind, inner ears infected, and his whole body swollen with dropsy.
Even with Mr. Yue on his deathbed, Qiqihar City 610 Office and Zhonghua Street policemen continued calling at his home to harass him. On March 18, 2005, Mr. Yue Huimin died in great agony.
Three more Falun Gong practitioners have been tortured to death by guards at the Fuyu Labor Camp. They are: Mr. Wang Baoxian, an engineer employed by the Qiqihar Vehicle Factory; Mr Gao Deyong, Office Manager of Qiqihar City Civil Engineering Company; and Mr. Fu Zhiyu.
The Epoch Times published an article entitled "Hao Fengjun's Provides a Document That Exposes How the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is Panicking Because of the Nine Commentaries." [Hao Fengjun was a former policeman from the 610 Office of the Tianjin Public Security Bureau. He escaped from China in February 2005 and was granted a protection visa in Australia. He secretly brought with him all the documents he had downloaded from his office computer.] My name was mentioned in that document. Now I'd like to share some of the related events and situations I experienced.
How my colleagues and I benefited from practicing Falun Gong
I began practicing Falun Gong at the end of 1996, and in a very short time all of my illnesses were cured without using any medication. I also witnessed the miraculous changes experienced by my coworkers after they started practicing Falun Gong. In 1999, when China began the suppression of Falun Gong, I heard about and witnessed the evil persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. In order to practice our beliefs freely, my whole family immigrated to Canada in 2001.
Before practicing Falun Gong, I was bothered by Meniere's syndrome for many years. Whenever it recurred I would look ghostly pale, my lips would turn purple, I would feel dizzy, and I could not see clearly. Whenever I was under a lot of pressure at work, the illness would recur. The recurrences became more frequent, which affected my ability to do my job. For over 20 years I also suffered from a form of dermatitis that neither Chinese or Western medicine could cure.
After a colleague introduced Falun Gong to me, I started to practice it. In the courtyard of our work unit, 40 to 50 people practiced the Falun Gong exercises every morning. The scene was quite magnificent. At that time, many work units had their own Falun Gong practice sites. The 605 Institute of the Nuclear Industry Ministry, located next door, also had a practice site. There were even more people practicing Falun Gong there. There were also practice sites in the residential areas, and more and more people came to practice Falun Gong.
Within a short time after I started practicing Falun Gong, I experienced its miraculous healing effects. The Meniere's syndrome occurred less and less often. In a little over one year it was cured. My dermatitis gradually improved and was totally gone within two years.
After practicing Falun Gong for six months, all of a sudden I suffered paralysis on the right side of my face. My mouth became so crooked that I was unable to close it properly. When I ate, some food would slip out. I also had difficulty brushing my teeth. I could not close my right eyelid all the way. Despite all this, I did not go to see a doctor. Instead, I chose to practice the exercises. In one month I was fully recovered. One of my colleagues suffered the same illness as me, but after trying to find a cure, he still suffered from the effects of the facial paralysis. A colleague of my wife's had the same situation. After spending 17,000 yuan the person still failed to secure a full recovery. Thus it can be seen that Falun Gong really has miraculous healing effects.
I still remember very clearly what happened to three of my former colleagues who practiced Falun Gong.
The first person was a retired engineer from the Quality Inspection Section, Mr. Ma Zunde, who had a hunchback of 30 degrees. After practicing Falun Gong his spine straightened out (See Attachment 1). I witnessed the changes.
The second person was Mr. Xu from the Equipment Testing Centre. He suffered from cirrhosis. The patients who were in the same ward with Mr. Xu all died of the disease. That made Mr. Xu despair for his future. At last it was Falun Gong that saved his life. His case was published in the Falun Gong information materials.
The third person was Mr. Li from the Number Four Study Section. Because he dealt with radioactive materials all year round, he suffered from radiation poisoning. After practicing Falun Gong, his body was purified and all the poisons accumulated inside his body were removed. Falun Gong gave him back his health.
A Falun Gong practitioner's experiences
"The diehard Falun Gong practitioner Wu Yanxia from Jixian County" mentioned in one of the documents secretly brought out by Hao Fengjun is my wife. She was a loyal CCP member and received a bagful of honorary certificates. However, because of a constant heavy workload, she suffered from many illnesses. A serious ulcer and neurosis greatly affected her ability to work. In 1997 she began to practice Falun Gong and her illnesses all disappeared - she radiated the vigor of youth.
In 1999 Jiang Zemin began a crackdown on Falun Gong. Wu Yanxia just could not figure out why such repressive measures were happening. She was a beneficiary and a loyal CCP member, yet she was on the verge of collapse when faced with the onslaught of lies that were everywhere. It was as if they eclipsed the sky and covered the earth. When the CCP tried to force her to give up her beliefs, her conscience overcame her loyalty to the Party and she said "No" to the CCP.
As a result she was immediately relegated to a different class of people in the eyes of the authorities. She lost her freedom to visit her relatives and friends. The police and neighbors constantly harassed her family. Even her relatives who came to visit from far away were interrogated. The police took her away without allowing her to eat even a bite of the meal she had just prepared. The police frequently took her from our home or her work unit for questioning. Our house was broken into and her computer searched. She was followed wherever she went and her telephone line was tapped. She was arrested and taken to a brainwashing center many times, and she lost all of her freedom.
However, such persecution made her see the true nature of the CCP. In order to avoid further persecution, we had to leave our home and go from place to place. I finally ended up here in Canada.
Persecution of family members
The generation before me suffered from the CCP's heavy-handed rule. For being in the "bad" class of people, one of my uncles and one of my aunts were clubbed to death by the CCP. Because my family was mostly upper middle class farmers, my elder sisters were deprived of their rights to a higher education. I was a very obedient citizen and never wanted to cause any trouble. However, after the CCP started to crack down on Falun Gong, I was dragged into the position of being a "criminal." The sufferings of my loved ones and myself also gave me a clearer understanding of the true nature of the CCP.
My father-in-law suffered from serious rheumatoid arthritis and fully recovered after practicing Falun Gong. Simply because his son and daughter practiced Falun Gong, however, they were detained for a quite long time and nobody knew if they were alive or not. The old man requested permission to visit them but his request was turned down. He missed his children very much but was not allowed to see them. He died without having seeing his children again.
My wife's sister was detained in the Jixian County Detention Centre in the city of Tianjin for nine months. During the detention she was brutally beaten and suffered forced feeding. As a result, the joints of her fingers were injured and remained numb for a very long time. She was then transferred to Jianxin Forced Labor Camp in Tianjin City, where she was forced to do slave labor. She was held there for 20 months. During her detention the Tianjin Evening Newspaper fabricated a lot of lies about her. (See Attachment 2)
My wife's brother was also detained in the Jixian County Detention Centre in Tianjin for nine months. During his detention he, too, was brutally beaten and had to endure force-feeding. He was transferred to Shuangkou Forced Labor Camp in Tianjin City, where he was forced to do slave labor and was shocked continuously by the prison guards with 150,000 vote electric batons at a time when he had scabies all over his body. He was detained in the forced labor camp for 28 months. (See Attachment 3)
My wife's cousin, Ms. Wu Yuling, was locked up at the Banqiao Women's Forced Labor Camp in Tianjin City for practicing Falun Gong. Besides being forced to do slave labor, she was brutally tortured, beaten, and subjected to torturous forced-feeding. Her skull was broken as a result of a beating and she was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. (See Attachment 4)
The police arrested my nephew from his home just before the Chinese New Year for refusing to sign a guarantee statement renouncing Falun Gong. He supports his grandparents and a daughter under two years old. He should have spent the New Year with his family. Instead, the police made him stay outside to suffer from the biting cold weather. He was also beaten by the police. The police tied his hands behind his back with a rope that was looped around his neck when they escorted him back home to ransack his house. The police took his Falun Gong books and extorted 2000 "yuan" from him without giving him a receipt.
Whole-heartedly quitting the CCP
I only joined the CCP for a short period of time. After many years of brainwashing I had become accustomed to living in an abnormal and terrible situation. Only recently, after witnessing the brutal persecution of Falun Gong and looking back at my life after reading the Nine Commentaries, was I greatly touched. Therefore, it was only natural for me to quit the CCP.

After Zhu Yubin's mother, Wang Fengwei, was persecuted to death, his father remarried. Yubin's stepmother often abused him, and he was not allowed to cry in front of his mother's picture. Zhu Yubin also lost his right arm in an accident.
Photo of deceased Wang Fengwei
Mr. Zhu Yubin, eighteen years old, is from Anahuang Village, Chengguan Town, Shen County, Shandong Province. His mother Wang Fengwei was persecuted to death on November 30, 2002 in the local detention center because she practiced Falun Gong. She died at a young age of 40 years. (For details please see http://clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2003/2/23/32472.html "In Remembrance of Falun Gong Practitioner Wang Fengwei")
Before Wang Fengwei practiced Falun Gong, she had many illnesses such as hepatitis and liver ascites. She was also ill-tempered and often quarreled with her husband and used the arguments as a reason for divorce. After Wang Fengwei practiced Falun Gong and followed the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," she soon became free of her illnesses and harmony returned to her family.
After July 20, 1999, the Jiang Zemin regime started to suppress the good people who believed in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Zhu Yubin's father clearly knew that Falun Gong was good and the entire family benefited from Falun Gong. However, under the brutal persecution, he divorced Wang Fengwei on grounds of her practicing Falun Gong. Zhu Yubin's father was given custody of their son, Zhu Yubin.
Later, Zhu Yubin's father remarried and had a son. This resulted in worse treatment for Yubin, and he even had to cook for himself. Zhu Yubin lost his right arm in an accident and the related work place granted him 50,000 yuan as compensation. However, Zhu Yubin was not given any of that money, and he does not know what happened to it.
Zhu Yubin sometimes does not even have food to eat and he often eats noodles sent by other people. Last year, there was a fire in his room, which destroyed just about everything, so he had to move to his grandmother's house. Under this circumstance, Zhu Yubin often holds onto the picture of his mother and cries. On one occasion, his father found him crying. Instead of comforting him, his father beat him and ripped away his mother's picture. Zhu Yubin has suffered tremendously.
At present, the disabled Zhu Yubin is trying to look for a job. Please do not send money or any parcels to Zhu Yubin because he cannot receive them.
Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Sun Liwen from Dalian City, Liaoning Province, has been tortured and arrested numerous times, twice taken to a forced labor camp. At around 5 p.m. on July 1, 2005, police from the Heishijiao Police Station, together with the National Security Group from the Dalian City Public Security Bureau, ransacked Mr. Sun's home, arrested him, and detained him in the Yaojia Detention Center.
Mr. Sun Liwen, 31, is a college graduate. Although he wanted to adhere to the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" and to become a better person, the authorities persecuted him. Mr. Sun was persecuted at the infamous Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in 2000. He was sentenced to another forced labor camp in 2002. Over the past six years, the government officials have repeatedly fined him and extorted money from him, which further aggravated his already minimal living standard. Ms. Sun's mother is suffering from breast cancer, and her condition remains grim.
Mr. Sun is a kind person and loves to help others. He never complained about his workload and was very popular among his co-workers. Towards the end of 1999, he went to Tiananmen Square to practice the Falun Gong exercises. After the police arrested him, his work unit declared, "If there is just one person that we have to bail out, it will be Sun Liwen. His performance at work was outstanding!"
After Mr. Sun went to Beijing to appeal against the persecution, he was detained at the Drug Rehabilitation Center. He went on a hunger strike to protest. The guards transferred him to the small cell and savagely beat him; even his glasses were broken into pieces. In the spring of 2000, his mother went to the Heishijiao Police Station. She talked with police officer Duan Xiaojun to ask for the release of her son. Unbeknownst to her, Mr. Sun had already been transferred to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp the night before.
Mr. Sun was forced to perform farm work at Masanjia. They gave him rotten vegetable soup and insufficient rations. They beat him constantly and his body was covered with bruises. He was sent to the brainwashing class. In the summer of 2001 Sun Liwen was released and returned to Dalian. He immediately realigned himself with the Fa rectification and joined the truth clarifying efforts. Unfortunately, Mr. Sun Liwen was again arrested and taken to the forced labor camp.
Since the end of last year, practitioners Sun Liwen, Sun Yan, Wang Shiming, Han Fei, were among the numerous practitioners who were arrested by the police. Presently, the Heishijiao Brainwashing Center is holding around 20 Falun Gong practitioners.

According to news in April 2005, Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Li Huzhe, who has been sentenced to three years in prison, is being persecuted in Jilin Province Prison. The persecution has caused his body to become so extremely weak that he is unable to take care of himself.
Li Huzhe, from Yanji City, Jilin Province, was arrested by the National Security Group of Yanji City Police Department in November 2002. The Yanbian Prefecture 610 Office, the Yanbian Prefecture Police Department, Yanji City 610 Office, Yanji City Police Department and Yilan Police Station in Yanji City used dozens of police vehicles and officers to surround and arrest him.
When they arrested Li Huzhe, Xu Xiaofeng and Shi Zhide, the leaders of the National Security Group of Yanji City Police Department, brutally beat Li Huzhe and verbally abused him.
The National Security Group took Li Huzhe to the eighth floor of the Yanji City Police Department. The police handcuffed and shackled him, and pulled up the foot shackle and attached it around his neck. In order to force him to give a confession, they tortured him by squeezing his body to the point where his neck was only fifteen centimeters (6 in.) away from his feet for a long period of time. He couldn't straighten himself at the waist. The police continuously tortured him for three days. During the three days, they didn't allow him to use the restroom, drink water, eat food, or sleep. His mind and body were under extreme pain and stress. Later, he was sentenced to three years in prison and transferred to the Jilin Province Prison for continued persecution.
According to news from Jilin Province Prison in 2003, Li Huzhe's body was very weak and covered with boils. Moreover, he could not eat or sleep.
In April 2005, more news came out of the Jilin Province Prison indicating that Li Huzhe's body was extremely weak, and he could not take care of himself. He was transferred to the Jilin Province Labor Camp and a specialist was assigned to take care of him. After they heard this news, his family went to the Jilin Province Prison and requested to see him. But the prison refused their request because he firmly insists on practicing Falun Gong. The prison said his case is special and they strictly block any news about him from getting out.
Li Huzhe's over seventy-year-old mother called the Jilin Province Labor Camp and firmly requested to talk to him on the phone. But the hospital attendant and the police would not transfer the call to him. Right now his mother has cataracts and both her eyes are nearly blind. She also has severe diabetes and cannot take care of herself. In addition, she worries about her son very much and cries every day in anguish.

On the morning of July 16, 2005, Tian Lihui and another man from Li County's "610 Office broke into the home of Ms. Xie Ali. They immediately brought in a whole gang of policemen, 16 all together. Liu Wenli, deputy chief of the Public Security Bureau, led the raid.
They rummaged though all the chests and cupboards and confiscated 700 copies of truth clarification materials, 40 or so copies of The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, 30 or so CDs, staplers, tape recorders and Falun Gong books. At that time Ms. Ali was not home, so they arrested her husband, took him to the police station, and interrogated him for eight hours. The deputy director of the 610 office, Xu Yonggang, was determined to put Ms. Ali's husband into a labor camp. Li Shujuan, the National Security Group (formerly the Political Security Section) deputy leader and the one who reported practitioner Yan Xiaoge to the police, would not let Ms. Xie's husband go home. Later, with other people pleading for him, he was released at around 7 p.m. The police even told him to find his wife within five days or else they would sentence him. Ms. Xie's daughter just recently graduated from junior high school, and this huge and unexpected catastrophe that has suddenly befallen her family has distressed her greatly.
A couple of years ago, Ms. Xie was sentenced to the Baoding Forced Labor Camp. Her daughter frequently cried alone and dared not let her father see her tears since she did not want him to feel sad. When she saw other kids strolling with their parents, her biggest desire was to go to the labor camp to see her mom on visitation days. She hoped, and even dreamed, that her mother would come home. She wrote to her mother, saying, "Mother, we are in the most difficult situation! During the evenings, I frequently hold my comforter in my mouth and cry until daylight by myself. During the day I still have to smile to accompany dad." When her mother finally came back, the little girl was extremely happy. Her mother is a Falun Gong practitioner, and her mission of saving peoples still rests on her shoulders. Therefore, after she was released, she made nothing of her hardships and continued to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to people. For this, however, the police attempted to arrest her again. In order to avoid further persecution, Ms. Xie was again forced by the police to be homeless and live on the streets. She has a home she cannot return to and elderly relatives and children she cannot take care of. Her daughter finally had her happy family reunited, and then it was lost to her again.
In the past two days, Deputy Secretary Ning Hongmao of the county party committee convened another meeting regarding the topic of Falun Gong.
In addition, Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhao Guo from Wujiaying Village, Guodan Town, Li County, was imprisoned in the Baoding brainwashing class for more than two months. Afterwards he was secretly taken to the Mancheng prison.
Wujiaying Village Party Secretary Li Huishe has a family business called the Hebei Great Ocean Group. Its products include Great Ocean Food Products and Great Ocean medicine and yarn, which are sold domestically as well as outside of China.

Ms. Li Shue is a practitioner in Yitong County, Jilin Province. She has been illegally jailed in Jilin Province Women's Forced Labor Camp at Heizuizi for over a year. Around 10 p.m. one day in July, guard Yu Po from Group II directed two female inmates to drag Ms. Li into the discipline room. Guard Yu then began to beat Ms. Li. She kicked her back, chest, arms and legs, and punched her head until Ms. Li could not move. Ms. Li's whole body was bruised, and she had headaches and felt dizzy, dazed, and depressed.
Ms. Li is over 50 years old. After the beating, her health deteriorated drastically. Her family members were greatly concerned and seven of them went to visit her on July 19. They found that she was in terrible shape and asked her if she had been mistreated. With the leade of Group 2, Mr. Ren, and guard Yu Po watching, Ms. Li told her family members about the beating. Yu admitted that she beat Li but said defiantly, "My last name is Yu, first name Po. Why don't you guys go and sue me. I was carrying out my job. I tried to take away her book. She resisted and yelled, 'Falun Dafa is good.'" The family members asked captain Ren, "Is beating inmates allowed in the labor camp?" Ren said, "There is no beating in the labor camp. I was not aware of this matter." Then he asked Li, pretending that he cared, "Why didn't you report to me earlier?" But underneath he had no true intention of solving the problem at all.
From conversations with the guards, it was learned that the labor camp forced practitioners to sing songs praising the CCP and to say that the CCP is good. They would be persecuted if they refused. Ms. Li's refusal to cooperate with the camp caused the guard to hate her. Ms. Li said, "The labor camp forces practitioners to work over 10 hours a day, push us to the limit." Due to the beating, persecution, and prolonged labor, Li is skinny and depressed. She is pale and cannot walk properly but is still forced to glue toy birds for over 10 hours everyday.

She strictly lives up to "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" in her daily life and is regarded as a good person in the village. However, in the past six years, since July 20, 1999, personnel from the Village Party Committee, Township Party Committee, 610 Office and Police Station have harassed her, followed her, ransacked her place and arrested her from time to time.
