"I Have Lost My Mommy, I Cannot Lose My Daddy" (Photo)
(Clearwisdom.net)
Her name is Zhao Yuanming. She turned six just this year.
Little Yuanming's father is a Falun Dafa practitioner named Zhao Yougang, also called Zhao Jianshe. He is 32 years old. In 2001, because he persisted in practicing Falun Dafa, the Weifang City government forced him to leave his job and his home in order to avoid being arrested under the unconstitutional ban on Falun Gong. Even so, in June of 2003 Zhao Yougang was arrested by the Nanjing police while he was composing materials to tell people about Falun Gong. In jail he has been constantly subjected to inhumane torture. On December 29, 2003, Zhao was illegally sentenced to nine years in prison. He is now being detained in Wuxi Prison and is suffering brutal treatment. To protest the persecution, Zhao has been on a hunger strike since June, the time of his arrest. Zhao is being painfully force-fed seven to eight times every night by the prison guards. Currently he is so extremely weak that he cannot stand upright by himself. Before, he weighed 85 kg (187 lb), but now his weight is reduced to only 35 kg (77 lb). Zhao is 1.75 m (5 ft 6 in) tall.
