After he started cultivation, he did good deeds by following the principles of "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance," and was widely respected. On July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin started the persecution of Falun Gong because he was jealous of Falun Gong's popularity. Mr. Pang went to the government of Heilongjiang Province and the Beijing Appeals Bureau to clarify the truth about Falun Gong. In November 1999, he was detained illegally for five months by the Hongqi Police Station in Qitaihe City (Qitaihe City No. 2 Detention Center) because he appealed to the higher authorities in Beijing. He was released when he protested through a hunger strike. In the year 2002, police officers from the Hongqi Police Station harassed him at his home many times.
In the spring of 2003, policemen from the Hongqi Police Station forcibly dragged his aged father to their office. There, they interrogated the old man for an entire day in order to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Pang so that they could capture him. After that incident, the old man fell ill and never recovered. Mr. Pang's father died a month later. Before he died, he wanted to see his son one last time, but could not because his home was under surveillance by the police. On November 8, police from the Hongqi Police Station including Wang Dawei captured Mr. Pang and sent him to the No. 2 Detention Center. Later, he was sent to the Mudanjiang Prison for further persecution. His family members who went to visit him were not allowed to see him. As of now, we do not know how badly he has been abused.
