(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Guo Yongzhen was a 73-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner from Erjingzi Village, Eryingzi Township, Zhaozhou County, Heilongjiang Province.

On May 1, 2005, Guo Yongzhen and her younger daughter (also a Dafa practitioner) were illegally arrested at the train station because they had a Nine Commentaries CD in their bag. Her daughter was sentenced to two years in prison without any legal proceedings and is currently detained at the Harbin Drug Rehabilitation Center. During the past year Guo Yongzhen has been under a lot of pressure. She misses her daughter, and seeing her 8-year-old grandson only made it worse. She always felt responsible for her daughter’s detention. Due to the mental pressure she was under, her health deteriorated and she passed away on May 29, 2006.
