In the past nine years, Ms. Ma's family has suffered the CCP's persecution only because they wanted to practice Falun Gong and be good people. The twin brothers Cong Ming and Cong Liang began practicing Falun Gong while they were working at a restaurant in Shenyang. After they practiced Falun Gong, they required themselves to be good people by following the principles of "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance".

In May 2001, Cong Ming was sentenced to 9 years and was first detained at the Dalian Wafangdian Prison. On July 12, 2007, he was transferred to the Dalian Nanguanling Prison. In July 2001, Cong Liang was forced by the police in Dongling District Nanta Police Station to fall from a sixth floor building. He was severely injured, with multiple broken bones, and in a coma for 11 days. Later on he recovered miraculously after practicing Falun Gong.

Their father could not understand why his sons were sent to prison merely for being good people. He often spent his time drinking and died from a heart attack in 2002.

On the evening of August 10, 2008, Cong Liang was arrested by police from a branch station in Dadong District. A policeman from Chang'an police station drove his mother from her home so that he could stake out the place for arresting other practitioners. She was forced to rent an apartment that had no heat and was very cold at night. She fell ill from the trauma of her sons being arrested and kicked out of her home, and could not get up from bed. The landlord was afraid that she might die in the rented room and asked her to leave.

Under such persecution, Ms. Ma Shuyun passed away on October 29, 2008.
