Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Liu Jinghe was a section chief level cadre at the Fifth Engineering Department of the Zhongtie No. 19 Bureau in Dalian City, Liaoning Province. Mr. Liu was sentenced to one year in a labor camp on September 9, 2008, and was incarcerated at the Tumuji Forced Labor Camp in Zhalaite Banner, Xingan League, Inner Mongolia, where he suffered beatings, brainwashing, and electric shocks.

Mr. Liu Jinghe's home was ransacked at 7:00 a.m. on June 5, 2008 by a group of people including officers from the Ke District Public Security Subdivision, the Domestic Security Division, Yongqing Police Station Director Sun, Baojirimutu, two others with the last names of Guo and Xu, Zhang Haitao from the Fourth Public Security Subdivision Bureau, and a community staff member. They took two computers, three printers, Dafa books, truth-clarification materials, a paper cutter and stapler (the notebook computer was later returned) valued at over ten thousand yuan. They also arrested Mr. Liu, his wife, and two of his daughters who were interrogated separately.

Mr. Liu's daughters were released that afternoon, while Liu Jinghe and his wife Xiao Yonghua were held at the Hexi Detention Center in Tongliao City. Liu Jinghe was beaten by four or five inmates, including Li Guofu and two others with the last names of Tang and Guan. Director Hao was well aware of the incident. During that period, Liu Jinghe was interrogated twice by Director Li, once by Director Hao, and once by Dan.

Three months later, on September 9, 2008, Liu Jinghe was sentenced to one year in Tumuji Forced Labor Camp in Zhalaite Banner, Xingan League, Inner Mongolia. His wife, Xiao Yonghua, was sentenced to three years in prison in January 2009, and was held in the Inner Mongolia Huhehaote Women's Prison.

On September 10, 2008, Liu Jinghe was kicked by guard Huang Zhigang while talking with a fellow practitioner. On September 20, 2008, guard Chen Qiang, who was responsible for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, ordered Liu Jinghe to come to the fourth floor. Once Mr. Liu arrived, Chen grabbed him by his collar and threatened, "There is no one here; if you die no one will know. I will give you three pieces of paper. You have to write the three statements. I will dictate, and you write. OK?" However, Mr. Liu would not cooperate with him. Chen threatened him again, saying that if he did not cooperate with him he would send him to the electric chair. Liu Jinghe was later brought down to the No. 1 Cell and forced to watch videos slandering Dafa, a form of brainwashing.

On January 5, 2009, at around 1:00 a.m., Liu Jinghe was doing the sitting meditation when guard Bao reported him to director Li. Li shocked Mr. Liu's neck with an electric baton for over a minute. Mr. Liu pushed the baton away but the skin on his neck was already seriously burned. While Liu was sitting on his bed at 7:00 p.m. that night, a guard with the last name of Luo beat him and took him to an office where he suddenly hit Mr. Liu again hard on his nose, making his nose bleed profusely. Mr. Liu's shirt was soaked with blood, which splattered to the ground. Mr. Liu sat down to do the meditation and only then did his nose stop bleeding. He was released one year later.

During the last decade of persecution, Mr. Liu Jinghe was persecuted physically, mentally, and financially. He was arrested and held numerous times from as early as 2001.

On August 15, 2001, Liu Jinghe went home by train. He was spotted by a train guard while doing the sitting meditation. When the train arrived at Tongliao Station, the guard took him to the Tongliao Railroad Police Station and later transferred him to the Railroad Public Security Bureau. That afternoon, Mr. Liu's workplace's Public Security team was notified, and at around 4:00 p.m., the National Security Department of his workplace sent several people, including Baojirimutu, someone with the last name Guo, along with Zhang Baosheng, Chen Baowen and He Zhongliang, from the Public Security Subdivision, to ransack his home. They took his Dafa books and audiotapes. Mr. Liu Jinghe was sent to the Liaoyang Public Security Subdivision, and was held in solitary confinement.

The next day, subdivision director Zhang Baosheng interrogated him, but Liu refused to cooperate. That night he was transferred to the Liaoyang Detention Center for 14 days, where Zhang Baosheng interrogated him two more times.

On August 31, 2001, Liu Jinghe was taken back to his workplace for brainwashing and was not allowed to go home. His workplace held a meeting criticizing him and tried to force him to criticize Dafa and Dafa's founder, Master Li Hongzhi. He was released another fourteen days later. His wife was persecuted too and was also interrogated that day and released that night.

In September 2001, after Liu Jinghe wrote a public statement renouncing his membership in the Chinese Communist Party, he was demoted and his salary was decreased.

After that incident, Liu Jinghe was harassed numerous times by local policeman Cai Xinggang, the police station director Sun, the Resident Committee director Li Fengqin, and a member of the No. 19 Public Security Subdivision Fourth Team, Kang Jingguo. Over the next two years, he was closely monitored by his workplace. In 2007, Mr. Liu and his wife were followed and monitored by personal from the No. 19 Public Security Subdivision Fourth Team.
