Mr. Wang Chunjing and his wife Ms. Li Shumei live in Lijiahedong Village, Hou Town. The couple was arrested in the autumn of 2010 and incarcerated in a brainwashing facility. They were forced to sit on iron chairs for seven to eight days and to tell the police where the informational materials they had with them were from.

The couple was sent to the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp several days following their release from the brainwashing facility.
