(Minghui.org) Practitioners Ms. Zeng Jialan and Ms. Pei Changqiong are from Hepu County, Guangxi Province. They were arrested on February 29 and March 31, respectively, and were transferred to a detention center by local police.
Ms. Zeng Jialan, 46, is from Lianzhou, Hepu County. She started practicing Falun Gong in 1999. She had many diseases, including periarthritis humeroscapularis, cervical spondylosis, cyclomastopathy, and more. All these illness disappeared after she started practicing Falun Gong.
After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, Ms. Zeng gave up her business and overcame obstacles in order to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. She was arrested and taken back to Hepu County, where she was detained for 15 days at the detention center. She went to Beijing the second time in 2000. Police brutally beat her, injuring her legs. A scar is still very obvious on one of her legs. She was later able to return home safely.
When she was distributing truth clarification materials in Qisha Town in Fangcheng in December 2000, Ms. Zeng was detained by local police and brutally beaten. In January 2001, she was transferred to the police department in Hepu County. She has since been tortured and interrogated by police officers many times. These officers used an object to press into her acupuncture points on her entire body. They beat her bone joints with a baton and handcuffed her hands behind her back. She was tortured for more than thirty hours continuously and passed out twice. After she had been detained for two years, she was sentenced to nine years of imprisonment and detained at the Guangxi Women's Prison.
Ms. Zeng had elderly parents at home, and her daughter suffers from epilepsy and is not able to take care of herself. Her father died five months before she returned home, because he was grief-stricken. Her father's death was a shock to her mother, and she cried so much that she lost her voice. In addition, because she has many diseases, she is unable to take care of her granddaughter.
After nine years of separation, the grandmother, mother, and daughter were finally united again. Her husband didn't say anything after having suffered so much. He held her hands with tears in his eyes. However, during the night of February 29, 2012, when she was distributing materials with practitioner Pei Changqiong, they were arrested by officers from the Qingjiang Police Station and detained at the Hepu County Detention Center.
Ms. Pei Changqiong, 50, is from Lianzhou, Heipu County. She started practicing Falun Gong in April 1999 and the persecution started three months later. She couldn't even finish the five exercises at the time. Her entire body itched, her fingernails and toenails turned black, and some of her skin peeled off. Her family was scared. She insisted on practicing however, and one week later her condition improved. Her family witnessed the miracle of Dafa.
One day in December 2011, when Ms. Pei went upstairs, she fell from a ladder, which was about four meters high (about 13 ft). She fell on a wooden sofa onto her back, which was fractured, and lost consciousness. Her family carried her to the bed, and she gradually regained consciousness. She had great pain in her back and her left ankle was swollen. She could neither turn her body nor walk. However, all she thought about was that she would be fine and that Master was watching over her. When fellow practitioners found out what had happened to her, they went to her home and read the Fa to her. She also listened to the Fa every day and continuously looked within. Thus, she gradually improved. In the beginning she could only lie down, then later she could sit up, and was eventually able to walk around the bed. Finally, she could go to the market. One month later, she had totally recovered. This incident is again proof of the healing power of Dafa. She was very grateful to Master.
