(Minghui.org) Ms. Wang Shugui, a resident of Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province, was arrested on November 9, 2018 for practicing Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the communist regime since 1999. She is now facing trial after her case was moved to Mishan City Court.
Ms. Wang began to practice Falun Gong before the persecution started in 1999. Many of her family members and colleagues were impressed with her changes after picking up the practice, which is based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
Ms. Wang married into a big family. Her husband has seven siblings, but they didn't get along well and always had conflicts with each other at family gatherings.
Ms. Wang took on much housework that no one was willing to do, such as washing dishes or cleaning at such gatherings.
She later took good care of her husband's older brother and her father-in-law when they became ill–especially her father-in-law, who suffered from cerebellar atrophy and often relieved himself in his pants.
After her father-in-law passed away, her mother-in-law moved in with her, and she also took good care of her.
At every major holiday from then on, Ms. Wang invited her husband's siblings to her home for gatherings. They were impressed by her kindness and appreciated what she had done for them. The big family became more and more harmonious.
Ms. Wang's husband later suffered from complications of diabetes and lost the ability to take care of himself. Because of the physical suffering, he was often in a bad mood and lost his temper at her. She was always patient and didn't fight back.
When her neighbors asked about her secret of having such a good temper, Ms. Wang told them that it was because of practicing Falun Gong that she became more compassionate and considerate of others.
There was one incident at work in which one of her colleagues suddenly lashed out at her in front of others. She remained calm and peaceful, and the colleague left after saying a few words.
Her other colleagues who witnessed the incident wondered why Ms. Wang didn't fight back since it was apparently the other person's fault. She replied that Falun Gong taught her to live by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and not to fight back when wronged.
