Life Renewed by Practicing Falun Gong, but Body Disabled by the Persecution

I was once divorced, and suffered many diseases. I almost gave up hope due to both mental and physical suffering. I didn't know what to do with my life and where it was going. But Falun Gong rescued me from disaster, and saved and renewed my life. However, after the persecution of Falun Gong was launched, I was tortured by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for speaking the truth. I was disabled by the torture and I can no longer take care of myself.

Life Renewed by Practicing Falun Gong

Before I started practicing, I had gall bladder and liver diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, uterine tumors, and edema due to food poisoning. I also suffered from an unhappy marriage. After I started practicing Falun Gong, I followed the principles of Falun Gong, and always looked inward when in conflicts. Shortly after I started practicing my husband came back and we became a happy couple again. All of my illnesses were gone too. During the physical examination at my workplace, it was found that the tumors were gone as well.

Since my husband didn't have a job, I sold our house, and started a small restaurant. Because we are sincere, and good to people, our business went very well. We not only solved our own financial problems, but also hired three or four people who had lost their jobs. I often told customers about how great and wonderful Falun Gong is, and shared with them how it benefited me.

One time several middle-aged men came to my restaurant. They expressed their difficulties in life, and how depressed they were. I took this opportunity to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to them. I told them how I escaped disasters, and how Falun Gong benefited me. They all were excited. One of them, who is the manager of a factory, said that nobody ever told him this before. Another one said that he was eager to learn Falun Gong. I asked for his address before they left. Later, when I gave the materials about Falun Gong to him, he was very appreciative and enthused. He even showed me that he had written, "Falun Dafa is good" on his calendar.

Later, I was arrested while handing out truth clarification materials, and was sentenced to two years of forced labor. This person came to visit me in the labor camp, and said to the policemen, "Please release her. I would like to be jailed in place of her."

Tortured for Speaking the Truth

On another occasion three well-built men came to my restaurant. I clarified the truth to them. They listened silently. Before leaving, they asked me if I was willing to do heavy labor. I answered that it depended on if it were necessary. After they left, a couple who were having a meal in the restaurant said to me, "You are silly. Can't you tell that they are policemen?" I smiled and answered, "It doesn't matter who they are, because what I told them is the truth."

I was reported to police while passing out truth clarification materials on the streets, and was illegally sentenced to two years of forced labor. I was jailed in several detention centers and labor camps.

I was forced to do long-term heavy labor. I was forced to carry human waste out on the mountain. I was forced to pluck chicken feathers for the policemen in the cold wintertime on the wild mountain, since the chicken barn is on the mountain. Because I persisted in Falun Gong practice, the guards beat me badly and force-fed me. They forced me to do work that even criminals are not given. I was forced to clean the iron shavings in an iron factory. Because of the hot iron oven and hot iron tracks, my shoes got burned quickly, and large blood blisters grew on my feet. My limbs became swollen and I could not make fists or bend down. Even so, the policemen still forced me to sit on the snow to listen to them give a speech. After the speech, I could not get up, and needed two people to help me.

Later, I was sent to Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, where I suffered endless brainwashing torture. Although I had severe pain in my body, I persisted in refusing to listen to them. Even when I could only lie on the bed due to the torture I suffered, they ordered people around me to keep talking to me, which caused me severe mental and physical suffering. Finally, I was tortured so badly that I lost the ability to take care of myself, and I was released on a bail for medical treatment.

After I got home, local policemen kept harassing me, even though I could not even eat. What have I done wrong? What is wrong with practicing Falun Gong? One time I found a new purse in a haystack outside of my house, in which there were some bank documents, ID card, keys and other important things. I submitted it to the manager of the community, since I knew how anxious the owner must have been. When the manager was taking registration of it, somebody said, "If you give it to the owner in person, you will get a reward from him." But I am a Falun Gong practitioner, who always considers others first, and has no thoughts of personal gain. The manager of the community, who was assigned to keep a close watch on me for the police, also gave me the thumbs up sign and said, "What a nice person." I said that any Falun Gong practitioner would do the same thing.

Falun Gong practitioners follow the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," but Jiang Zemin's gang persecutes us. Because of the persecution, our restaurant went out of business. My husband takes care of me every day, helping me dress, eat, and use the restroom.

On September 18, 2004, seven 610 Office officials deceived me, a disabled person, and barged in and harassed me again. They claimed that they were carrying out the orders of the provincial offices, and they had an arrest and search warrant. They took away all my Falun Gong materials, and asked me if I was still going to practice. I said, "Although I cannot get up by myself, I will still practice." They asked who I still had contact with. I told them not to follow Jiang's gang to do bad things, for good is met with good, and evil meets retribution, which is the principle of heaven. Finally, they forced my family to record what I said. They threatened that if my family refused to do so, they would arrest them. They yelled at my husband. My mother, who is 90 years old, and my daughter were severely frightened, and almost cried. They interrogated me from midnight to 11 o'clock the next morning.

I hope that all kind people will awaken after reading my experience, support the righteous, and be kind to Falun Gong practitioners.

Crimes Committed Against Practitioners in the Northern Suburbs Jail of Shijiazhuang City

The prison guards at the Fourth Prison of Hebei Province, (also known as the Northern Suburb Jail of Shijiazhuang City) have committed countless crimes against Falun Gong. What I expose here is only the tip of the iceberg.

On December 12, 2004, World Human Rights Day, the Northern Suburbs Jail intentionally set up a "transformation" class to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Five Falun Gong practitioners were directly persecuted during this class, including, Lei Zhongfu, Guo Zhijun and Wang Yan. The persecution was focused on Lei Zhongfu, because Lei Zhongfu shouted loudly in front of several hundred prisoners at noon one day in December: "Practicing Falun Gong is not a crime! Falun Gong is the righteous law! Falun Gong is the great law of the universe! Falun Gong saves people! Falun Gong is good!"

During this persecution, the chief prison guard arranged three criminals to torture Lei Zhongfu. Criminal Li Lin used a metal club to beat the head of Lei Zhongfu. He beat Lei Zhongfu at least several dozen times during a period of nine days and nights. Criminal Li Xiangyang had a strong body and thick hands. He slapped Lei Zhongfu's face at least several dozen of times. As a result, Lei Zhongfu had difficulties moving his body for more than one month. In addition to the physical tortures, Lei Zhongfu was deprived of sleep for the duration of his time there and subjected to other inmates beating, scolding, and insulting him continuously. Several inmates said, "We don't have any hostility toward Falun Gong. We treat you like this because the government chief guard has made it our jobs. If we can "transform" you, our jail terms will be reduced. The government chief guard has told us to use any means to torture you. If our goal is not reached, the tortures will continue. If you continue to be stubborn, even if we do not kill you, you may be rendered disabled."

All areas on Lei Zhongfu's buttocks were badly beaten and his entire body had edema. Yet the squadron instructor, Wang Fenglei, still taunted him in front of other criminals by saying, "Lei Zhongfu has become fat from eating too much." According to a rough estimate, Lei Zhongfu and others had not been allowed to sleep for over 200 hours.

Falun Gong practitioner Chen Zhengqing was tortured to the point of disability. He had difficultly walking. The prison guards beat him over 70 times. Over 40 people had beaten him. Another Falun Gong practitioner who refused to be transformed was also beaten into disability. Because they refused to be transformed, two Falun Gong practitioners were punished by being forced to stand for more than one month in the cold winter, standing outdoors continuously from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. each day. Falun Gong practitioner Guo Zhijiang was forced to work. Both of his hands were full of sores and bleeding, but he was not allowed to take a break. Also, some Falun Gong practitioners' fingernails were pierced with nails by the prison guards.

In the jail, the prison guards arranged four criminals to watch each Falun Gong practitioner. Their goal was to prevent Falun Gong practitioners from contacting each other or talking with other inmates. They were afraid that Falun Gong practitioners would tell others about the goodness of Falun Gong. They did not allow Falun Gong practitioners to practice the exercises or to read things related to Falun Gong. They were not allowed to fetch water, not allowed to get a meal, not allowed to go to the sales department. There were so many things they were not allowed to do. The prison guards created obstacles everywhere, and illegally deprived practitioners of the rights to which they were entitled. They also forbid Falun Gong practitioners from holding hunger strikes. Those who went on hunger strikes were force-fed.

There are still more unknown evil crimes which have occurred and are currently happening in the Hebei Fourth Prison (the Northern Suburb Jail of Shijiazhuang City).

Liu Shufen Holds Hunger Strike - Her 78-Year-Old Father Longs for Her Release

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Liu Shufen is illegally detained at the Women's Prison in Heilongjiang Province. She has been on a hunger strike for over three months protesting the persecution, and her life is now in danger. During the Chinese Moon Festival, her mother left her bed-ridden spouse at home to go visit their daughter. However, her visit was denied by the prison authorities.

Ms. Liu Shufen has experienced a series of persecutions since October 1999 for practicing Falun Gong and telling people the truth about Falun Gong. She has been illegally fined, arrested, detained, and forced to leave home and wander about to avoid persecution. In mid-May 2002, Liu was arrested by police at the place where she was staying at the time. Later she was sentenced to eight years of imprisonment by Ranghu District Court in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province. Liu is being severely tortured in the Women's Prison of Heilongjiang Province. The police locked her in a small cell, tied her up spread eagle, hung her up by stretching her legs, handcuffed her hands behind her back around the clock, and hung her up by the handcuffs. They deprive her of sleep and don't let her use the toilet. From March 15, 2005, to the beginning of August, Liu Shufen was confined in a small cell. She started a hunger strike to protest the persecution on June 6, 2005, when she was already very weak, and is still on the hunger strike now.

Liu Shufen | Liu Shufen with her parents

When Liu Shufen was at home she took good care of her parents. She was born when her father, Liu Mochen, was already quite elderly, and her father loved her very much. The 78 year-old man has been confined to bed for a long time and cannot take care of himself. He often looses control of his bowels. Now, in addition to his bodily suffering, he is living with the pain of being separated from his beloved daughter. Whenever he sees someone, his first words are, "Do you know when my daughter will be back?"

In 2002, Liu Mochen was very ill and couldn't get up from bed. When he heard that his daughter had been severely tortured in prison, he insisted on taking a cab to the prison to get his daughter back even though it could endanger his life. When he got out of the cab, he couldn't walk one more step and crawled into the gate of the prison. Even so, the police didn't let him see his daughter. Liu Mochen survived after spending twenty days in a hospital.

Photo of Liu Shufen's bed-ridden father

Liu Shufen's mother, Wang Yanxiang, is short and slender. Although she is overloaded with the task of taking care of her husband, she also has to endure the pain of having her beloved daughter suffering in prison. During the Moon Festival, (a time for family reunification) when she learned that her daughter's life was in danger due to the hunger strike, she was anxious to see her daughter and asked someone else to take care of her husband. She boarded a long-distance bus to Harbin City Prison, but was stopped at the gate. When she asked to see the head of the prison, he wouldn't see her. She tried to make phone calls to him, but no one answered the call. When Liu Mochen heard that his wife couldn't get any information about his daughter, he sobbed and was unable to talk.

Here we call upon all kind hearted people to render your help. We request the Judiciary Bureau of Heilongjiang Province, the Prison Management Bureau, and the Women's Prison of Heilongjiang Province to set Liu Shufen free so that her family can be reunited.

Exposing Evil Deeds of Vicious Policemen from the Qianerdao Township Police Station in the Fengman Region of Jilin City

To expose the evil and stop the persecution, Falun Gong practitioners in Jilin City worked together to hang a one-by-three meter banner in front of the entrance gates of the Fengman Regional Government Building on the night of August 23. The Political Consultative Congress, the National People's Congress and the District Party committee all meet in this building. The banner says, "Please Release the Detained Practitioners Immediately - Seriously Punish the Evildoing Policemen Chang Yue and Li Jianping." The practitioners also posted numerous self-stick posters reading, "Erdao Police Station Violates Laws and Arrests Good People" at many locations, such as the regional government, the Fengman Police precinct, and two other police stations. It frightened the evildoing people dramatically and also let many people know that Falun Gong practitioners continue to be persecuted even now.

The banner that was hung at the side door of the Fengman Regional Government has the following words on it, "Please Release the Detained Practitioners Immediately - Seriously Punish the Evildoing Policemen Chang Yue and Li Jianping"

The self-stick posters that were posted in front of the Regional Government and Regional People's Representative Congress buildings said, "Erdao Police Station Violates Laws and Arrests Good People."

Plainclothes police officers from the Qianerdao Township Police Station in the Fengman region in Jilin City followed Chief Chang Yao and political head Li Jianping. At around 8:00 a.m. on August 18, they drove two minivans to the Wangxiang Village Duguo team and arrested practitioner Li Wenyou, who is over 50, and another unnamed practitioner. In the meantime they ransacked practitioner Li Liying's home. That same day, police also arrested practitioner Xu Guizhen in Hedong Village.

This time, the police arrested Falun Gong practitioners with a pre-planned scheme. They had already gathered information on these practitioners after long-term monitoring of local practitioners who are persistent in practicing Falun Gong. The police waited for opportunities to persecute them. Recently, under orders from the Jilin City 610 Office, the Fengman regional 610 Office, and the Fengman Police Precinct, police officers and others from Qianerdao Township started to harass and arrest practitioners. When a police officer found that Li Youwen's wife, Fang Lichun, had disappeared, he told the other officer, "It does not matter if we lose one since we have already reached our arrest quota."

Qianerdao Township governors and personnel at the police station in the Fengman region in Jilin City have ruthlessly persecuted practitioners since the persecution began on July 20, 1999. Two practitioners from the Fengman region have already died from the persecution. They are Qianerdao Township Middle School Directors Wang Ziguang and Guo Shufen. More than ten people were illegally sent to forced labor camps, and many practitioners were illegally detained, had their homes searched, and were fined. Other practitioners were harassed to the extent that they opted to leave their homes to avoid being persecuted.

The self-stick posters posted in front of the gate of Fengman Regional government with the wording "Erdao Police Station Violates Laws and Arrests Good People"

2. [Hebei Province] Mr. Sun Jiangzhong Brutally Tortured in Jidong Prison

Practitioner Mr. Sun Jiangzhong from the Fengrun District of Tangshan City, Hebei Province, was arrested by the local police in December 2002 and later sentenced to seven years of imprisonment at Jidong Prison in Hebei Province.

In June 2005, Mr. Sun was transferred from the Fourth to the Fifth Division of Jidong Prison. After he arrived in the Fifth Division, the police locked him in a small cell. Mr. Sun went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution, but the police ignored him. Afterwards, they sent him to the "Strictly Monitored Team" for inhuman persecution, and he was not allowed to have enough to eat. Every day he was forced to sit on a small bench and face the wall without moving. Every afternoon, he was forced to do routine army marches, running and routine exercises with prisoners who did not follow the prison regulations.

The director of Jidong Prison ordered the Fifth Division police guards to brainwash Mr. Sun within three months. In order to achieve that goal, Huang Liansheng, the executive education officer of the Fifth Division, and Xie, the leader of the strictly monitored team, tortured him brutally. They would not allow his family to visit him or send him anything. When they could not change Mr. Sun's mind, they permitted his family to meet him once in July to help brainwash him. Huang Liansheng not only would not allow Mr. Sun's family to give him anything but also would not allow him to buy any food with his own money saved in prison. In the torrid summer, the police prohibited him from taking a bath or communicating with his family by phone or letters.

1. The Evil and Criminal Acts of the "Special Group" in the Handan Forced Labor Camp in Hebei Province

The "Special Group" in Handan Forced Labor Camp in Hebei Province is an evil's lair especially for persecuting male Falun Gong practitioners. On August 29, 2005, practitioner Mr. Cheng Weidong, who is about 36 years old, refused to watch movies slandering Falun Gong. Two policemen simultaneously shocked him with four electric batons, and also savagely beat him with a leather whip. Mr. Cheng subsequently had wounds all over his body. It was so heartbreaking that it was unbearable to look at him. Because practitioner Mr. Wang Zhiwu did not give up his practice of Falun Gong, the police shocked and beat him with electric batons many times. He was also handcuffed and made to stand in the courtyard day and night. He was not allowed to eat or sleep.
