In May of 2001, while distributing leaflets exposing the persecution in Qiongshan City, Ms Qiaoying was arrested by the authorities. While at Qiongshan Detention Centre, Ms. Fang was tortured until she was emaciated, lost all her hair, and had two holes appear on her lung. Only then was she was released, almost on her last gasp of breath when she finally got home. After a little while, when her body just began to recover, the authorities came to harass and threaten Ms. Fang again. Ms. Fang Qiaoying passed away in 2004 as a result of the persecution.

Mr. Wang Xuejin, around 60 years old, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Jinshi City, Hunan Province, went to Beijing in 1999 to appeal for Falun Dafa. He was detained and persecuted many times.

After she was released and came back home, Ms. Ning was constantly harassed by the authorities. This brought about a recurrence of her previous lung cancer, and Ms. Ning died in April of 2003.

Ms. Li Jingfang was about 70 years old, from Siping City, Jilin Province. After she started practising Falun Dafa, her mind and body both reached a very healthy state. She had a car accident and though she was frightened, she was not badly injured at all and only took few days to recover. Her whole family saw what had happened and how she recovered so quickly. After the persecution began on July 20th 1999, police department officials and local residential district staff members constantly harassed her family and threatened Ms. Li. Her family did not understand the facts and thus stopped her from practising Falun Gong. As a result, Ms. Li suffered tremendous mental pressure, causing her old sickness to return. Not long after this, she passed away.

Mr. Ma Jisheng, 60 years old, was a retired worker from the Shengli Oil Field in Shandong Province, who began practising Falun Dafa in 1992. After he started practising, many of his previous illnesses were healed.

He was arrested and locked up in a detention centre. When Mr. Ma returned home, he was often harassed by staff from his former work unit.

Mr. Yang Shouping, about 43 years old, was a resident of Tianmen City in Hubei Province. Before 1997 when he started to practise Falun Dafa, serious illness had tormented his body and he had failed in finding any medical cure. After practising Falun Dafa for less than two months, Mr. Yang's illnesses disappeared. Nevertheless, after July 20th 1999 local officials tried to force Mr. Yang to give up the practice many times. They confiscated a lot of his Dafa books and caused him so much trouble that he could not practise anymore. As a result, his old illness recurred and Yang Shouping died in 2004.

Mr. Liang Wenbing, 72 years old, was a practitioner from Yuekou Town, Tianmen City, Hubei Province. Ever since he learned Falun Dafa in the spring of 1999, he firmly believed in Falun Dafa.

After the persecution started on July 20th 1999, Ms. Zhang went to Beijing to appeal, but she was blocked by 610 Office agents on the way and sent back. Because Ms. Zhang lost her normal practice environment, she lost her life to illness.

Mr. Shen Xinggui was 69 years old and came from Zhaoyang District. He previously suffered from high blood pressure. Since 1996, when he started to practise Dafa, his mind and body became healthy and normal.
