Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Di Shuzhen from Bianjia Village, Changtu County, Tieling City, Liaoning Province was severely injured and lost consciousness after Jinjia Town Police Department thugs Feng Bolin and Hou Wenge cruelly beat her on the evening of February 3rd, 2002. They struck her with metal bars and wooden sticks. She later lost her eyesight and could not take care of herself. She passed away on February 19th, 2006.

Ms. Di Shuzhen was 47 years old. She was close to illiterate but amazingly could read through the main book of Falun Dafa after she started practising Falun Gong. Her back pain left without a trace. She went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Dafa in October 1999, was unconstitutionally detained, and had a large sum of money extorted from her. On the evening of February 3rd, 2002, she was chased and savagely beaten by Feng Bolin, deputy head of the Jinjia Town Police Department, Hou Wenge, and others from the same police department. They savagely beat her until she lost consciousness. They thought she had died and hastily drove away.

Ms. Di came to and slowly crawled home. Her family rushed her to the No. 1 People's Hospital in Changtu County on a tricycle. An x-ray revealed that four of her left ribs were broken, causing a severe hemorrhage of her lung. The doctor surgically drew half a washbasin of blood and fluid from her chest. She was hospitalised for 11 days and incurred more than 6,000 yuan1 in medical expenses. They discharged her early because she couldn't afford the costs.

On May 20th, 2002, agents from the Jinjia Police Department again detained Ms. Di, who had not yet recovered and sent her to the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. The labour camp refused to accept her because of her frail condition and sent her home.

The injuries left Ms. Di with frequent headaches and dizzy spells. She could not do any physical work and had frequent episodes of brief unconsciousness and went into convulsions. Her condition worsened in 2005. She didn't improve after receiving treatment at a local hospital. Her headaches became unbearable and she lost sight in both eyes. She could not take care of herself.

She passed away on February 19th, 2006. In the past few years, her family had spent 20,000 yuan on medical bills and police extortion money. They are drowning in debt. Her husband had earlier appealed at the Jinjia Town Police Department and was beaten twice.
