A Happy Family is Persecuted; Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Tortures Husband to Death, Wife Imprisoned

Ms. Feng Xiaomei and her husband, Mr. Wang Hongbin, used to work as engineers in the Postal Department of the Telephone Instrument Field Company in Hebei Province. Ms. Feng was a very responsible and diligent worker and held the title of General Engineer of the factory when she was just 30 years old. Mr. Wang was always willing to help others. Their son, Wang Boru, is a very mature and sensible child. One could easily see that the family was both harmonious and happy.

But in July 1999, China's autocratic Communist Party launched an unjust campaign of arrests, violence, and propaganda against Falun Gong. As a result, Mr. Wang and his wife were arrested and harassed many times. Due to the pressure exerted by both the city and provincial level 610 Office¹, the couple's employer was forced to fire them.

In 2001, Mr. Wang was arrested and tortured by 610 Office agents and officers from the Yuhua Police Department and was later sentenced to three years of forced labour. He was handcuffed with his arms behind his back and was forced to stand in bare feet on a cold concrete floor while guards interrogated him throughout the night. In addition, he was forced to watch as guards tortured his fellow practitioners. In order to "transform²" Mr. Wang as quickly as possible, the guards tortured him with sleep deprivation, hung him up by handcuffs, and used matches to severely burn his hands, nearly burning off his fingernails.

After being subjected to long term physical and mental torture, Mr. Wang's once healthy body started to exhibit the early signs of lung cancer. Although he coughed a lot and found it very difficult to breathe, the guards at the labour camp ignored his condition and refused to release him. Because his wife was not allowed to visit him for an entire year, she had to stand outside of the labour camp's walls with her son and call out to her husband. Only once did Mr. Wang hear his wife calling to him.

At the end of 2003, Mr. Wang was finally released back home. However, due to the brutal torture he was subjected to in the labour camp, he passed away at the early age of 39.

Ms. Feng Xiaomei's sister, Ms. Feng Xiaomin, was later arrested, beaten, and detained because she distribute leaflets exposing the persecution of Falun Gong at a popular scenic area. Her sister's family was later forced to leave home in order to avoid further persecution and possible arrest. This made it very difficult for Ms. Feng Xiaomin to cope with raising her 3-year-old son, Tianxing, while on the run. As a result, she passed away leaving Ms. Feng Xiamei to take care of and support her son.

While all of this was going on, the city and provincial level 610 Offices were making plans to arrest Ms. Feng Xiaomei. When Ms. Feng's father, a kind school teacher in a rural area, found out about the persecution of his daughters, he became extremely depressed and broken hearted and as a result, he passed away before he turned seventy years old.

Whenever Ms. Feng Xiaomei recalled her husband and sister's death and the breakup of her entire family, she felt emotionally devastated. In addition, she had to work very hard each day to support the whole family.

But on April 17th, 2009 Ms. Feng was arrested at her workplace by officers from the Shijiazhuang City Police Department and the Gaocheng City Police Department and was detained for five days. She was later secretly taken away by Liang Jie, an agent of the Gaocheng City State Security Division and was reported missing for fourteen days. On May 16th, 2009, Ms. Feng was sentenced to one and a half years at the Hebei Province Women's Forced Labour Camp.

As a result, Ms. Feng's mother, in her seventies, was left to care for and financially support her two little grandsons under the watchful eyes of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents.

People of the world, please stand up and condemn the CCP's inhumane persecution of Falun Gong and help stop this brutal persecution as soon as possible.
