Hubei Province Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Guo Chunsheng Dies from Violent Beating by Police

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Guo Chunsheng was from Wuhan City, Hubei Province. On October 30, 2003, his home was illegally ransacked by Gao Ziliu, the Fenghuang Town Party Secretary and concurrent Political and Judiciary Committee Secretary, and others. They attempted to abduct Mr. Guo to a brainwashing centre. In the process they violently beat Mr. Guo, causing him to vomit blood. He passed away at 8 p.m. the next day.

Mr. Guo, who was 45 years old, made a living by running a small business. He used to have many diseases, including hepatitis, and had received medical treatment for a long time but found no help. He started practising Falun Dafa in February 1999, and all his diseases were gone in just three months. For the years following, he had not taken any medication and had remained very healthy.

Mr. Guo had been following Falun Dafa's principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" in every circumstance, and getting along very well with his neighbours and fellow villagers. He traded fairly in conducting business, and people all praised him as being a very good person.

At around 8 p.m. on Oct. 30, 2003, Gao Ziliu, Luo Yinhe, Zhou Yanfeng, Xu Hongping, Guo Wenbing and Fan Fuhua, broke into Mr. Guo's home without presenting any warrant or following any legal procedures. They attempted to abduct him to a Brainwashing Centre. A police van from the Fenghuang Town Police Station was parked right at the door, in which other practitioners who had just been arrested were held.

Gao Ziliu and Xu Hongping rushed to the second floor and ransacked the place, destroying everything. Xu Hongping viciously took down Teacher Li's picture and destroyed the glass frame and even stepped on it. They seized the picture and other photos related to Falun Dafa and ran downstairs in a hurry. Mr. Guo's wife, Mrs. Zhang Congjun, blocked them at the foot of the stairs, and asked for the photos back. But Gao Ziliu viciously shoved Mrs. Zhang, a disabled woman, and ran away.

Seeing Gao Ziliu and his gang running away in such a hurry, she then recalled hearing her husband's painful moaning from upstairs earlier. She realized something was wrong and went to her husband's room immediately, and was shocked at what she saw: Mr. Guo had tears all over his face because of the pain, and was doubled over in bed holding his lower abdomen and vomiting blood. His blood filled a basin. The family members immediately took Mr. Guo to the Xinzhou District People's Hospital emergency room. He vomited blood four more times after he was taken to the hospital. He passed away the next day as a result of the injuries he'd received at the hands of the police.

To escape responsibility and destroy the evidence, Liu Xiaoming, the Town Executive, and Xiong Guohui, the Deputy Town Executive, acted on behalf of Gao Ziliu and his gang and deceived Mrs. Zhang and her family members into having Mr. Guo's body cremated in a hurry.

Mr. Guo's untimely death has left his young son and daughter with no guardian, his elderly mother with no financial support, and his disabled wife with no caregiver. The family has been mourning the loss of their beloved kin every day.
