Five Year Old Du Yuxin is in the Care of Her Grandmother After Losing Both Parents in Persecution

Du Yuxin is five years old. She lives at 15 Yongsheng No.1 Lane, Songpu Town, Songbei District, Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. She was only four when her mother Zhao Shuhong died.

Both her parents practised Falun Dafa, and taught her to listen to Master Li's lectures on tape, watch videos of Master Li teaching the Fa, recite His poems, and do the exercises. She is currently going to the Young Doctor Nursery School located in Tangyuan Street, Songpu Town. Her grandmother is looking after her.

Du Yuxin's mother Zhao Shuhong was a former employee of Xingye Construction Materials Store. She obtained the Fa in July, 1998. In the winter of 2000, she went to Beijing to validate the Fa, and returned home after being detained. She continued to validate the Fa, clarify the truth, and coordinate local activities. On March 5, 2003, she and her fellow practitioner, Ms. Lei Min (now is prison) were blocked in at a Falun Dafa materials centre. More than 100 police surrounded their building, coming from Harbin City Police Station Director, each level of station police, and the Songpu Substation. They took this assignment as something major, and did everything they could to get into the room, but the two practitioners never opened the door. Finally, the police broke in. In order to protest the persecution, the practitioners jumped out the window, and Ms. Zhao Shuhong died in the fall. She was only 28 years old.

Before the police broke in, the practitioners were able to contact their fellow practitioners, and destroy materials that might bring undue pressure and damage to the whole region in the hands of police.

Yuxin's father Du Qingjun is 33 years old. He worked for the Xingye Construction Materials Store. He obtained the Fa in 1996. In the winter of 2000, he went to Beijing to validate the Fa, and was detained several days in Beijing, and then 20 days in Harbin City Daowai Station. Upon returning home, he continued to clarify the truth. He was arrested on March 5, 2003 by police to Daowai Substation, then transferred to No.7 Police Branch of Harbin City Police system, where he was tortured, interrogated, and transferred back to Daowai Police Station. At the end of 2003, Daowai Procuratorate tried to sentence him to prison, but failed due to lack of evidence. Daowai Procuratorate then fabricated more evidence, and sent his file to the Court again. The Daowai District Court accepted the false evidence, and sentenced Du Qingjun 8 years in prison, which he is serving in Hulan Prison located in Harbin City.

When Du Qingjun was arrested, his father was sick in bed. Since Du Qingjun could no longer help his mother take care of him, his father was frightened, and died several months later, from worry and lack of care.

Yuxin's grandmother Song Yulan is 67 years old. She is retired, and has very little income. As a result of the persecution against Falun Dafa, her daughter-in-law and husband are both dead, her son is in prison, and she has to take care little Yuxin as best she can.

Ms. Zhao Shuhong's death affidavit was signed by her daughter Bian Fengyi. She is the manager of Xingye Construction Material Store. The store address is Yongsheng Street, Songpu Town, Songbei District, Harbin City, Tel: 86-451-84092828, 86-451-84093384 (h).
