Ms. Zhang Huifang, 64, was a Falun Dafa practitioner from Wuhan City, Hubei Province. She previously suffered from many illnesses such as hepatitis, ulcer, heart disease, and gynecological problems. She learned Falun Dafa in 1993, regained her health, and changed from a weak and frail person to one who was very energetic. After July 20, 1999, when the persecution began, she joined an outdoor group practice site and went to Beijing to appeal. She was arrested three times, detained, frequently harassed, and closely monitored. Because she was overwhelmed emotionally, her old ailments returned. She died on July 13, 2003.

In February 2001, she was sentenced to one year of forced labour and imprisoned at the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. She declared that all written statements to renounce Falun Dafa she made while in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp were null and void.

In April 2002, he was sentenced to three years of forced labour for passing out leaflets exposing the persecution. In May 2003, during his labour camp term, the lawless officials sentenced him to three and a half years in prison.

Her husband was sentenced to two years of forced labour in 2002 for cultivating Falun Dafa. When her husband was in the labour camp, police harassed her repeatedly and forced her to stop the practice. She resumed the practice after her husband returned from the labour camp. Under the tremendous mental pressure, her old illness returned, and she died on November 5, 2004.
Liu Bizhen was around 60 years old and a teacher at the Mijiatan Elementary School in Chenxi County, Hunan Province. She began practising Dafa in 1995 and was cured of all of her illnesses. In December 1999, she was detained in a local custody centre because she went to Beijing to appeal, and the authorities extorted money from her. After she was released, local 610 Office (1) agents and the school harassed and persecuted her. The school principal forced Liu Bizhen to phone the school officials twice a day - once in the morning and once at night - to report her activities. They forced her daughter to interfere with her practice, which prevented her from studying the teachings and doing the exercises on a regular basis. As a result, she had a relapse of her old illnesses and passed away in December 2004.
Ms. Tang Wanqing was in her 30s and lived in Chenxi County, Hunan Province. She began practising Dafa in early 1999.

She never recovered from the psychological damage caused by this torture and drowned herself in a river in 2003.
Mr. Tang Chaofu was in his 40s. He worked as the director of the Chenxi County Food Office. He used to suffer from nasal sinus cancer and was given several months to live, but his illness went away after he started practising Dafa in 1996. After July 20, 1999, the officials at his work unit pressured and harassed Tang Chaofu at his home many times, which prevented him from studying the teachings and doing the exercises. This triggered a relapse of his old illness. He passed away in October 2002.
Ms. Mao Haizhen was in her 50s and lived in Chenxi County, Hunan Province. She started practising Dafa in early 1995 and all of her illnesses disappeared. After July 20, 1999, a local police officer named Liu Shuqin ransacked Mao Haizhen's home and threatened her. Because the local police ransacked her home and threatened her numerous times, Mao Haizhen was traumatised and had a relapse of her old illness. She passed away in 2001.
