His Leukemia Cured after Practising Falun Dafa, Hu Xiangdong Dies as a Result of Persecution; Ms. Ge Ling Sentenced Again to Two Years of Forced Labour

Mr. Hu Xiangdong lived in Yongxiu County, Jiangxi Province. He previously had leukemia, which disappeared after he began Falun Dafa practice. He was then able to do farm labour in the fields. After the persecution of Falun Gong began on July 20, 1999, lawless officials sent people to follow Mr. Hu, and they forbade him to practise Falun Dafa. His old illness returned, and he died on December 13, 2003.

Mr. Hu developed leukemia in 1997, spent more than fifty thousand yuan (1) on medical treatments, and his condition did not improve at all. Hu Xiangdong was fortunate to learn Falun Dafa cultivation in 1998, and he was fully cured. He did not need to take any medicine for nine months, and he began working in the fields again.

After July 20, 1999, a policeman ordered Mr. Hu to hand in all his Falun Dafa materials. He refused. Later, the police ransacked his home, and threatened him. They also sent people to follow him, and did not allow him to practise the Falun Dafa exercises. That really hurt him physically. His leukemia returned, and he had to check into a hospital in Nanchang City.

Facing journalists from Jiangxi TV and Nanchang City Broadcasting Station, Mr. Hu said with dignity, "Falun Dafa cured my illness, but the police do not allow me to practise, and that caused my leukemia to return." His doctor, Dr. Kong said, "We really can do nothing for him." Hu Xiangdong had to spend another fifty-some thousand yuan on treatment, but died on December 13, 2003.

Another Falun Dafa practitioner, Ms. Ge Ling is a Chinese herb pharmacist employed by Yongxiu County Hospital, Jiangxi Province. On December 6, 2004, Ms. Ge had just been released from a forced labour camp, and was resting at home. Police Chief ordered several policemen to storm into Ms. Ge's home, ransack the house, arrest her, take her to a detention centre, and torture her brutally. At night she was tied to a bed with handcuffs and ankle shackles. Her hands and feet were exposed to the cold, and she could not move. Ge Ling was force-fed with a concentrated salt solution, and her entire body became burning hot. She had to take her clothes off to cool down. In order to conceal their abuse, the police would not allow her family to visit. Ms. Ge was sentenced again to two years of forced labour. She went on a hunger strike to protest. Now she is very weak, suffers extreme pain, and is in critical condition.
