Mr. Hu Guoyan was a 72-year-old Dafa practitioner from Hubei Province. He started practising Falun Dafa in 1998. He then easily gave up smoking, something he had been unable to do for several decades. His body grew stronger and stronger. Mr. Hu's character transformed from sullen silence, as a result of suffering persecution throughout the course of numerous past political Communist movements, to becoming a joyful and light-hearted man. Mr. Hu's entire family was overjoyed with the changes in him. On July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party launched its systematic persecution of Falun Dafa and Dafa practitioners. The elderly man was unable to escape the persecution. His family went to the Provincial Capital to appeal for Dafa. After going home, they suffered persecution. Local officials often came to their door to harass, threaten and intimidate them. They demanded food and drink from the family during these episodes, and treated them in cruel and demeaning ways. Mr. Hu suffered under the enormous psychological pressure. His daughter was illegally imprisoned, and suffered persecution through brainwashing. The illiterate elderly man couldn't find anyone to help him, and lost his cultivation environment. His mind and body began to degenerate rapidly, and he passed away in July 2001.
Ms. Xia Jingxiu was a 70-year-old resident of Chifeng City in Inner Mongolia. Ms. Xia began to practise Falun Gong in November 1998. After she had practised for one month, her diabetes, hypertension and various other illnesses disappeared. From then on, she always followed Truth, Compassion and Forbearance in daily life. Not only did she obtain good health, but her mind was also purified. In July 2003, officials from the 610 Office (1) in concert with other local authorities, conducted a brainwashing class to persecute the elderly woman. They didn't allow her to practise. Ms. Xia then suffered a relapse of her illnesses, and became unable to take care of herself. She died of her illnesses on April 27, 2005.
Ms.Jiang Xueying, a Dafa practitioner in Liaoning, once had many diseases. After she practised Falun Dafa, her illnesses disappeared without medical treatment.

She suffered a relapse and died of illness on November 8, 2004.
Ms.Wang Baozhong, a 60-year-old resident of Luushunkou District in Liaoning Province, learned Falun Dafa in 1996.
