Ms. Guo Runzhen, 56, lived in Tianjin City. Before she practised Falun Gong, she had high blood pressure and diabetes. After she started practising Falun Gong in 1997, she totally recovered from the illnesses. When the Chinese Government started persecuting Falun Gong in 1999, she went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practise Falun Gong. The police from the Tanggu Police Department in Tianjin City arrested her. They searched her home and confiscated some of her belongings. After she was released, the personnel who were in charge of Politics and Security in the Sanhuai Road Community continually harassed her at home. Ms. Guo suffered tremendously both physically and emotionally. They also forced her family members to monitor her and would not allow her to contact other practitioners. As a result of the ongoing persecution, Ms. Guo Runzhen's old illnesses returned and she died in January 2004.

Ms. Mou Guilan, 69, lived in Dalian City, Liaoning Province. After July 20th 1999, the local police and the officials from the Taiyuan Street Community frequently came to her home to harass her and coerce her to give up Falun Dafa.
