The Persecution Caused My Wife's Death and Injured My Son

When my family began cultivating in Dafa, the practice helped us purify our bodies and spirits. All of us benefited tremendously. After the persecution of Falun Gong by Jiang Zemin's regime began, my entire family suffered brutal persecution, including my wife, who was persecuted to death. Here I am giving the facts of how my family suffered from the persecution.

In the evening on July 22nd 1999, my entire family went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong in accordance with Chinese law. Village security officer Jia Zhituo brought seven or eight men and broke into my house. They confiscated many Dafa books and related materials. After I returned home, they arrested me and brought me to the village police station. I was handcuffed to the legs of a table for a night. On the second day, I was tied to a lamppost and brutally beaten. On the third day, I was taken to a brainwashing class and forced to write a Guarantee Statement, stating that I would not practise Falun Gong anymore.

At the end of November 1999, my wife and I went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa again. However, we were arrested at a Shenzhou City practitioner's home by police officer Shang Yunxing and taken to the police department. Four political security committee members attacked us with electric batons and shocked our heads and faces while kicking and punching us. We refused to submit to their demands and were imprisoned in the city police station and persecuted. They used our family members, who did not know the truth, to manipulate our emotions to compel us to write the so-called Guarantee Statement against our will, while we were in an irrational state.

In late 2000, the village Political and Judicial Committee and police officers arrested my wife and son for distributing leaflets exposing the persecution and took them to the detention centre again. My son suffered inhumane torture at the hands of the police. Many scars were left on his body. He was so badly injured that he now has trouble controlling his bowels.

I was forced to leave home. Due to my wife and son's determined will to continue cultivation, they were imprisoned in the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp. My wife suffered immensely, but she finally made it out of the camp. My son was forced to write the Guarantee Statement under intense pressure and was released a year later.

In the autumn of 2001, my wife went to Beijing to appeal once more and was arrested by city detention centre officials and abused. After more than ten days on a hunger strike, she was able to leave the detention centre again.

Her body and mind were deeply affected by the long-term persecution. In the spring of 2005, the local village criminal Jia Zhituo broke into our home and threatened that the village would take away our home if we did not give up practising Falun Dafa. My wife and I tried to reason with him, but instead of listening to us, he began cursing us. My wife suffered symptoms of a cerebral hemorrhage from the stress, and could not tend to her daily activities. Under such great pain, she could not even sleep or eat well, and she died. I say she was persecuted to death.

During the Chinese New Year 2001, I went to Beijing to appeal, but was detained in the Hengshui Station after the authorities recognised me. That night, I was taken back to the village government by the village government secretary. When they walked into the house with handcuffs in their hands, I was able to escape.

On February 13th 2004, Security Committee member Jia Siqing brought more than ten policemen from the Shenzhou City Police Department and broke into my home again. They confiscated a mobile phone, one large and one small cassette player, Dafa books and other materials. They cuffed my hands behind my back and I was held in the city detention centre for 50 days before they sentenced me to two years of imprisonment at the Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp.

At the camp, more than ten guards came to persecute practitioners. We were shocked severely with electric batons and punched and kicked by seven or eight policemen.

Around 7 p.m. on September 4th 2004, I thankfully made it out of the labour camp.
