Falun Dafa Practitioner Mrs. Wang Jifeng from Chongqing City Passed Away in 2003 Due to Persecution

Falun Dafa practitioner Mrs. Wang Jifeng from Chongqing City passed away on August 13th, 2003 as a result of cruel persecution by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials. She was 26 years old. Her husband Gu Shengxue was sentenced to two years of forced labour and was actually held in a labour camp for five years. Her sister Wang Jiqin died in September 2002 after being savagely tortured at the Maojiashan Women's Labour Camp in Chongqing City. She was 29 years old.

Wang Jifeng, Wang Jiqin and their families lived at the Songzao Coal Mine in Qijiang, Chongqing City. They benefited tremendously from practising Falun Gong. Wang Jiqin, who was seriously ill, completely recovered. Her mother's temperament changed greatly. She became kind, tolerant and considerate and stopped fighting with others for personal interest. She used to grow angry over little things, due to the stress of taking care of the entire family. Fights often broke out in the family. After practising Falun Dafa, however, the family got along great and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After the CCP and Jiang Zemin started persecuting Falun Dafa on July 20th, 1999, Wang Jifeng, Wang Jiqin and their families were severely persecuted for their practice of Falun Gong. Lawless government officials frequently ransacked the homes of Wang Jifeng, her husband Gu Shengxue, her sister Wang Jiqin and her mother. They were detained at detention centres and given heavy fines. Wang Jifeng's husband Gu Shengxue was sentenced to two years of forced labour in 1999. Police officers from the Songzao Coal Mine in Qijiang County arrested her sister Wang Jiquin on June 29th, 2000. On July 29th, 2000 she was sent to the Maojiashan Women's Forced Labour Camp in Chongqing City to be held for two years. Wang Jifeng went to appeal for justice for Dafa and was detained for one month. She was held at the Maojiashan Women's Labour Camp for one year in 2000.

Wang Jifeng's husband Gu Shengxue was tortured at the Xishanping Forced Labour Camp in Chongqing City for two years. The guards and the inmates savagely beat him and tortured him with electric batons and spiked clubs. They further forbade him to sleep or take a shower and forced him to read materials slandering Dafa. They detained him in solitary confinement and forced him to do slave labour and extensive drills in an attempt to destroy his belief in Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. Seeing that their methods didn't have an effect on his determination, they extended his term.

Wang Jifeng's sister Wang Jiqin was savagely beaten many times at the Maojiashan Women's Forced Labour Camp under orders from the guards. Guard Yang Ming ordered several inmates to force-feed and inject her with unknown drugs, claiming to "treat her illness," making her immediately lose consciousness. To evade responsibility for their actions they sent Wang Jiqin home, but only when she was on the brink of death. She could not take care of herself due to severe injuries from the brutal abuse at the camp. After several months of suffering, she passed away on September 23rd, 2002.

Wang Jifeng was released after one year of forced labour, but the local authorities harassed her frequently afterwards. In January 2002, they constantly hounded her after she attended an experience-sharing meeting with other practitioners. Thereafter she left home to avoid arrest. Several months after his release from the labour camp, her husband Gu Shengxue was arrested on October 14th while doing some shopping. The police secretly held him at the Qijiang County Detention Centre and sentenced him to three years of forced labour.

After Wang Jiqin died from the persecution, the police ordered about eight people to block the door to her home from the outside, saying, "The Sixteenth Party Congress will be held in a few days, so keep them from making trouble." They locked her parents inside and forbade them from leaving home. The officials also probed for Wang Jifeng's whereabouts, leaving her no choice but to live away from her own home.

Wang Jifeng endured tremendous physical and mental trauma during this terrible persecution. She passed away on August 13th, 2003. The CCP and Jiang Zemin's regime are the reason for countless families being torn apart just like this.
