The Persecution Suffered by Two Practitioners Before They Died

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Su Caixia was held in detention and persecuted several times. She was forced to become destitute and homeless because she wanted to practise Falun Gong without being arrested. She died in mid-August of 2004.

Ms. Su Caixia was fifty-seven years old and an employee at the Nanle County Public Hospital in Henan province. She started to practise Falun Dafa in 1996. She had suffered from numerous diseases before her cultivation, such as diabetes, a serious female related disease, high blood pressure and heart disease. All of her health problems disappeared after she started cultivation and she became very healthy. When the vicious Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute Falun Gong in 1999, she went to Anyang County, Zhengzhou City in order to tell the truth about Falun Gong to the government. Around October, she went to Beijing in order to appeal. The police then arrested her and detained her at the Nanle Detention Centre. In January 2001, they forced her to go to the brainwashing centre in the Nanle County Communist School. Since they were not able to "transform¹" Su Caixia, they detained her at the Nanle County Detention Centre. After fifty days in detention, they deceived and "transformed" her. When she returned home, her eyesight became blurry. With the help of Dafa practitioners and studying the Falun Dafa books, she started to understand the mistake of being "transformed." She wrote a "solemn declaration" and posted it in the streets.

The authorities began to follow her, stopped paying her husband's salary and threatened to fire her son from his job. Su Caixia was forced to become destitute and homeless, and went to speak out for justice in Shandong province and Beijing. After three months of going from place to place, her health started to deteriorate. After she returned home, a tumour started to grow on her inner thigh. She was neither able to lie down, sit nor go to the toilet. Even under such circumstances, the police still arrested her and detained her for two days. Later the tumour disappeared. The police also threatened her family, kept a close surveillance on her and stopped her from studying the Falun Dafa books and doing the exercises. After that, Su Caixia's health worsened daily and she died in July of 2004.

Falun Dafa Practitioner Liu Wanzhong from Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province Died In 2000

Mr. Liu Wanzong was seventy years old and a resident of the Fangshen Village, Liuzhangzi County, Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province. He suffered from a stroke, suffered partial paralysis on the right side, lost his memory and his speech was slow. Even after he was diagnosed and treated in the hospital, he did not improve much. He started to practise Falun Gong. On the fourth day of listening to Teacher Li's Lecture tapes, he felt his body becoming relaxed. He was at ease and felt as though his sickness had disappeared. A big change had occurred physically and mentally. This strengthened his belief in Dafa. After that, he studied the books and practised the exercises everyday; he improved his moral standard and attained very good health. A seventy year old man was able to carry over 100 kilogramme of material on his bicycle while travelling back and forth for 100 miles without getting tired.

However, since July 20th, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party started the inhumane persecution of everyone who practised "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance". Liu Wanzhong experienced endless threats and terror. One day, people from the Liuzhangzi Village police station suddenly broke into his house and arrested his son and son-in-law, who were building his house at that time. They detained the younger son at the Lingyuan City police station detention centre for fifteen days. It was the October 1st National Day holiday, considered a politically "sensitive" time. Instead of releasing his younger son, they added fifteen days to his term. After Liu Wanzhong experienced this terrible incident, he worried all the time. His old illnesses recurred, and he died on October 30th, 2000.
