The Cruel Force-Feeding I Endured In A Labour Camp

While being abused under the persecution at a forced labour camp hospital I upheld my belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."

The head of the labour camp once told me,

"I have a death quota here; thus it's quite normal for a few people to die here. No one can see what goes on in this forced labour camp! So, after your death, I could make prisoners give false testimony, saying that you committed suicide. It's very easy to do! As long as I reward them with a little bit of a favour, they will jump at it, like dogs. I could even choose a special day like your Teacher, Li Hongzhi's birthday to do it. Afterwards, we could invite TV reporters to come, telling them how a young college student became fanatical and sacrificed his life for his Teacher, with the hope to go to heaven by committing suicide...."

The long-term force-feeding under this persecution was bad enough - after a while the long tube made a few circles and formed a knot in my stomach. The abusers usually left it in me ten days or more. It was not properly secured, causing abrasion while I was breathing. As a result I vomited a lot of blood. Sometimes, the tube was removed and re-inserted by prisoners who found pleasure in torturing practitioners. One of them said once, "While we were doing it, we felt as happy as if we were cleaning a sewage system..."

A camp doctor once said, "I could almost imagine how he might respond to electric shock in his mouth. I really wanted to stick the electronic baton into his mouth and shock him. What a pity that he could not take it now." (I was too weak at that time and the doctor was afraid to take the responsibility if I died.)

Some other camp medical staff told me, "We don't insert the stomach force-feeding tube because we want to extend your life. We just make it squirm a little bit when your digestive system shows severe atrophy and complete loss of function. What we really want is to make you feel hungry."

Many people participating in these abuses receive immediate retribution such as festers on the body, swollen and distorted faces, ulcerated organs, demotions or lowered salary, and more. Some even had horrible dreams all day long and requested to leave.

Because I resisted the persecution by refusing to do forced labour, recite prison regulations or wear a prisons uniform, the guards hit me with a wooden plank several centimetres thick.

To prevent me from calling out the truth of Falun Gong they soaked a dirty towel in filthy sewage and gagged me with it. Then they wrapped my whole head with packaging tape and inserted tubes into my nose. I was almost choked to death and had several near-death experiences. They also tortured me with the death bed and "death bench" for more than 40 days. The excessive tightening broke several pieces of cowhide straps/cuffs that were used to immobilise my body. Later they switched to a "soft cuff" made of thick canvas and hard synthetic plastic bands for packaging. They cinched those even tighter! Although no external injuries were visible, my whole body showed dark purple-colour and oedema.

I no longer had any physical sensations and my body's existence became a burden. In extreme circumstances, my body felt so light that it was like floating in the air. I regained physical sensations approximately one year later.

Having observed the actual situation, one of the medical staff told a guard privately, "Had I arrived one second later, this person would be totally disabled." They also deprived me of sleep and of access to the toilet, apart from humiliating me in various other ways.

The guards told the prisoners torturing me many times, "As long as he is alive, you are free to apply any cruel methods on him. If anything happens, we will take care of it, because this is an order from upper management."

After several months of a fierce battle between good and evil, many prisoners, police and medical staff learned the truth and became respectful toward Falun Dafa. Many people who had participated in the persecution asked for forgiveness. Some guards even wanted to read the book and learn the exercises. The evil has exhausted all its methods. Once, after a thorough physical exam the labour camp head came to talk to me, "We plan to set you free and send you home. We are working on the issue and need your cooperation; for instance, after you are out, don't mention my name... We plan to send you to a secret and completely isolated place outside the forced labour camp. No one knows about the place except you, as it has no relationship with us. You will rest there for a while. And after your recovery, you will go home..."

The only thing I knew was that I should not cooperate with any arrangement of the evildoers and must request an unconditional release. In the end I left the forced labour camp openly and with dignity.

Soon, we heard the news that several Falun Gong practitioners had died from being persecuted in the labour camp. Many of their relatives were not even permitted to see the bodies.

After exposure of the horrifying news that organs from living Falun Gong practitioners are being harvested in the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) forced labour camps, prisons, secret concentration camps and hospitals, I suspect that at that time I was chosen as a candidate for live organ removal.
