After Being Missing Six Years, Wang Xiangshang Returned Home and Died at the Door

At 2:00 p.m., June 16th, 2006, Mr. Wang Xiangshang suddenly appeared at the door of his home and fell to the ground. His mother kept calling his name. Mr. Wang looked at his mother with wide open eyes, filled with tears. He died without saying one word. When he died, this 38-year-old man only weighed about 25 kg [55 lbs].

Because he practised Falun Dafa, Mr. Wang was forced to leave home to escape the persecution. For the past 6 years, his family members had no idea where he was. After being missing for 6 years, he suddenly appeared at the front door of his home. But why was he near death? How did he arrive at the door? This has to be investigated!

Mr. Wang Xiangshang, 38, was an employee at Yuzhou City Power Plant in Henan province. In October 2000, the secretary of the factory's law enforcement office, Zhang Xizhong, called Mr. Wang to his office. He demanded that Mr. Wang renounce Falun Gong. Mr. Wang refused. He was arrested immediately and taken to Yuzhou Detention Centre by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members Zhang Guanlin and Xia Yuxiao of Yuzhou City. During the detention, the factory cancelled his work contract.

Mr. Wang went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. Xia Yuxiao and others actively persecuted him. They waited in front of his home and tried to catch him. Mr. Wang was forced to become homeless and lost contact with his family for 6 years.

Mr. Wang Jinghua, father of Wang Xiangshang, was a retired employee of the Yuzhou Bureau of Education and practised Falun Dafa also. After the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong began on July 20th, 1999, Mr. Wang Jinghua went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. He was arrested by police and taken back to his hometown. Because of the CCP's brutal persecution, the elder Mr. Wang passed away in December 2000. He was 74.

Since July 20th, 1999, police from the Yuzhou Police Station, headed by Deputy Director Li Jinliang, Director of Political Security Zhang Guanlin and Political Instructor Xia Yuxiao, persecuted local Falun Dafa practitioners inhumanly. Practitioners were often beaten and insulted. These wicked people confiscated family property, put practitioners in detention centres and forced labour camps, and sentenced them to prison. Shang Shuichi, a physical education teacher at Wuliang Middle School in Wuliang Town, Yuzhou, was persecuted to death.

Preliminary research indicates that at least 13 Falun Gong practitioners were sentenced to prison, at least 28 were taken to forced labour camps, about 260 suffered detentions, and practitioners were fined hundreds of thousand yuan¹ by officials in Yuzhou City. Innocent Falun Gong practitioners and their family members were greatly harmed both mentally and physically. Many families were broken up, and often, untimely death resulted because of the persecution.
