Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the minghui.ca website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).

Practitioner Ms. Yang Zehui from Kangping County, Liaoning Province, owns a small food shop and treats every customer according to the standards of "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance." She posted the three words at the front of the store on opening day, September 1st, 2006.

Local officers from Zhenbei Police Station in Kangping County demanded that Ms. Yang remove the three words, which express the essential principles of the practice of Falun Dafa. Ms. Yang Zehui and her family said, "What’s wrong with these three words? There is nothing wrong with doing things according to Truth-Compassion-Tolerance. We believe in it." Yang Xiantao, Zhenbei Police Station chief, directed a group of officers including Xia Pinqing and Wang Jinyun to tear down the three words. Ms. Yang's son tried to reason with them, but Chief Yang Xiantao screamed for the officers to search the shop. Xia Pinqing shouted, "I’m in charge of this area! Hurry up and take them down!" More than two hours passed. Many people gathered in front of Yang Zehui’s store. The police knew that they were in the wrong. They pinned her and her son down, handcuffed them, and took them away. The police then detained Ms. Yang.
