Practitioner Mr. Li Hai from Shandong Province Suffered Severe Persecution Before his Death

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Li Hai from Shandong Province suffered severe persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) before his death. Due to a prolonged period of unjustified harassment, threats, extortion, and torture, Mr. Li Hai died on January 24th, 2003 at his home at the age of 67.

Mr. Li Hai was from Xiaozhuanggou Village, Haogezhuang Town of Zhucheng City. On July 22nd, 1999, he was taken away by local government personnel to Jiaojia Zhuangzi Village in Haogezhuang Town. The personnel violently beat and scolded him. They forced him to openly admonish himself in a meeting of Communist Party members before the entire town, and they forced him to slander Dafa on a televised broadcast. He suffered enormous bodily and psychological torture.

In June or July of 2000, his son, Mr. Li Wensheng, was incarcerated and persecuted for over 40 days for saying that he would continue practising Falun Gong. Every day, Mr. Li Hai had to go back and forth over a dozen miles to deliver food to his son. Meanwhile, he had to care for his farm. In addition, the perpetrators threatened and scorned him. Due to excessive fatigue from the mental and physical torture, he was hit by a horse waggon one day on the way to delivering food to his son. The waggon driver fled. Mr. Li's painful groans were overheard by a neighbouring villager. This kind-hearted villager took him home. His leg was badly wounded, and his knees were bleeding. He could not walk for over 10 days. The perpetrators did not release his son until he used his house deed as a warrant.

In October 2000, Mr. Li Hai's wife, Ms. Feng Shoulan, and son, Mr. Li Wensheng, went to appeal for justice for Falun Gong in Beijing. They were both detained and arrested. Under the guidance of Haogezhuang Town's Party Secretary, Mr. Li Yongming, and the Politics and Law Secretary, Wang Xinjun, the police and others persecuted Mr. Li Hai even more unscrupulously. At that time, the Zhucheng City Police Department fined the Haogezhuang Town local police station 5,000 yuan¹. In order to get this 5,000 yuan, police officers Li Fengchun, Zhang Congguang, Zhou Jianbo, and Zheng Deming, and officials Zhu Xifeng, Guo Fangxue, and Guo Fangming took turns visiting Mr. Li to demand money almost daily. They scolded and threatened him. They extorted money from him and blackmailed him. Sometimes, they took him to the local police station to beat him and accuse him mercilessly. They also had someone monitoring him.

One evening during the days when both his wife and son were tragically suffering from detention and persecution, over a dozen people from the Political Security Team of Zhucheng City, the local police station, the Town Committee, the Village Committee and so on, ransacked his house. They threatened him and railed him. They rummaged through chests and cupboards and confiscated his Dafa materials and a tape recorder. Police officer Li Fengchun attacked Mr. Li Hai's head fiercely with a broom and compelled him to hand over money. He claimed that if they could not get money from him, they would expel him from his house. As a result, Mr. Li's income for an entire year was completely extorted and looted. He was also forced to sell his cow (farming cattle is a necessity on a farm in this mountainous area), peanuts, soybeans, and corn to make up over 4,000 yuan. The family home was looted until almost nothing was left. In his old age with an ill body, Mr. Li Hai had to work in shops and receive help from his relatives.

After one month of detention, Mr. Li's son, Mr. Li Wensheng, was taken to the Haogezhuang Food Station by the Town Committee and the local police station. There, he was locked up for over 40 days. Several villagers took turns watching him. He was then sentenced to three years of forced labour. Mr. Li Hai had to deliver food to his son every day, travelling back and forth several miles, whatever the weather.

Under such brutal persecution, Mr. Li Hai was often absent-minded, with his face bathed in tears. In the Haogezhuang Town local police station, under the incitement of Guo Fangxue and Guo Fangming, police officer Li Fengchun fiercely attacked Mr. Li Hai's head with a piece of iron hardware. Mr. Li felt dizzy right at that moment. After this incident, he became even more absent-minded and depressed. He had no strength to work and was scared whenever he saw police officers or vehicles. His legs atrophied, and his health was getting worse and worse. He felt excruciating pain in his upper body and he would occasionally spit up blood. Sometimes the pain was so great that he would fall to the ground, unable to get up. He suffered from this physical pain for two years, but the psychological wound he suffered was so great that he could not even describe it. On top of this, he often worried about his son, who was imprisoned in Changle Forced Labour Camp and was suffering severe persecution. Mr. Li Hai passed away on January 24th, 2003.
