Practitioner Ms. Yao Guihua from Zibo, Shandong Province Arrested

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Yao Guihua is 42 years old. She lives in Xiadian Village, Lingzi Town, Zichuan District in Zibo City. In September of 2006, she was arrested by the Cicun Township police while she was explaining the facts about Falun Dafa and distributing literature. At present, she is still imprisoned in the Zibo City Detention Centre.

Yao owns a hairdresser's. Before she practised Falun Gong, she had a lot of illnesses. Her legs and feet would swell up after being on her feet after even a short period of time. They would hurt badly, and she could not put on her shoes. Soon after practising Falun Gong in 1998, all of her illnesses went away, and she felt very light. In addition, Falun Dafa changed her into a very good person. She is always the first in her family to pay for her parents' living expenses, hospital expenses, and medical costs. She never argues with family members and always does her best to help out her parents. Her family members and neighbours all speak very highly of her. She charges the lowest prices in the area, and for the elderly and disabled, she charges only a nominal fee.

One winter day, she went to cut hair for some elderly people in both her own village and Lingzi Village. Some of these elderly people had been bedridden for a long time and were in difficult hygienic situations. She held them up to help them wash their faces, helped to shave them, and then cut their hair. She said, "It is because I practise Falun Gong that I do this. I have changed from being a selfish person to one that thinks of others first. I follow Falun Dafa's teachings, and when conflicts occur, I try to search inside myself. I always try to think of other people first."

She is a well respected and well liked member of the community, and she just wants her fellow villagers to know, "Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are good!" On September 3rd, 2006, Ms. Yao was arrested by the Cicun police and is currently detained at the Zibo City Detention Centre. She has been subjected to severe physical and mental abuse for over four months. She has a daughter and a six-year-old son. Her children are now staying with her parents-in-law.

The Chinese New Year is coming, and her family and fellow villagers are awaiting her return. However, she has just been given a prison sentence.
