Practitioner Ms. Song Guide, in her 70s, is a good-hearted country woman. She began practising Falun Dafa in 1997. Her life had new meaning and she became filled with hope. She cherished Dafa like all other practitioners.
In July 1999, former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin started the persecution against Falun Dafa, and Ms. Song went to Beijing to appeal. She was twice unlawfully imprisoned and subjected to brainwashing. Her daughter, who was disabled, was forced twice to leave home and live in a mental hospital. Ms. Song's daughter died and her body was not found until three days after her death.
Ms. Song's husband died in 1998. Her sons moved out of the family home and started their own families. Her daughter, Ms. Gong Taiqin was 22 and her legs were disabled. She also had a slight mental disorder and couldn't take much stress. Ms. Song took care of her daughter and they had to live on only a little income. On January 2001, after Ms. Song returned from Beijing, Ao Benqing, an official from the township government, detained Ms. Song for three months in the Zhangba Brainwashing Centre. Ms. Song told Ao that her daughter was disabled and suffered from a mental illness and no one was at home to take care of her. Ao claimed that the government would pay 10 yuan1 a day for someone to take care of Gong Taiqin. According to a villager, once Ms. Gong stood in the rain for a long time just waiting for Ms. Song to return home. Ms. Gong had nothing to eat and no one took care of her. She tried to leave home to look for her mother. Someone saw her leaving home and took her to a nursing home. Ms. Gong believed the township government that her mother would come home in a couple of days. However, her mother didn't return for a long time. Ms. Gong was very distressed and suffered from severe anxiety. She stopped eating and drinking and cried for her mother. The township police then handcuffed Ms. Gong to a bed. She struggled in anger and screamed at all times.
One day, with many people escorting her, Ms. Song went to see her daughter in the nursing home and put a pair of new shoes on her. Ms. Song found that her daughter's feet were swollen, that she was handcuffed to a wood rod, and was injured everywhere from being beaten. About 15 minutes later, the township government, 610 Office2, and police tried to take Ms. Song away. Ms. Gong grabbed her mother and cried, wanting to go with her. The two were separated by force. A policeman pushed Ms. Gong to the ground and slapped her.
Ms. Gong left the nursing home, but had no money to support herself. She sold her hair for 30 yuan. She looked for her mother. One day she got to Qiancao Town and fell down due to exhaustion. A few kind ladies found out that she was looking for her mother and hired a tricycle to take her to her mother. Ms. Song saw her daughter at the brainwashing centre. She was shocked to see her leaning on a stick looking so filthy and smelling awful. Ms. Song felt so angry and sad. The brainwashing centre informed the 610 Office. The 610 Office ordered the township government to have the police take Ms. Gong away. A practitioner tried to give Ms. Gong 50 yuan, but the police stopped it. Gong was pulled away from her mother and left. She had no money.
Three months later, Ms. Song went home. She didn't see her daughter but her house was in disarray, as the police had ransacked it. The next day, Ms. Song learned the Qiancao police took Ms. Gong to the village secretary Yang Mingzhen's house. She went to pick her up. That evening it rained very hard and thundered. Ms. Song asked Yang if they could stay for a night. Yang yelled at them and told them to get lost. Ms. Song then asked to stay outside of Yang's house under the cover for a night, but Yang refused. Ms. Song and Gong had to walk home in the rain. In the pouring rain, Gong couldn't walk with her stick. She had to climb in the muddy cold field. It took them the entire night to walk the three miles to get home.
Three days after they were reunited, the township police arrested Ms. Song again at her home. Ms. Gong couldn't see her mother and ran out after them. Ms. Song had her picture taken at the police station and rushed home. She missed her daughter on her way home. Ms. Gong didn't go home because she thought her mother wasn't coming home like last time and so she kept looking for her.
Ms. Song didn't find her daughter at home. She had her daughter's clothes with her whenever she went out to sell vegetables and sugar cane to make a living. A month later, she found Ms. Gong lying in a field a mile away from their home. She was emaciated, pale and had severe diarrhoea. Ms. Gong's mental state turned worse and she had to be treated in a mental hospital.
On October 15th, 2001, to make a living, so she could take better care of her daughter, Ms. Song took her still sick daughter to Lantian Town to do some business. Ms. Song settled her daughter in Lantian Town and went home to get some clothes. On her way back to Lantian, the village secretary Yang Mingzhen stopped her. Yang told her to come to the township government and that he would take her back to Lantian Town later. Ms. Song was taken to the Qiancao Brainwashing Centre and imprisoned. The head of the 610 Office Wang Xu told Ms. Song that she hadn't "asked for permission to take a leave." Ms. Song had no idea why she had to "ask to take a leave" and whom she had to ask for permission.
Ms. Song was very anxious in the brainwashing centre because she couldn't get in touch with her daughter and worried about her. Ms. Song many times told the head of the brainwashing centre, Wang Yongzhen, that her daughter was sick and had just been released from the mental hospital. She explained that her daughter needed to take her medication on time and couldn't take any more pressure. Ms. Song told Wang that her daughter was new to Lantian Town and there wasn't anyone to take care of her and feed her. Wang lied to Ms. Song that "the government knows to take care of your daughter," "You daughter is well taken care of and that's why she isn't coming to find you." In fact, the government didn't send anyone to take care of Ms. Gong. None of Ms. Song's sons were informed about what happened to the two. Ms. Gong couldn't find her mother and was in extreme terror and distress. She couldn't stop crying and kept on muttering, "My mother doesn't want me anymore. My mother doesn't want me anymore..." Ms. Gong struggled in desperation and pain for nine days and refused to eat. Finally, she died.
Before her death, a villager found Ms. Gong's life was in danger and spent a great deal of effort to find Ms. Song. The villager called the Qiancao Brainwashing Centre and informed them that it was urgent for Ms. Song to see her daughter immediately. Wang Yongzhen and Sun (first name unknown) received the call but did nothing to save Ms. Gong's life. They didn't inform Ms. Song nor her sons about Ms. Gong's situation. Ms. Gong lost her life and no one knew she died until three days later.
After Ms. Gong's death, the 610 Office and the Qiancao Brainwashing Centre didn't tell Ms. Song about it. Wang Xu, head of the 610 Office, told Ms. Song that after she was released from the brainwashing centre that the government would give them a house and 100 yuan a month and a bed. Meanwhile, the township government and the 610 Office tried to coerce Ms. Song's other family members to sign a release so they could cremate Ms. Gong's body. They even asked Ms. Song's son and daughter-in-law to tell Ms. Song that her daughter "died of a drug overdose after emergency rescue and had seen her brother and sister-in-law before death." Ms. Song's son and daughter-in-law refused to cooperate. The township government found one of Ms. Song's relatives to tell Ms. Song this lie in front of other villagers.
On May 11th, 2004, the Supreme People's Procuratorate announced that it would investigate and prosecute those who abused their job authority and violated human rights. The "activity" would last a year. Ms. Song wrote her story and gave it to the Procuratorate. The township government and 610 Office falsified evidence and colluded with one another, claiming that they had informed Ms. Song's sons about Ms. Gong's situation.
Ao Benqing, head of the township government, told Ms. Song's son and daughter-in-law that if Ms. Song agreed to write a statement renouncing Falun Gong, everything would be all right and the government would admit to making a mistake. If Ms. Song refused to write the statement, that meant the government didn't make a mistake by torturing Ms. Song. Falun Gong practitioners have no human rights in the City of Luzhou in Sichuan Province. None of the practitioners' cases were taken care of and none of the criminals who tortured the practitioners were punished. The Supreme People's Procuratorate's announcement to "investigate and prosecute human right violations" on May 11th, 2004, was nothing but another Chinese Communist Party (CCP) trick to deceive the nation and the international community.
