Mr. Gan Xinju Forced to Flee His Home to Avoid Arrest and Cannot See His Newborn Daughter

On April 7th, 2007, Gan Xinjun's daughter was born, however he has not able to see her as he had to leave his family to avoid the persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners.

Gan Xinjun's home is in Jiawang District, Xuzhou City. Before he started practising Falun Dafa, Gan Xinjun drank, gambled, and was involved in street fights. He refused to work, and his lifestyle had brought him various illnesses. He became a practitioner toward the end of September 1998. Within two weeks of practice, the illnesses he had been suffering from for over a decade had all disappeared, including eye problems, hip problems, knee problems, testicle pain, prostate disease, and urinating problems. As he studied the Falun Dafa teachings more, he was able to improve himself by following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance and get rid of all of his bad habits. He had been a rotten person who was disliked by everyone, but he became respectable and well-liked and he continued improving himself. People who had known him were all surprised by his changes and amazed by the power of Dafa.

Since the persecution started on July 20th, 1999, Gan Xinjun has been arrested, beaten, detained, brainwashed, tortured, shocked with electric batons, and sent to a forced labour camp. Between December, 2002 and July, 2003, Gao Guihua, the former director of the Jiawang District 610 Office¹ and the Wangcun Forced Labour Camp in Zibo City, collaborated to arrest Gan Xinjun twice with the help of policeman Xu Xu and others from the Xiaqiao Police Station, and secretly sent him to the Wangcun Labour Camp in Zibo without informing his family. In the labour camp, Gan Xinjun underwent violent brainwashing sessions and was forced to watch videos defaming Falun Dafa and its founder. He was also forced to sit on a small stool for a long period of time (the stool was 25 centimetres long, 10 centimetres wide, and 25 centimetres high. Dafa practitioners were forced to sit on it from five o'clock in the morning until eleven o'clock in the evening with their hands on their laps and their backs straight, otherwise they would be beaten by wardens), shocked with electric batons, deprived of sleep, beaten brutally, forced to stand still for a long period of time, etc. Under the order of the Jiangsu Provincial 610 Office and the Xuzhou City 610 Office, Zhao Rujian, the director of Jiawang District 610 Office, and Xu Xu, a policeman from Xiaqiao Police Station, arrested Gan Xinjun on August 13th, 2004, and brought him to the brainwashing centre run by the Jiawang 610 Office on the campus of the Xuzhou Normal University, Jiawang Branch. Gan Xinjun was forced to stand still in the military manner, deprived of sleep, and was forbidden to leave his room, not even to use the toilet or wash up, for one month. His mental and physical health was severely damaged due to the torture.

Gan Xinjun's family was harassed by the police many times which caused his elderly parents to great distress. His parents couldn't understand why their son was being persecuted for practising Falun Gong, which had made him become a good person. During the years of persecution, Gan Xinjun was unable to find someone to marry. As he was close to 40, this was a big concern of his parents. A pretty girl was set up for him by a caring acquaintance when he was laid off of work by the Jiawang District Development Committee. The girl had great sympathy for Gan Xinjun after having understood the truth about the persecution, and was attracted to his personality and character. They got married on March 19th, 2006. Some people gossiped about the girl because she turned down a man who was a teacher and had more than a hundred thousand yuan² in savings and owned a house. Rather she married Gan Xinjun, who had no money, house or job. However, the girl was happy that she had found a good man who could be relied on. Good character is priceless.

On February 3rd, 2007, Gan Xinjun went to a friend's to offer help with the funeral of his friend's father. A spy followed him and reported him to the police. Gan Xinjun was able to escape from the police's trap.

When Gan Xinjun was forced to flee his home in order to avoid the brutal persecution, his wife had been pregnant for eight months already. He had been taking good care of his wife as she had difficulties of performing daily work due to the pregnancy. After seeing more evil deeds of the Chinese Communist Party, she became stronger for her husband and the unborn baby. When the police came to her home to harass the family, she criticised them with righteous words so the police couldn't say anything and left. Gan Xinjun's wife was in her 30's and it was her first pregnancy. It is usually considered to be high risk to give birth in her condition. On March 7th, the day she went into labour. A miracle happened: before she finished reciting, the baby was delivered and she didn't even feel it! It was so smooth! The people around her all witnessed the power of Dafa. The name the couple had chosen for the baby girl meant "purity", signifying that the baby would be as pure as a lotus growing in mud, but remaining clean and beautiful.
