62-Year-Old Associate Professor Ms. Fu Huajing of Hebei Province Dies as a Result of Persecution

Sixty-two-year-old Ms. Fu Huajing was an associate professor at the Chemistry College of Hebei Normal University. She began practising Falun Dafa in 1996. During the eight years of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong, she informed people about the persecution of Falun Gong and dispelled the state propaganda attacking the practice under huge pressure. The intense pressure and brutal persecution destroyed her health. She passed away at 4:00 a.m. on January 4th, 2008.

Fu Huajing's husband, Mr. Liu Jiting, is also a Falun Gong practitioner. He was not able to see his wife before she died. Mr. Liu was a Falun Gong volunteer assistant. After the persecution began on July 20th, 1999, he was persecuted repeatedly as a so-called "important person." He was detained, tortured, and forced to write a guarantee statement to renounce Falun Gong. His home was searched and he was deprived of the right to work. In late 2000, he was sentenced to three years of forced labour because he distributed leaflets exposing the persecution of Falun Gong. In early March 2006, Duan Xinyue from the Security Division and officers from the Hongqi Avenue Police Station took Liu Jiting away when he was distributing leafletsin the west district of Hebei Normal University. He was sentenced to three and a half years of imprisonment, and he is currently detained in the Jidong Prison in Tangshan City.

Before practising Falun Dafa, Ms. Fu Huajing suffered from severe diabetes. She went everywhere for medical treatment, which became the top priority for the whole family. In 1996, she started practising Falun Gong at a friend's suggestion. Her health improved, and soon all of her illnesses disappeared. There were big changes in both her body and mind. Afterwards, she influenced and guided many people to practice Falun Dafa.

On July 20th, 1999, Jiang Zemin launched the suppression of Falun Gong because of his jealousy of the rapidly increasing popularity of the practice. During the past eight years, Falun Gong practitioners have been resisting the persecution peacefully. The CCP members at Ms. Fu's university, her neighbourhood committee and local police persecuted Fu Huajing repeatedly. They employed all kinds of means to threaten Fu Huajing.

At around the time the persecution began, Ms. Fu Huajing was detained in the university hotel for over 15 days. In late 2001, Chen Baolei, from CCP Party Security of the Chemistry Department, led people to take Fu Huajing to a brainwashing centre, i.e. so-called "Hebei Provincial Legal System Centre," where she was detained for three months. Soon after being released, Ms. Fu's old illnesses returned and she was hospitalized twice. One year later, she resumed practising Falun Dafa. Her symptoms soon disappeared, which further steadied her resolution to keep practising Falun Dafa. .

In 2006, Fu Huajing and her husband walked around the campus and her husband distributed several leaflets exposing the persecution. A guard reported them to chief of the security division, Duan Xinyue. The police then took them away, and her husband was sentenced to imprisonment.

Before the Chinese Communist Party's 17th Congress, Party secretary Huang Yongle led people to "visit" Ms. Fu Huajing's home. This "visit" was actually a way to harass and threaten her. Each "visit" put Fu Huajing under huge pressure, which made her very nervous and tired.

The persecution of Fu Huajing's husband was also a major source of stress. Especially after Liu Jiting was sentenced in 2006, their children were busy and there was no one to help take care of her.

Due to the CCP's harassment and persecution, Fu Huajing's health gradually deteriorated. When she was hospitalized for a month, her relatives kept contacting the Jidong Prison where her husband Liu Jiting is detained, but all of their requests were refused. Before she died, her family members begged the prison to allow Liu Jiting to see his wife's face one last time, but the prison did not allow it.
