Ms. Liu Yuzhen, 78-years-old, is a Falun Gong practitioner from Lunan County, Linyi City, Shandong Province. In 2007, personnel with the Chengdong Police Station and the National Security Team in Lunan County fined her about 10,000 yuan1 and confiscated all of her Falun Gong books. A year later, she was again harassed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) police while they searched her home.
At 10 a.m. on April 25th, 2008, three CCP personnel stormed into Ms. Liu's home and began a thorough search. She told them how wonderful Falun Gong is and how it can improve physical health and fitness, but they refused to listen, saying, "It is said you made your living by making insoles. You just make a pair for me and embroider your Teacher's [Teacher Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong] picture on them."
The CCP personnel took away the only two Falun Gong books she had. And they also took two CDs exposing the persecution of Falun Gong and magazines.
When Liu Yuzhen was young, she made shoes and quilts and cooked for the army. She contracted many illnesses. After practising Falun Gong, all of her illnesses disappeared, which saved her and the country a great deal in medical expenses. She has nevertheless been repeatedly harassed.
