Ms. Jin Lianshun, an ethnic Korean, began practising Falun Gong in 1995, and her seizures disappeared. Her children were overjoyed to see that she was no longer depressed, she let go of her mental stress, and she never suffered from seizures anymore.

On August 19th, 2009, Ms. Jin saw that the weather was good, so she took a walk downstairs. She told her neighbours while chatting how her severe seizures had been cured. One of the neighbours reported her to the community administration. Soon after she returned home, a group of officers arrested her, and her home was ransacked. The police took all her Falun Gong books and her laptop. They interrogated her and detained her 15 days in the Yanji City Detention Centre.

Suddenly facing the terrifying environment, Ms. Jin was shocked. She would speak or shout while sleeping, which disturbed the inmates in the detention centre. The prisoners were afraid that she would die and urged guards to release her quickly, but the authorities refused. When she was released after 15 days of detention, she became very thin and weak. She could not get over the stress caused by this incident, and she died a few days later in September 2009.

Her children were all working overseas and called her for two days without receiving an answer. Her relatives got into the house and found that she had died a few days earlier. Her body was cremated on October 5th, 2009.
