Heilongjiang Province Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Wang Fengxia Imprisoned

Ms. Wang Fengxia, 49 years old, is a Falun Gong practitioner from the Henshan region in Jixi City, Heilongjiang province. On January 24th, 2010, she was arrested by five police officers from the Hengshan National Security team. Her home was ransacked. Her computer, a copy of the Falun Gong book Zhuan Falun, DVD player, and other items were confiscated. She is now imprisoned in the Jixi Detention Centre.

Before she practised Falun Gong, Ms. Wang had all kinds of health problems. She had a tumour in her stomach, and her doctor said that she needed surgery to have it removed. Due to financial difficulties, she did not have the surgery. In addition, she also had severe cardiovascular problems. If there was any noise in the background, she was not be able to fall asleep, her hands shook, and she could not hold things in her hands. After practising Falun Gong, she completely recovered.

After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution of Falun Gong, Ms. Wang's husband started to beat her and did not allow her to continue with her cultivation practice. Although she was beaten until she was bleeding, she refused to give up her faith. Her husband eventually abandoned her and their daughter and now lives with another woman. Despite this, Ms. Wang still helps her mother-in-law by working in their field to plant and harvest crops, helping with the cooking, and taking care of her mother-in-law when she was sick. During holidays, Ms. Wang would buy gifts and go to visit her mother-in-law with her daughter. Ms. Wang has been living as a single mother for five years. She has to find temporary jobs everywhere to make money and raise her daughter.
