Mr. Fang Xicai, a 39-year-old Falun Gong practitioner from Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province has been persecuted in prison for nine years. During this time, overcome by grief and indignation, his father passed away and his wife divorced him. Mr. Fang was sentenced to fifteen years of imprisonment by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) merely because he practises Falun Gong and told people about the facts of Falun Gong. He is still being held in Mudanjiang Prison.
Mr. Fang used to be a chef and lived in Jieli, Hengshan District, Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province. He used to have bad temper and often fought with his wife. However, after he started practising Falun Gong, he changed significantly both physically and mentally. He became healthy and his family lived in harmony.
However, in 1999, the CCP launched the persecution of Falun Gong. Mr. Fang was brutally tortured, beaten and shot at due to his firm belief in Falun Gong. Here are details about the persecution experienced by Mr. Fang:
Mr. Fang went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in November 1999. He was brought back from Beijing by Zuo Shuqing, a police officer from Liumaokuang Police Station, Hengshan District, Jixi City. He was detained for over 40 days at Hengshan Detention Centre.
Mr. Fang and another practitioner Gong Hailian went to distribute Falun Gong materials in Shikeng, Hengshan District and were reported by Li Guizhen. When the police were chasing after Mr. Fang, they even shot at him, but fortunately, they missed him.
When Mr. Fang was arrested by police from Jixi City, they removed all his clothes and hung him up. They brutally beat him the entire night. When he passed out from the beating, the police poured cold water over him to wake him up. He was covered with bruises, even his fingers were injured. After Mr. Fang walked out of this police station. it took a long time for him to recover from the wounds.
While Mr. Fang was travelling away from home to avoid further persecution, the police harassed and threatened his parents multiple times. They even tried to arrest his brother to hold him as a hostage. Due to the persecution, Mr. Fang's mother became ill. His father was distraught. His ninety-year-old grandfather was filled with grief and indignation, “The CCP persecutes kind people like my grandson. This government really is finished.”
While Mr. Fang and other practitioners were distributing Falun Gong materials in January 2002 he was once again arrested by police. He was interrogated and tortured. In the summer of 2002, he was sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment by the Jixi City Court, and detained at Mudanjiang Prison.
Mr. Fang's father went to visit him in August 2004. This turned out to be the last time father and son saw each other. Soon afterward, Mr. Fang's 61-year-old father passed away.
In 2010 Mr. Fang's wife went to the prison to process the divorce paperwork with him.
The persecution ruined Mr. Fang's family. Mr. Fang is currently still being persecuted in prison.
