Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Zhou Hongbo and his wife Ms. Wang Fujuan are owners of a family-run kindergarten centre in Hujitumo Town, Taikang County, Daqing City. They treat children with patience and responsibility, and the children's academic scores have greatly improved after they attended the couple's school. Parents are eager to send their kids to their centre. Such highly regarded teachers have been persecuted many times by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for their belief in Falun Gong. The couple has recently been detained again.
After Mr. Zhou Hongbo was released from a brainwashing centre last year, he has repeatedly been harassed. The perpetrators are officials from the Taikang County 610 Office, the Hujitumo Town Judicial Bureau, the County's Education Bureau and the Town's Central Elementary School.
On the afternoon of June 27th, 2012, four people including Taikang County Education Bureau deputy head Wu Quanrong and Hujitumo Town Central Elementary School principal Chen Baozhu came to Mr. Zhou's home. They notified Mr. Zhou that his kindergarten centre must be closed within three days, otherwise, the police would remove all the desks, chairs, beds, tools and equipment. They also said that the political and legal committee officials issued the order.
On the afternoon of July 2nd, the town's Central Elementary School principal Chen Baozhu, and deputy principals Yao Jixiang and Han Junfeng went to the couple's home twice, claiming that if they did not close the kindergarten centre, the county officials would come the next day. They said the county's Political and Legal Committee heads Zhao Guoqing and Cao Guohui gave this order.
On July 3rd, around 7:30 a.m., the county's Education Bureau officials Wu Quanrong and Chang Quan, and the town's Central Elementary School principals Chen Baozhu, Han Junfeng and Yao Jixiang came and stood at the entrance to the kindergarten centre. They stopped the parents and told them to take their kids home. They also threatened the parents and said, “Do you know who Ms. Wang is?” Some parents reasoned with them, “Ms. Wang teaches well, and we trust her. She takes good care of our kids.” Wu Quanrong had nothing to say, but turned to Mr. Zhou and his wife Ms. Wang, telling them to send the children away, otherwise, the county's political and legal committee officials would come and remove all their chairs, desks and other equipment, and arrest them. The officials stood there until 10:00 a.m., finally the parents had to take their kids home, but they told Ms. Wang that they would resume sending their kids to the centre whenever it opens.
On July 4th, the town's Central Elementary School principals, Chen, Han and Yao came to the kindergarten centre and said that their superior told them to come daily to check if the kindergarten centre had continued receiving kids.
On the afternoon of July 6th, Mr. Zhou and his wife left home. Deng Junsheng from the town's police station came to Mr. Zhou's home around 7:00 p.m. and stayed until 9:00 p.m.
Around 6:00 p.m. on July 7th, Mr. Zhou and his wife encountered Yang Shuangjun from the town's Judicial Bureau when they were heading home from the Daqing Train Station. The couple then went missing.
Around 9:00 p.m. that same day, the town's deputy Party head Liang Feng and the county's 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) agent, Zhao Yanbo, searched Mr. Zhou's home, and took away a computer, a printer, a mobile phone and the mobile phones of Mr. Zhou's daughter and mother-in-law.
On July 9th, local police sent two detention warrants to Mr. Zhou's home, claiming Ms. Wang Fujuan was sent to the Daqing No. 1 Detention Centre and that Mr. Zhou Hongbo was in the Taikang Detention Centre.
Mr. Zhou's high school age daughter and his 71-year-old mother-in-law are left alone at home.
