  • Wang Bo Recounts How the CCP Deceived, Brainwashed, and Used Her, Part II

    "In early 2001, at Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp, we practitioners did the Falun Gong exercises as a group. The guards thought that I had organised the activity. They didn't treat me the same way they did other practitioners. The others were subjected to physical and verbal abuse, and handcuffed at will. They faked kindness towards me. This form of persecution is quite shameless, because while they lull you into trusting them, they persecute you. You are unaware of their true intention, and eventually they'll put you in a position where you feel better off dead than alive."

  • Wang Bo Recounts How the CCP Deceived, Brainwashed, and Used Her, Part 1 (Photo)

    "I now realise how sinister they were to have fooled me with smiles on their faces. If they had treated me harshly, I could have remained clearheaded. But whenever they approached me, they always kept a beaming smile, yet the tricks they used were the most wicked. Invariably, they do everything they can to find out your concerns. When they see that you are concerned about your father, they try to achieve their evil goal by taking advantage of that sensitive point..."
