Kind Elementary School Teacher is Falsely Accused of Having Mental Illness and Brutally Persecuted

2006-01-16After the Chinese New Year, a new official came to my prison team.

We found that once you give up the practice, it is as if your spirit is destroyed. Therefore, some kind police officers on our team do not want to 'transform' you.
