• Remembering Falun Gong Practitioner Wang Zhande

  2004-04-27
  "I was shocked and very sad when I heard the news that Mr. Wang Zhande, a Falun Gong practitioner from Chongqing City, had died from persecution. I would like to share some stories about him.

He started practising Falun Dafa prior to 1996. In the summer of 2000, he went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. As a result, he was arrested and imprisoned in a Chongqing City Detention Centre for a long period.

The pressure of being homeless and avoiding being unlawfully arrested by police, and worry over her son's miserable condition at the labour camp took a harsh toll on Ms. Yang. She was diagnosed with cancer and died in the hospital at the beginning of 2004. Due to Jiang's brutal persecution, another kind citizen in pursuit of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" has passed away, unjustly suffering mental and physical anguish in the process.
