Mr. Sun Futao was in his 20s. On December 24, 2001, he was transferred from Changbai City to Group Four, Division One of the Chaoyanggou Labour Camp in Changchun City. About three days later, guard Gao Zhilu, the person most notorious for persecuting Falun Gong at this camp, inspected the practitioners in Group Four. Mr. Sun Futao shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" Under Gao Zhilu's orders, inmates Xu Hui and others brutally beat Sun Futao. One side of Mr. Sun's neck swelled up badly as a result of the beating. This swelling never went away and was still visible at the time of Sun's death. During the 2003 Chinese New Year, Sun Futao was tortured to death at this Chaoyanggou Labour Camp.
