Falun Dafa practitioner Guo Yuzhen of Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province died on May the 4th 2004. She suffered long-term persecution for upholding her beliefs. Here are the details:

Ms. Guo Yuzhen, 47 years old, was a Daqing City's Huaneng Xinhua Power Company Limited retiree and a Falun Gong practitioner.

On May the 27th 2002, police followed her while she was on her way to get Falun Dafa materials. She was abducted, her home was searched and she was sent to the Daqing City Detention Centre the same day. After 40 days of illegal detention, she was sentenced to two years of forced labour and sent to the Harbin City Drug Rehabilitation Centre, but due to poor health was sent home on probation.

Guo Yuzhen's employer stopped her retirement pension and forced her husband to stay at home to "reform" her. His pay was converted to "redundancy" pay, and he was threatened with permanent redundancy. Under this tremendous pressure, Guo's husband tried to force her to stop cultivation and prohibited her from practising the Falun Gong exercises. He would torment her and force her to write a "Regret Statement" if he spotted her studying the teachings of Falun Gong or practising the exercises.

Suffering from this physical and mental abuse and mistreatment, Guo Yuzhen's health deteriorated quickly. On September the 6th 2002, she was sent to a hospital due to a brain hemorrhage. In 2003, her employer escalated the persecution by taking away her benefits and came to her home to harass her. On May the 4th 2004, not being able to tolerate the long-term persecution any longer, Guo Yuzhen died in her home.
