Persecution in China

Shijiazhuang City Dafa Practitioner Mrs. Liu Xing Dies from Extreme Torture Suffered in Labour Camp
After she returned home, the police station and street office still kept close watch on her. Her work unit also stopped her salary and her husband's salary, causing great financial difficulty and mental pressure to the couple. On January 26, 2004, Liu Xing passed away. Her husband was also arrested and is suffering torments in Baoding First Prison in Hebei Province.
Mourning the Death of Practitioner Ms. Li Shuqin
During the frenzied police arrests I returned to Changchun City and was forced to rent a house. My husband was not happy with me and asked me to write the so-called three statements promising not to practise Falun Dafa. I firmly rejected his suggestion. Ms. Li Shuqin gave me all her support and encouragement. She also taught me how to help my husband to accept my practice of Falun Dafa, and gave me our Teacher's new articles. I was very much moved by this.
Five More Confirmed Deaths of Falun Gong Practitioners From Three Provinces in Northeastern China
The persecution of Falun Gong is most severe in these three provinces in northeastern China. According to statistics from the Clearwisdom website, among the 876 confirmed deaths, 346 were from northeastern provinces. This is more than one third of the total number of deaths. Among the 346 cases, 138 victims were from Helongjiang Province, 110 were from Jilin Province, and 98 were from Liaoning Province. Based on the fact that the information about Mr. Song Gang, Mr. Liu Ming, and Mr. Wang Xidong's deaths did not come to light until four years after the fact, it makes sense to conclude that the death toll from this persecution instigated by Jiang Zemin's regime far exceeds 876.
More Details about How Luohe City Dafa Practitioner Yao Sanzhong Was Tortured to Death
The prolonged mental and physical torture seriously damaged Yao Sanzhong's health. He was on the brink of death. The camp was afraid of the responsibilities they might have to face, so they processed Yao Sanzhong's bail for medical treatment in a hurry. Just several days before the bail was granted, Yao Sanzhong still had to force his extremely weak body to work until 2-3 a.m. with his numb and feeble hands.
The Persecution of Former University Student At The Tuanhe Labour Camp (Part I)
Due to the nationwide persecution of Falun Gong instigated by the Jiang Zemin regime, even Falun Gong practitioners in my hometown were also sent to labour camps. Their phones were being monitored. Everyone had to show his or her solidarity and conformance with the government. Practitioner's relatives were also implicated. My own relatives were in fear too, so they sent me to another relative's home in a remote village. However, even there the police were arresting practitioners. My relatives were constantly living in fright.
Practitioners' Forum

I Began My Practise of Falun Dafa During the Height of the Persecution
Not long after I had begun my genuine cultivation I had a dream. I saw a crowd of people watching a big ship slowly leaving the shore. A rope hung down from the stern of the ship, which was three or four stories high. I grabbed the rope tightly and strenuously climbed onto the ship, step by step along the ship's planks. When I woke up I understood that Master did not give up on me and I got on the "Fa ship," which further strengthened my courage and confidence in cultivation.
After Practising Dafa For A Month, The Humiliating Pain Has Gone
During my treatment period, I heard that practising Falun Gong could cure many diseases so I decided to try it. I acquired a copy of Zhuan Falun and formally started cultivating Falun Gong. After a couple of days I felt my health getting better. My legs felt so light and I did not feel tired no matter how far I walked. After a month, my humiliating pain was gone. And my other diseases such as stomach disease, arthritis, low blood sugar, and headaches have disappeared without needing any treatments.
