2004-01-06While in the hospital, the captain of my unit, Li Jirong, was transferred out and another woman named Li took his place.

Even after you return back to Japan, we can still extradite you back to China." She also made other threatening remarks. Without the help of the Japanese government and overseas Falun Gong practitioners, I don't know what might have happened to me.
