She was kind and talented, especially in music composition. Because she cultivated Falun Dafa, Zhang Xiaotong suffered severe persecution for a long time. She died at age 46, at 6 p.m. on March 10, 2005 in the Hainan People's Hospital. Zhang Xiaotong's husband Song Yuesheng is a sculptor, and he also teaches at the Hainan Provincial Art School.

  • I Can't Remain Silent - My Conscience Won't Allow It

    Recently, CCTV broadcast a programme that stated there was no persecution or torturing of Falun Gong practitioners in China, and no slandering of Falun Dafa. The CCP is still attempting to turn black into white and trying to cover up its crimes. After the central government gave orders to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners, various prisons and labour camps started a massive and organised inhumane persecution against Dafa practitioners. Now that these crimes have been exposed, they are trying to cover them up. They label the truthful reports of their criminal acts as lies. This completely exposes their shameless perverseness.
  • Lost Memory and a Broken Arm Due to Torture - A Falun Dafa Practitioner Retells Her Story

    "I did not violate the law. Just because I firmly believe in "Truth, Compassion, and Forbearance," and refuse to give up practising Falun Dafa, they tortured me in a detention centre until I was disabled, making me so thin and weak. They did not allow my family to visit me during the first month. I went on hunger strike; then they force-fed me. They used four to five young men to hold down my legs, arms, and head, and they pinched my nose while they poured milk, which was saturated with salt, down my throat. They never cared whether my life was in danger or not."

  • Germany Calls for Concern over a Young Couple Harassed by the Chinese National Security Bureau

    The young couple, Jiang and Guo, lived overseas for several years and they fully enjoyed the freedom and the goodness of cultivating Falun Gong. However, as soon as they returned to China, they lost all of their basic human rights. Like tens of millions of Falun Gong practitioners and their family members, the couple’s friends and relatives are intimidated and suppressed by the Chinese communist regime. We would like to call on the international society and the extensive kind-hearted people around the world to be concerned about this couple’s situation and put an end to this persecution once and for all so as to help all Falun Gong practitioners regain their freedom.

    "In the afternoon of January 30, 2002, police forcibly took me from my work place to the local public security bureau without any excuse or legal procedures. They dragged me to the fourth floor and cuffed both my hands to an iron chair. They then stripped off my clothes, leaving me in only my underwear. They shocked my breasts with electric batons.

This policeman threw away the baton, grabbed a one-inch thick iron bar, and beat my legs and hips to the point that my legs were covered with bruises and stains. They tortured me for about two hours."

    "I was dismissed from my position as a public official and unlawfully arrested and threatened many times, because I wanted to become a good person. I fainted four times from police beatings, was charged with phony crimes, secretly sentenced to over eight years in prison, and had 20,000 yuan illegally seized from me. I was devastated by the brutal treatment while in prison and developed cirrhosis of the liver. They sent me home when I became critically ill. The persecution has robbed me of everything.
