Anguished at Son's Incarceration, Elderly Practitioner Couple from Shandong Province Passed Away
2005-04-01
A family plagued by persecution by the authorities, caused intolerable heartache, destitution and death.

One son was incarcerated in a labour camp, yet his distraught parents did not know of his whereabouts until a year later. Both elderly parents could not bear the mental anguish and passed away within a year of each other. -
