Mr. Chen Juwen was a 67-year-old retired math teacher who lived in Dongxi
Town, Jianyang City, Sichuan Province. He had been a teacher for more than 30
years at the Xinhe Center School in Jianyang City. He started practicing Falun
Gong in March 1998. Only several days into his practice, his middle finger on
his right hand, which had been disabled for 18 years, became normal and his
illnesses all went away.
After July 20, 1999, he went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. As a
result, he was illegally detained for 15 days and was fined 5,900 Yuan RMB. In
the end of 1999, the local "610 Office"* deceived him into going to the
community office and then illegally detained him. Starting January 2000, his
work unit stopped his pension.
Chen Juwen's wife is also a practitioner. On July 25, 1999, she was sentenced
to 1.5 years of labor education. Her work unit also stopped her pension.
One night in 2001, police from the local "610 Office" broke into Chen Juwen's
home, pushed him on the ground, and grabbed the picture of Mr. Li Hongzhi
(founder of Falun Gong), which Mr. Chen kept at home. They then put him under
watch 24 hours a day. They also frequently called his home to harass him. In
order to avoid persecution, Mr. Chen managed to leave home and had to wander
around. Despite the harsh condition, he still kept cultivating and clarifying
the truth to people he met.
Due to the long-term persecution, Chen Juwen passed away on December 29,
2001.
