(Clearwisdom.net) 69-year-old Zeng Lingwen is a retired professor from the Physics Department of Jilin University. Because she persisted in cultivating Dafa, she was abducted from home on Feb 9, 2002 [the date provided by Zeng Lingwen''s daughter in Canada] and sent to a brainwashing class, where she was tortured and forced to give up her practice. With her righteous faith in Dafa, she was not moved at all. Authorities sent her to Changchun Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp for two years'' forced labor.

Initially, the guards sent some former practitioners who had gone astray to take turns to "re-educate" her, but all of their efforts were in vain. They then put her under intensive surveillance. The elderly professor is always kind to others, treating everyone like a loving mother. Guard Wang Lihui did not allow her to speak to anyone, and locked her in the cell to be watched by a specifically designated person. She was not allowed to contact anyone, and her family members were not allowed to have meals with her. Personal items sent by her family members were sometimes not allowed to be given to her. She was even deprived of her right to meet her family members.

In October 2003, Professor ''Zeng was reported to the guards because she was reading Teacher''s articles. Holding the articles in her hand in front of the team of more than 30 people in the hall, guard Wang Lihui demanded to know where she got them. The professor was not afraid and answered loudly, "They''re'' mine. Give them back to me!" Wang Lihui was outraged. She took hold of Zeng''s clothes on the chest and dragged her along the hallway into the guards'' office, cursing her along the way. Wang Lihui personally searched all of the professor''s stuff, and threw away some of her necessities. Since then, they forced the professor to be the first to get up every morning at 4 a.m. One person was in charge of watching her. She is not allowed to speak with anyone. In the evening, she is forced to stay later than 10 p.m., and is not allowed to go downstairs to have meals. She is locked in a small cell day and night. Her hands were broken and there is a large bruise on her lower leg. The guards use "term-reduction" and "promotion" to incite some people to persecute Dafa practitioners.

Professor Zeng is a very knowledgeable and self-restrained person who is highly respected by others. All people who met with her share the same feeling because she firmly believes in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" and even under such harsh conditions, she still tries her best to treat others kindly. Unfortunately, she suffers such physical and mental torture because of her steadfastness in her belief. It is obvious who is righteous and who is evil, who is right and who is wrong.
