The Difficult Life of a 14 Year Old Boy Whose Mother, Gao Xiufeng, Was Killed by Force-Feeding

(Clearwisdom.net)

Gao Xiufeng, also known as Gao Feng, was a Falun Dafa practitioner who lived in Xingsheng Township in Wuchang City, Heilongjiang Province. A force-feeding tube inserted into her lung caused her death on May 19, 2001. Gao Xiufeng's son Wu Tienan is 14 years old.

Wu Tienan lives in Xingsheng Township of Wuchang City, Heilongjiang Province, with his father Wu Zhiqiang, a farmer. Currently he is studying in Class #4 of Grade I at Xingsheng Middle School. Li Changzhi is the teacher in charge of his class, and Qin Yongxue is the school principal.

After three months of life on-the-run to avoid persecution as a practitioner of Falun Dafa, Gao Xiufeng returned home on May 9, 2001, to help out on the family farm. On May 12 Zhan Zhigang, Assistant Chief of the Political and Security Section of Wuchang City Public Security Bureau (PSB), arrested and illegally detained her in the administrative jail of Wuchang City. She went on a hunger strike to protest her illegal detention and subsequently was force-fed. A week later on May 19 she was again force-fed in the People's Hospital of Wuchang City. A feeding tube was inserted improperly, penetrating her lung and resulting in her death.

The officials at the crematorium tried to cremate Gao Xiufeng's body before family members, who wanted an autopsy performed, would agree to sign the official death certificate. The Deputy Chief of Wuchang City PSB, Chen Shusen, yelled at them, "Even if you don't sign, we will still cremate the body. Such things happen all the time nationally." Then he ordered the cremation of Gao Xiufeng's corpse and instructed about six agents to immediately arrest practitioner Sun Qiang and take him to the Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp. After the cremation, Chen Shusen tried to bribe Gao Xiufeng's husband, saying, "If you say that your wife died while practicing Falun Gong, we will give you 60,000 yuan." Their ploy did not work because her husband would not betray his conscience.
