By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Jiangxi Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Wan Liji died as a result of persecution, leaving behind
his four-year-old daughter, who is now being cared for by her maternal
grandmother. Wan Liji was his daughter's caregiver. Wan Lijin used to be a
member of the special police at the Nanchang Public Security Bureau and part of
the Donghu Police Squad. He was mentally and physically persecuted for five
years for practicing Falun Dafa. He passed away at 6:40 p.m. on February 9,
2004. His daughter's name is Wan Ruyi.

Wan Ruyi, Wan Liji's daughter, was born on December 31, 2000. Household registration address: #302, Unit 4, Building 5, No.236 Aiguolu Road,

Province Contact cellular phone number: 86-13027204351 Mr. Wan Liji, 34 years old at the time of his death, was a policeman with the
Donghu Squad at the Special Police Branch of the Nanchang Public Security
Bureau. He started to practice Falun Dafa in September 1997, which made him both
spiritually and physically healthy.

Wan Liji was illegally persecuted since July 20, 1999. His work unit did not
allow him to work, to go home, or to visit his mother, who was imprisoned in a
forced labor camp. Occasionally, when he did get home for a couple of days, at
least two people were assigned to monitor his activities. He was totally
deprived of personal freedom. Since he never agreed to give up practicing Falun
Dafa, he was dismissed from his job in November 2000. After a year of harassment
by his work unit, Wan Liji became very weak, and his weight fell from 170 jin
(187 lb) to 90 jin (99 lb). In December 2000, Wan Liji went to Beijing to explain the truth about Falun Dafa
to the authorities. Police from the Dayuan Police Substation in Nanchang City
arrested him and sent him to a detention center, where he was beaten.
Eventually, he became so weakened by the mistreatment that he could no longer
eat and vomited whenever he ingested anything. He suffered from a constant
stomachache and could no longer stand up straight. His family members asked for his release many times, but the authorities replied
with a threatening tone, "If he does not 'transform' (i.e., give up his Falun
Gong practice), he will not be released even after he dies." Under those
conditions, Wan Liji was detained and tortured for over half a year. In the
meantime, his wife and five-month-old baby did not have any means of support.

In May 2001, he finally returned home. Although he was very weak, Wan Liji
had to look for a job. During the next three years he tried his hand at
everything: newspaper deliveryman, heavy labor construction work, restaurant
work, and security guard. Since the "610 Office" and other institutions never
ceased to torment him, he was harassed every few days. The police called him
even at midnight. Wherever he found a job, the police followed him and forced
his employers to fire him. The police also confiscated his household
registration permit and his citizenship ID card. The "610 Office" staff deprived him of his most basic human rights. During 2002
and 2003, they sent him for detention or brainwashing classes three times, where
he was tortured intensively. For nearly five years Wan Liji lived in an
environment that tortured his body and mind. He left this world on February 9,
2004, leaving his then three-year-old daughter behind. On the second day
following his death, his nose was found to be bleeding, a condition that
continued until his body was cremated.
