Couple from Qinhuangdao City Suffer Severe Persecution -- The Experience Leaves Their Young Child Traumatized
(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Dong Junming, a Falun Dafa practitioner in
Qinhuangdao City, Hebei province, is a staff member in the Beishan branch of
Hebei Teachers' University of Science & Technology [abbreviated as the
University in the following text]. Formerly, the University was Qinhuangdao
Vocational Management School of the Coal Industry. Mr. Dong was a retired army
officer. He began practicing Falun Dafa in 1998 and found that the practice
improved both his mind and body. In August 2000, Mr. Dong went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa, hoping to
tell the government that Falun Dafa teaches people to be good. He was arrested
and sent to the Second Detention Center in Qinhuangdao City. He was imprisoned
for nearly a month. In October 2000, Mr. Dong went to Beijing again. In Tiananmen Square, he saw
several young men beating a lady whose face was covered with blood. He shouted,
"Stop beating that lady!" Several spectators joined in and shouted,
"Stop beating that lady!" Mr. Dong then shouted, "Falun Dafa is
good!" Several plain-clothes policemen assaulted him and dragged him to a
police car. The local police station took him back, and he was illegally
detained again in the Second Detention Center in Qinhuangdao City for a month. One day in June 2001, Mr. Wei, a former political instructor [1] from the
Second Detention Center in Qinhuangdao City, and his colleague went to Mr. Dong
Junming's workplace. They said that they wanted to find out more about his
situation in the detention center. Mr. Dong honestly answered their questions
about what went on in the detention center. After hearing Mr. Dong's account,
they attacked him, punching him more than twenty times. Mr. Dong's face was
swollen and he bled profusely from the mouth. In early July of 2001, the leaders in Mr. Dong Junming's workplace summoned
him to a meeting, but Mr. Dong knew that the police were waiting to arrest him,
so he was forced to leave his home. A few days later, he was discovered and
arrested by the Beidaihe branch office of the Qinhuangdao City Police Station.
The policemen and Mr. Zhou Lianguo, former Section Chief of the Political
Security Section of the 2nd Division of Qinhuangdao Police Station,
led two teams and ransacked Mr. Dong's home in Qinhuangdao City and his
temporary dormitory in the Beishan Branch at the University. They searched and
ransacked his dormitory without anyone from his family present, which is an
illegal act. Lv Guangxin of the Security Department in the University signed the
confiscation list in Mr. Dong's place. Many things were taken. The police sent
Mr. Dong to the Qinhuangdao City Police Station, where they beat him and
"tied the ropes" [2] on him three times. Mr. Dong's arms were numb and
not fully functional for about one year after the torture. In the spring of 2002, the leaders in Mr. Dong's work place came to him
again, trying to force him to give up his practice of Falun Dafa. He was not
allowed to go home on weekends, and the University helped the local "610
Offices" [3] by getting some former practitioners who turned against Dafa
to try and brainwash Mr. Dong. They tried in vain for a few days, and then
locked Mr. Dong in a guest room at a hotel in Baitaling, Qinhuangdao City to
continue the torture. Mr. Dong was not released until several days later. In the summer of 2002, the University leaders came after Mr. Dong again,
trying to force him to give up practicing Falun Dafa. Mr. Dong had no choice but
to leave his home to avoid further persecution. In June 2003, the 610 Offices in Qinhuangdao City and the Police Stations in
Shanhaiguan of Qinhuangdao City arranged a large-scale arrest of Falun Gong
practitioners. Mr. Dong Junming was arrested again and sent to the notorious
Tanshan Hehuakeng Labor Camp in Tanshan City, Hebei Province. At the end of
March 2004, Mr. Dong was bailed out for medical treatment due to his poor
condition. Mr. Dong Junming's wife, Ms. Wang Shumei, is also a Falun Dafa practitioner.
She was staying at home to take care of their young child. When her husband left
home to avoid arrest in 2002, the University leaders appointed a guard in the
Security Department to stake out Mr. Dong's home. One morning in late September
of 2002, Ms. Wang was pushing her bicycle with her child on it to go out when
the guard from the Security Department of the University detained her. After a
while, a white car came and a policeman from the 1st division of the
City Police Station, representing the Qinhuangdao 610 Office, got out of the
car. He ordered Ms. Wang to send her 3-year old child to her parents-in-law's
home in a village in Tanshan City because he planned to send Ms. Wang to Changli
Brainwashing Center for two weeks during the "16th Meeting of
the People's Congress". Ms. Wang went back home to store her bicycle. She went to her bedroom and
locked the door. She told the guard, "I'm not going anywhere today. My
child is too young to be separated from me. You have been harassing me since my
husband left home..." The standoff lasted for about half an hour, until the
policemen kicked down the door and swarmed into her home. Wang Xianzeng, head of
the 1st division of the police station grabbed hold of Ms. Wang's
hair and verbally abused her. The police snatched the frightened child from her
and handcuffed her from behind. They dragged her to the living room and stuffed
a towel in her mouth to silence her. Ms. Wang spit the towel out and Wang
Xianzeng stuffed it into her mouth again, using a stainless steel soup ladle to
push the towel hard into her mouth. They had ripped out a lot of her hair in the
process, and blood dripped onto her clothes. Many neighbors watched in horror.
The approximate date was September 30, 2002. Ms. Wang was sent to Changli
Brainwashing Center in Qinhuangdao City as a hostage because the police couldn't
find her husband. Ms. Wang was not released until August 29, 2003. During the 10-month illegal imprisonment, Ms. Wang Shumei went on hunger
strike many times to protest the torture used to force her to give up her
belief. She was force-fed [4] every time she went on hunger strike. Her nose
bled profusely because of the rough and careless insertion of the force feeding
tubes through her nose. Ms. Wang's little girl was born in May 1999. Just a few months after her
birth, she encountered this inhumane persecution that targeted tens of millions
of innocent people. Her kind parents could not provide her with a stable
environment simply because they refused to give up their belief in Falun Dafa,
which teaches people to reach a higher moral standard and be good people. Ms. Wang's 3-year old girl witnessed her mom's violent arrest, causing her
severe emotional trauma. She screamed in her sleep and awoke from nightmares for
more than three weeks. Every time she saw a car, she thought someone was coming
to arrest her, and she was so frightened that she cried for her grandparents.
She became afraid of strangers. Even when relatives from other cities came to
visit her, she was frightened and screamed for grandma. When Mr. Lv Guangxin from the Security Department of the University sent the
little girl to her grandparents, they told him that they had no means to take
care of her. Lv signed a written agreement with them to subsidize them 20 Yuan
per day, but after a few days, Mr. Dong' parents no longer received any money.
They were both in their 60's and had no income to support the child. They had to
take the child with them to sell popcorn just to get by. Regardless of the
weather, they went out at 6 am and came back home after dark all year long. When
the child was sleepy, she rested on the small handcart. When someone wished to
buy popcorn, the child had to sleep on the sidewalk. The little girl often
complained that her legs hurt from the cold. Mr. Dong Junming, Ms. Wang Shumei and their little child once had a warm and
happy family. Because of Jiang Zemin's brutal persecution, they can't return to
their own home and have been separated from each other. Now practitioners in
many countries have taken Jiang Zemin and his accomplices to court with charges
of genocide, torture, and crimes against humanity. April 18, 2004 [1] Political instructor: In all government organizations in China, there is
a political and ideological instructor, also called counselor, whose duty is to
monitor everyone's ideology, and make sure that no one in the organization has
any ideology other than what CCP propagates. [2] "Tied the ropes": a torture name. The police tie up the
practitioner with a thin rope, circle the rope around his neck, and tie his
hands behind his back. Then the police would use all the force they could muster
to tighten the rope. The rope becomes tighter and tighter around the body of the
practitioner, and makes it more and more difficult for him to breathe. The pain
is so intense that the practitioner sometimes loses control of his bladder.
There are instances when the rope was tightened enough to break a practitioner's
arm. [3] "610 offices": an agency specifically created to persecute
Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party
and all other political and judiciary systems. [4] Force-feeding: They force a tube down into her throat and then put mush
or fluids down it. The tube closes off the airway into the throat and suffocates
the victims. Because the food or fluid being forced down is not going down the
normal way, it further closes the throat as the important initial swallowing
muscles are bypassed and the body cannot sent it further down. Many have died
from this type of force-feeding.
