Holding Firmly to the Truth -- Remembering Fengcheng Practitioner Yu Fenghua
By a Dafa Practitioner in Liaoning Province
(Clearwisdom.net) At 6 p.m. on May 10, 2004, Ms. Yu Fenghua, a 57 year-old
practitioner, died in a hospital in Fengcheng City, Liaoning Province after
suffering more than three years of imprisonment and torture at Dabei Prison in
Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. Facing the reckless crackdown led by Jiang's
regime, Ms. Yu safeguarded her belief with her life.
Ms. Yu Fenghua lived in the Aimin residential area of Fengcheng City. She was
a music teacher at the Hanmo Elementary School. In 1997, she started the
practice of Falun Gong. Very soon, her mind and body were improved.
Jiang Zemin launched the crackdown of Falun Gong due to his jealousy. Falun
Gong practitioners in Mainland China are arrested and jailed if they appeal to
the government, so they now go to the public to expose the propaganda and let
people know the true situation of Falun Gong. Ms. Yu Fenghua was among the first
group of practitioners to stand up to publicly clarify the truth.
In October 2000, the police from Dengtiemei Street Police Station, Fengcheng
City, attempted to arrest Ms. Yu Fenghua. Several policemen broke into and
ransacked her home. Ms. Yu Fenghua, who was on her way home, learned of the
intrusion and felt she had little choice but to stay away from home, to avoid
certain persecution.
In January of 2001, the police arrested her when she was hanging a banner
reading "Falun Dafa is Good" along a street in Dalian City. At that time, when
the police in Fengcheng City heard the news of her being detained, they wanted
to transfer her back to Fengcheng City. But their request was refused because
the police wanted to be promoted through their efforts in the persecution in
Dalian City, where the most severe persecution of Falun Gong takes place.
After Ms. Yu was arrested, she went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal
detention. She was sentenced to eight years of imprisonment and was transferred
to Dabei Prison in Shenyang City.
During the time when Ms. Yu was tortured in Dabei Prison, she was very
determined to continue practicing Falun Dafa, and none of the torture she was
subjected to changed her determination.
On May 5, 2004, an official from Dabei Prison ordered Ms. Yu's relative to
come and pick her up. By then, she had been tortured to her last breath. When a
relative came to pick up her, Ms. Yu was carried out on a stretcher. Several
days later, around 6 p.m. on May 10, Ms. Yu passed away.
