By a Falun Dafa Practitioner in Harbin City

Tian Baobin

(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Tian Baobin was born on May 27, 1949, and lived on Diling Street, Daowai District, Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. He was an employee of the Harbin City Grain/Oil Machine Factory. Because he was firm in cultivating Falun Dafa, he died of tortures in the Changlinzi Labor Camp on September 13, 2003, when he was 54 years old.

Mr. Tian Baobin started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. He had advanced heart disease and almost died of a heart attack a few months before he began practicing Falun Dafa. His health quickly recovered after he began practicing Falun Dafa.

Around July 22, 1999, he went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa, and was arrested twice by the Daowai District Police Detention Center. Because he was firm in his belief, it was determined that brainwashing was the appropriate method to "transform" him. Police often went to his home to harass him, with the intent to force him to give up his cultivation, which he firmly refused to do using his righteous thoughts.

On August 31, 2002, at 10 p.m., police arrested him, ransacked his home, and sentenced him to 3 years in the Changlinzi Labor Camp.

Inside the Changlinzi Labor Camp, he was subjected to numerous tortures, because he refused to give up Falun Dafa. In only 1 year, his mental and physical health was severely compromised and his life was in grave danger.

On September 13, 2003, his family received notice that he was very ill, and was undergoing emergency treatment at the Harbin City No.2 Hospital. When a family member reached the hospital, he was unconscious and his face was purple black. He died shortly thereafter. The doctor said that he died of a brain stem hemorrhage, but normally this kind of patient would have a pinkish brain, whereas Mr. Tian's brain was severely bruised and purple black in color.

Before July 22, 1999, Tian Baobin received his second chance at life after cultivating Falun Dafa cured his heart disease.

After July 22, 1999, Tian Baobin kept cultivating Falun Dafa, was sent to a labor camp by the Daowai Distirct "610 Office," and died by torture in the Changlinzi Labor Camp!
