(Clearwisdom. net) Falun Dafa practitioner Guo Yuzhen of Daqing City,
Heilongjiang Province died on May 4, 2004. She suffered long-term persecution
for upholding her beliefs. Following are the details:
Ms. Guo Yuzhen, 47 years old, was a Daqing City's Huaneng Xinhua Power
Company Limited retiree and a Falun Gong practitioner.
On May 27, 2002, police followed her while she was on her way to get Falun
Dafa truth clarification materials. She was abducted, her home was searched and
she was sent to the Daqing City Detention Center the same day. After 40 days of
illegal detention, she was sentenced to two years of forced labor and sent to
the Harbin City Drug Rehabilitation Center, but due to poor health was sent home
on probation.
Guo Yuzhen's employer stopped her retirement pension and forced her husband
to stay at home to "reform" her. His pay was converted to "laid
off" pay, and he was threatened with a permanent lay-off. Under this
tremendous pressure, Guo's husband tried to force her to stop cultivation and
prohibited her from studying the Fa and practicing the exercises. He would
torment her and force her to write a "Regret Statement" if he spotted
her studying the Fa or practicing the exercises.
Suffering from this physical and mental abuse and mistreatment, Guo Yuzhen's
health deteriorated quickly. On September 6, 2002, she was sent to a hospital
due to a brain hemorrhage. In 2003, her employer escalated the persecution by
taking away her benefits and came to her home to harass her. On May 4, 2004, not
being able to tolerate the long time persecution any longer, Guo Yuzhen died in
her home.
