(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Song Zhenling, an outstanding teacher, lives in Huazhuang Xingzheng Village, Lutai Town, Huaiyang County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province. He had a serious case of Hepatitis B, which persisted despite many treatments. After beginning to practice Falun Dafa in 1996, Mr. Song became very healthy. His wife, Mrs. Wang Guijin, also practices Falun Dafa.

Since Jiang's regime started persecuting Falun Dafa on July 20, 1999, the formerly happy Song family has suffered greatly. Mr. Song lost his vision, his nine-month-pregnant wife was injected with drugs to induce premature birth, and police abducted their four-year-old son.

Mr. Song and Mrs. Wang have told many people about the wonders that Falun Dafa has brought to their lives. In September 2000, Mr. Song and Mrs. Wang went to appeal for Falun Dafa in Beijing. The Huaiyang 610 Office Beijing Station arrested them and sent them home. Both Mr. Song and Mrs. Wang were then held in the Huaiyang Detention Center, where they endured numerous hardships. They were released only after relatives had pawned family possessions to pay the 3,100 yuan bail. The local 610 Office and police continued to harass the family time and again after their release, so Mr. Song and Mrs. Wang had to abandon their home. While they staying at another practitioner's home, however, someone reported them to the authorities. Mr. Song and Mrs. Wang were arrested again. They went on a twenty-nine-day hunger strike and then walked out of the detention center with righteous thoughts.

Mr. Song and Mrs. Wang moved to Dan City and started a small business. Again they were arrested when someone reported them to the police. They were detained in Dan City on February 7, 2004, and later transferred to the Huiyang Detention Center. They went on another hunger strike. Since February 7, 2004, Mr. Song's health has severely deteriorated. He has become blind and emaciated. Zheng Xianfang, leader of the Huiyang 610 Office security branch, paid no attention to the poor jail conditions and continued to persecute Mr. Song and several other practitioners.

After twenty-two days on a hunger strike, Mrs. Wang's life was in danger. Afraid of being held responsible for her condition, the officials released her. Mrs. Wang became destitute and homeless to avoid arrest. The police looked for her in her brother-in-law's home, threatening, "If you do not give her to us, we will arrest your entire family." Mrs. Wang was arrested at her mother's house. Her father was sentenced to one year in prison for "harboring a criminal," and a neighbor was fined 2000 yuan for keeping her for one night.

At that time, Mrs. Wang was nine months pregnant. Ten days before her due date the police took her to the family planning center and forced her to have an abortion. The police also abducted Mrs. Wang's four-year-old son. Mrs. Wang has not heard anything about her son since then.
