Do Not Let Good People Suffer from Such Persecution Again (Photo)
By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province
(Clearwisdom.net) This photo was taken in October 2004 when Mr. Li Yequan
went back to see his son Yi Xiu. At the time he had been forced to leave home
and wander about in order to avoid being arrested and persecuted. Two months
later, however, he was arrested at the home of a practitioner in the Yinlang
District of Daqing City. In January 2005 he managed to escape from the detention
center with righteous thoughts. On September 23, 2005, he was arrested once
again. Now even his family members do not know where he is. Since Yi Xiu was one year old, his father has been detained many times and
was forced to become homeless to avoid being arrested and persecuted simply
because he refused to give up his belief in the principles of
"Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." Little Yi Xiu rarely had an
opportunity to see his father. In the photo, little Yi Xiu held his father's
neck tightly because he was afraid that his father would leave him again. Every
time his father came back and then had to leave again, little Yi Xiu would cry
and try to keep his father from leaving. He would become very unhappy after his
father left. Mr. Li, 37 years old, was an engineer at the No. 2 Workshop of the Daqing
Perforating Charge Plant and lived at the 5-24-3-101 Chuangye Village in the
Honggang District of Daqing City. After learning Falun Dafa, Mr. Li was honored
as "One of the Best Ten Youths" and excelled at technical innovation. Mr. Li started to practice Falun Dafa in 1996. He kept firmly in mind what
Teacher taught about being a good person wherever you go. He set a very high
standard for himself in his work and life. Before he learned to practice Falun
Dafa, he took home from work the bedding he used when he was on duty. After he
began the practice he brought back the bedding to the factory, Since than, he
has not taken anything from work. Mr. Li's parents were workers on Baoquanling Farm and their income was
meager. When he was at school, his family was very short of money. In order to
support him, his younger brother quit junior high school before graduation. He
said, "I will earn money to support my elder brother." Mr. Li lived up
to the expectations of his parents and other members of his family and passed
the university entrance exam. He earned a good salary after his graduation and
then got married. He had never quarreled with his wife. However, the persecution
of Falun Gong destroyed his calm life and dashed the expectations of his family
members. Due to Mr. Li's persistence in practicing Falun Gong and appealing for and
clarifying the truth about Dafa, he was illegally fined many times
by his workplace. He was also detained at a brainwashing center, a detention
center and at forced labor camps, where he was beaten up, force-fed salt water,
and tortured. One extreme torture was called "tying the ropes" (1). He
was tied to a metal pole outside, without his coat or shoes, in the bitterly
cold weather until he nearly passed out. To avoid further persecution he was
forced to leave home and become homeless. When Mr. Li was released from the forced labor camp he was ordered to clean
the recreational room for elderly people as a punishment. Since the beginning of
2000, having lost the income from Mr. Li who was the only bread-winner, his wife
and young child have lived a very meager existence. His wife's workplace closed
down so she was unemployed at the time. Later, she found a temporary job as a
custodian to support the family. Because the expenses for kindergarten were so
high she could not afford it and young Yi Xiu had to enter primary school one
year earlier than other kids. The shortage of money and the psychological pressure, as well as the lies
spread by the Chinese Communist Party, made Mr. Li's wife unable to understand
him. His mother-in-law also complained about him. After several years of truth
clarifying, however, his wife and mother-in-law eventually understood him and
began to stand by his side Where is Mr. Li now and what is his condition as a result of the persecution?
His family members worry about him a great deal. An account of the persecution Mr. Li has experienced: On July 14, 2000, when he went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa, he was
illegally arrested and escorted back to Daqing City. He was detained
at the Honggang Detention Center for two months and then, upon his release from
the detention center, he was directly sent to a brainwashing center run by the
610 Office of the Perforating Charge Plant. He was locked up for 50
days in the factory's guesthouse. During that time he was not allowed to go home
or contact any outsiders. His salary was stopped as well. Because he was
steadfast in his belief, he was sent back to the Honggang District Detention
Center. On January 19, 2001, he was sentenced to one year of forced labor and
sent to the Daqing Forced Labor Camp. At the end of March 2001, Mr. Li was
dragged to the camp's "parade" ground and handcuffed to an iron pole
for continuing to do the Falun Gong exercises. That was at 3 o'clock in the
morning and the outside temperature was less than -10 degrees Celsius (about
14F). The prison guards stripped off his jumper, tracksuit pants and shoes and
left him there for more than an hour, until he nearly collapsed, before they
dragged him back inside. On the following day the prison guards covered his face
and tortured him with "tying the ropes." What's more, the prison
guards force fed him with salt water. They stopped his nose with their fingers
and when he opened his mouth they poured the salt water down his throat. Half of
the salt water went into his lungs, which made Mr. Li foam at the mouth and then
cough violently. After the forced feeding he spat salt water for nearly 20 days.
After being released from the forced labor camp he was transferred to a senior
citizen's home to work as a janitor. At the end of July 2003, Mr. Li was at work when Kan Deping, the Deputy Party
Secretary of the Perforating Charge Plant, and Yao Shujun, the Director of the
local 610 Office, came with four or five policemen and abducted Mr. Li in broad
daylight. They sent him to the Hongweixing Brainwashing Center of Daqing City
and then transferred him to the Chuangye Police Station, where a confession was
extorted from him after two days of torture before he was sent to a detention
center. Mr. Li went on a hunger strike for more than ten days and was taken back
home by his family. Then he was forced to leave home and become homeless to
avoid further arrests and persecution. On December 10, 2004, Mr. Li was arrested at the home of a practitioner from
the Yinlang District after police officers from the Ranghulu District Police
Department and the Chengxin Police Station of Daqing City forced their way into
the house. Mr. Li was detained and interrogated at the Saertu District Detention
Center for nearly a month. He went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution
and was sentenced to three years of forced labor. He was sent to the Daqing
Forced Labor Camp and was released on bail for medical treatment because he did
not pass the medical examination. At about 5 o'clock in the morning on September 23, 2005, he was once again
arrested in the Sha'ertu District. Now, however, his whereabouts are unknown. Telephone Numbers of the Departments Related to the Persecution: (Note: for home or office phone numbers, dial country code + area code before

thin nylon rope around the back of a person's neck and then wrapping it around
both shoulders down to each arm, loop by loop, and then over each hand. The rope
is tightened to its limit and cuts into the flesh. Both arms are forced behind
the back and raised to the extreme, and then both thumbs are tied with a rope
and fastened to the rope that goes around the back of the neck. The person
tortured in this way is then kicked to a kneeling position on the floor. The
rope is released about one hour later, and then the person is tied up like this
again a second time, then a third time...See photo illustration on
