(Clearwisdom.net) Qiao Zhongjin and his wife Fu Minling are both practitioners from Jianping County, Liaoning Province. For practicing Falun Gong, Qiao Zhongjin was arrested and detained in Wujiawa Detention Center in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province and Fu Minling was detained in Masanjia Labor Camp in Liaoning Province.

The couple has two children. Their daughter, Qiao Ruiyue, is 18 years old. She used to study at Jianping County First Middle School and was a very good student. However, she had to drop out of school because both of her parents were detained and lost their jobs. Ruiyue's brother Qiao Guangsheng is only 9 years old and he is a third grader in Songzhangzi Elementary School. Currently, the two children live with their elderly grandparents.

On January 27, 2005, Ruiyue and Guangsheng went to the Wujiawa Detention Center requesting to see their father. However, the police didn't let them see their father. Instead, they kicked them out of the detention center.

The sister and brother refused to leave the detention center. In the evening, the detention center police carried the two children to a police van and detained them in a homeless shelter. They also threatened to jail the sister. The shelter staff wanted to send the children home, and the sister said, "We have no home to go back to. Our parents are both detained."

On January 28, the two children went to the detention center again asking for the release of their father. However, the detention center threatened to send the sister to another detention center. The sister felt helpless so she knocked her head against the wall. The detention center then detained the two children at the homeless shelter again.

Qiao Ruiyue's grandfather requested the release of his son several times, but was rejected every time. He was devastated and as a result, he had a stroke. Now he cannot take care of himself.
