Nine More Falun Dafa Practitioners in China Known to Have Died from Persecution
(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Chen Xueda, 67, was a former chief engineer at
Dalong Ore, Iron and Coal Group in Liaoning Province. He worked diligently and
was burned out. He suffered from serious insomnia, which led to heart disease.
In the summer of 1995, he was fortunate enough to obtain Dafa. He recovered
after several months and returned to his post. After Jiang Zemin's regime began
to persecute Falun Dafa on July 20, 1999, and because Mr. Chen spoke frankly,
submitted a written statement, and went to Beijing to appeal, he was arrested
and illegally detained for one month. Because he did not give up the practice,
the local 610 Office, the local police station, and his company
frequently harassed him at home and forced him to write a repentance
statement. This led him to have a recurrence of his old illness. He passed
away on the evening of January 23, 2004. Ms. Wang Xiuqing, 57, was a retired worker living at Tanji Dormitory, West
Xiqiao District, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. Before she cultivated and
practiced Dafa, she had many diseases, and was frequently hospitalized. Soon
after she began cultivating, she fully recovered from all of her ailments. In
2000, Ms. Wang practiced at the Railroad Park and posted Dafa banners. She was
arrested by the Gongrenxincun local police station in West Xiqiao District and
Shenjiatun local police station twice, and was illegally detained and fined.
Later, the Gongrenxincun local police station and the residents' committee often
harassed her. Her body and mind were seriously harmed, and she suffered a
relapse of her illnesses. She died around New Year's Day, 2005. Ms. Sun Zhanling, 25, was a villager from Nanqiao Village, Zetou Town,
Wendeng City, Shandong Province. When she was 16 years old, she contracted
epilepsy and encephalitis. Her family sought every sort of medical help, all to
no avail. In 1997, she obtained Dafa and started her cultivation. Her many years
of incurable diseases disappeared without any further treatment. After Jiang's
regime began to persecute Dafa on July 20, 1999, in order to say a few just
words for Master and Dafa, Ms. Sun and her mother went to Beijing before the New
Year of 2000 to appeal. When they arrived in Haiyang station, they were
intercepted and arrested. Zeng Shaohe from the Zetou local police station
returned them to their local police station in handcuffs and then illegally
arrested them and confiscated their family's property. Only after her father
borrowed 2,000 yuan were they released. After that, the local police
station in Nanqiao Village went to their home during the daytime to forcibly ask
them whether or not they practiced, and then kept watch on them in the evening.
In 2001, both she and her mother were arrested by the Zetou local police station
again and forced to write a guarantee statement. All kinds of
methods were used to threaten and harass them. Ms. Sun Zhanling had a recurrence
of her old illness and passed away on May 5, 2001. Ms. Zhang Ruhua, who was over 60 years old, was a retired teacher from Xinji
City, Hebei Province. She became very healthy after practicing Dafa. However,
since the start of the persecution of Falun Dafa on April 25, 1999, she was
harassed and threatened many times. She died in 2002. Ms. Wang Rongtan, who was over 60 years old, was a Dafa practitioner in Xinji
City, Hebei Province. When the persecution of Falun Dafa began on July 20, 1999,
she went to Beijing to appeal. On the way, the local police took away all of her
money. Later, she was repeatedly threatened to the point where her body and mind
suffered enormous harm. She died suddenly in the summer of 2004. Mr. Ma Zaoling was over 70 years old, and was a Dafa practitioner in Xinji
City, Hebei Province. After practicing Dafa, he became healthy in both body and
mind. After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, he was threatened and
harassed many times. Because his daughter insisted on practicing Falun Dafa, she
was dismissed by her company. He was illegally detained and imprisoned on
numerous occasions. His body and mind were severely harmed, and he died in
February 2003. Ms. Bian Bingyue was over 60 years old. She was a Dafa practitioner in Xinji
City, Hebei Province. After practicing Dafa, she became healthy and her many
years of diseases disappeared. However, after the persecution of Dafa began in
1999, she was threatened and arrested many times. She died in 2003. Mr. Zhou Qichang, 73, was a staff member of the Wuchuan Mercury Mine in
Guizhou Province. He lived in his daughter's home. At one time he was diagnosed
with throat cancer, bronchitis, and other ailments. After practicing Dafa, he
fully recovered from these diseases. Additionally, the sarcoma that was on his
instep for several decades disappeared without a trace. His bald head even grew
hair again. In July 1999, Mr. Zhou, his wife, daughter, son-in-law, and grandson
went to the provincial government to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong and were
arrested. After he returned home, the leaders in his daughter's company and the
public security bureau visited them frequently to threaten, intimidate, and
monitor them. This precipitated an attack of cerebral thrombosis. He left the
world on December 19, 2000. Mr. Xue Fengqi, 72, lived on Zhengyang Street, Yushu City, Jilin Province. In
October 2001, he went to Beijing to validate Dafa and was arrested. He refused
to reveal his name when asked by the police. The Tiananmen Square Police Station
searched him and found his address on his keys. The Yushu Municipal Public
Security Bureau asked his family members to pay 400 yuan for his release. In
total, his family members were blackmailed for over ten thousand yuan. After
coming back, he was hounded constantly. While under tremendous pressure, Mr. Xue
died from bladder cancer some time shortly before October 1, 2004. March 8, 2005 |
