Remembering Practitioner Mr. Liu Yucai, Who Died as a Result of Persecution

By a practitioner from Mainland China

(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Liu Yucai was over 50 years old and lived in Majialiang Village, Jiangjiatun Town, Xuanhua County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. In the spring of 2005, the Clearwisdom website reported that he had passed away.

After the spring of 2001, Mr. Liu Yucai was detained for two years in the Tumuji Forced Labor Camp in Inner Mongolia Province for speaking out for Falun Dafa. At that time, in order to protest the practice of not releasing practitioners whose labor term had expired, all the male practitioners in the Tumuji Forced Labor Camp went on a collective hunger strike and refused to perform forced labor. Wang Zhichen, Ji Xiaodong and other practitioners were put into "small cells" and tortured. The Tumuji Forced Labor Camp police guards forced the remaining practitioners to stand in front of the building. When Zhang Yaguang, a supervisor, and Wang Liwei, a guard, incited the prison police to shout at the practitioners, the practitioners recited together,

"How much longer can the evil run rampant?
Every being's volition is fully revealed."

("Rectifying the Colossal Firmament" in Essentials for Further Advancement II)

The police were very frightened, and supervisor Zhang shouted loudly, "Put Liu Yucai into a small cell!" Two guards forced Mr. Liu into a small cell. Without a pause, other practitioners took the lead, and everyone continued reciting Teacher Li's poems from Hongyin. The guards continued to put any practitioner who took the lead into a small cell. However, the sound of voices reciting Teacher Li's poems from Hongyin did not stop until there were only five or six practitioners left.

Several days later, the guards persecuted these practitioners by implementing a damaging force-feeding system. They selected Mr. Liu Yucai, who was over 50 years old and thin and short, as their first target to be force-fed. Mr. Liu was determined not to cooperate, and the police had to pry his mouth open to pour in the rice soup. Mr. Liu fainted and didn't regain consciousness until the next day. Twenty days later, I met with Mr. Liu on my way to the restroom. He told me, with his fingers pointing to his mouth, that the rice soup that the police had forced into his mouth had been boiling hot. He fainted even before they had poured all the soup into his mouth. When he regained consciousness, he found his mouth seriously burned with many big blisters. During that event, the practitioners did very well as one body. There were only two "transformed" practitioners, who later declared their repentance statements null and void. They came back to cultivation and validated Dafa. After that event, the forced labor camp had to release all the practitioners whose terms had expired without any extra conditions.

As time went by, these practitioners endured several large-scale persecution campaigns, but they were always determined to continue to resist the persecution. In 2002, these practitioners conducted an anti-persecution protest. Zhang Yaguang, the supervisor of the guards, had to come upstairs and promise the practitioners that he would personally guarantee that the persecution of practitioners, including verbal abuse and beatings, would no longer take place. However, shortly after that, in order to follow the commands of the 610 Office, the Judicatory Office and the Labor Reeducation Bureau of Inner Mongolia Province, he resumed the cruel persecution of practitioners. When he saw the guards beating practitioners again, Mr. Liu criticized Zhang Yaguang directly, "Didn't you personally guarantee that this would not happen? Where do you stand now?" Zhang Yaguang swore vehemently, ran up to Mr. Liu, hit him in the face, and slapped him over 20 times. Mr. Liu's mouth was full of blood, and he spit the blood onto the ground.

Later on, the police guards worked hard to try to "transform" practitioners. In order to "transform" Mr. Liu, they did not allow him to sleep. Mr. Liu was determined to resist the persecution. The police verbally abused him and refused to let him sleep for several days. As a result, Mr. Liu's blood pressure rose, and the police had to give up their efforts to "transform" him. From that time onward, however, Mr. Liu's blood pressure remained high. He felt very cold and was in great pain. He had to be released early from the labor camp. After he returned home, the local police officers harassed him repeatedly. In January 2004, the police searched his home without a warrant. As a result, Mr. Liu couldn't go back to his own home. On January 16, 2004, he died.
