On February 18, 2004, Ms. Yuan Ming, a young teacher in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, returned home from class. Her father, under the influence of the Chinese Communist regime's propaganda and persecution, pulled the cord out of the telephone, came up behind Ms. Yuan, and suddenly wrapped it around her neck. After Ms. Yuan Ming struggled and got away, her father caught her again, wrapped the cord tightly around her neck, and almost strangled her. Frightened by her father's wild behavior, Ms. Yuan Ming could not think straight. In her confused mental state, she wrote the so-called Guarantee Statement not to practice Falun Gong any more.

Her father is a high-level intellectual under the control of the CCP. When Ms. Yuan Ming told her mother what her father had done, her mother, a People's Congress member, only replied, "I have investigated and found that your father's behavior was only negligence."

Ms. Yuan Ming, 29, is the only daughter in her family. Beginning in September 2001, she has taught English in the Foreign Language Department at Guangzhou City Evening University. After being introduced to Falun Dafa, Ms. Yuan Ming became a firm cultivator and improved her xinxing. She is kind and attaches little importance to fame and self-interest. She works hard at school and is also a devoted daughter at home.

In the past few years, Ms. Yuan Ming has been persecuted many times and was detained for brainwashing for a long time. She was last arrested on December 15, 2004, and sent to the notorious brainwashing class in Chatou, where she remains to this day.

In 2002, when the school forced all the teachers and students to attend a meeting to condemn Falun Gong, Ms. Yuan Ming spoke out frankly to defend Falun Dafa and also clarified the truth to teachers and students through her personal cultivation experiences. Against her will, the school sent her to a brainwashing class in Chatou, Guangzhou, the so-called "Legal Education School." Ms. Yuan suffered from physical and mental persecution. She was not "released" to return to teaching until 2003. Out of her compassion as a practitioner, Ms. Yuan Ming clarified the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong to her colleagues and students through her personal experiences of being persecuted in the brainwashing class.

Some people were still deeply poisoned and spread rumors to defame Dafa, including Economics Department teacher Ms. Mo, teacher He from the Administrative Department, and student Chen Jinghe. They reported Ms. Yuan Ming to the school authorities. Some officials of the Guangzhou Evening University used the school's name and colluded with the residential administration and the police station to immediately put pressure on Ms. Yuan Ming. They used both persuasion and threats, but none of their tactics worked on her. Therefore, they secretly called Ms. Yuan's father and threatened and intimidated Ms. Yuan Ming's parents.

Ms. Yuan Ming's father was afraid that his daughter might lose her job, so he begged the school authorities to keep Ms. Yuan's position. As a trade off, the school officials took advantage of the man's hot temper and lack of rationality to get him to "help educate" his daughter, not allowing her to clarify the truth. Pressured by the "red terror," her father was worried and scared, and he suffered extreme anguish. His rationality and morality were so completely twisted that he even persecuted his own daughter.

After 9:00 p.m. on February 18, 2004, Yuan Ming finished her lecture and returned home. Her father had been waiting for her for a long time. Shadowed by his bad experiences during the "Great Cultural Revolution" and controlled by the evil communist spirit, Ms. Yuan's father pulled the cord out of the telephone, came up behind his daughter, and suddenly wrapped the cord so tightly around her neck that Ms. Yuan almost couldn't breathe. After Yuan Ming struggled free, her father once again caught her, tied the cord around her neck tightly and almost strangled her. Even though he is a high-level intellectual, Ms. Yuan's father lost all self-control and rationality.

The next day, when Ms. Yuan Ming ran into Wang Jun from the school security section, she questioned him. Wang Jun said, "I called your father and we just had a casual conversation." But this "casual conversation" almost caused a terrible tragedy!

Less than a month after this incident, the vice-president of the school, Wang Guoquan, ordered Ms. Yuan Ming to talk to Wang Jun in security. In the security section, she met Security Section Chief Wang Jun and the director of the school office, Zhang Ronglie. Wang Jun said, "The Communist Party committee director and I talked to your father and asked him to 'educate' you. We told him to pay attention to his methods and not to use violence. Your father's temper is very bad. You know, I often get in touch with your father." Zhang Ronglie said, "You should talk to your father about his behavior, not us. Did he violate any law?" Ms. Yuan Ming said, "It was not only illegal, it was a crime. I want to make a suggestion to the school: if you have any issue, you can talk to me directly, not to my father." Zhang Ronglie said, "We cannot accept this suggestion." Shortly after, Zhang Ronglie found an excuse to exempt Ms. Yuan Ming from her role as a student advisor so as to decrease her contact with students.

The authorities not only persecute determined practitioners directly but also apply strong pressure to practitioners' families. They intimidate and threaten them so much that some family members even lose their senses. Controlled by the evil factors behind them, they do bad things to their own families. This incident is also an example of the cruel and evil nature of the Communist Party.

In this multiparty persecution of Ms. Yuan Ming by the police station, her workplace and her family, Ms. Yuan's father was the person who carried out the persecution directly, but he was just a tool. The police station and some of the school officials were the genuine instigators. They used another person's hands to carry out the persecution. These people themselves are also being used by the evil, and they are victims of the Party culture. Each of them plays a different role in doing deplorable things.

Ms. Yuan Ming's mother, as a member of the People's Congress, didn't protect her own daughter who believes in Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truth-Compassion-Forbearance). On the contrary, she supported the school. Regarding her husband's behavior, she only said, "I have investigated and found that his behavior was merely an error." Ms. Yuan Ming actually called her mother and told her that her father's dangerous actions were totally wrong and also said that, even if her father could evade human laws, he could not escape the punishment of heavenly law. Her mother's work phone was monitored, so many of her colleagues learned that Ms. Yuan Ming was persecuted and that her mother had tried to find excuses to defend the persecution.

Poisoned by the Communist Party's evil culture for a long time, Ms. Yuan Ming's parents thought that "arms cannot fight with legs" and "only those people who understand the times are wise people," so they thought they were in the right and put aside morality and conscience. When Ms. Yuan Ming was detained in a brainwashing class in 2003, her parents were so fearful that, for an entire year, they didn't dare ask about the persecution their daughter was suffering in the brainwashing class. They clearly know that their daughter was illegally detained and persecuted by the Chinese Communist regime, but the parents instead have accused their daughter and found her guilty.

Around 8:00 a.m. on December 15, 2004, because she had been clarifying the truth to students about the persecution of Falun Gong and exposing the evil's lies on the notice boards and in her classes, Ms. Yuan Ming was arrested again and sent to the notorious brainwashing class in Chatou, where she remains illegally detained.

The following is the solemn statement that Ms. Yuan Ming wrote on the evening of February 18, 2004:

Solemn Statement

Tonight when I finished my lecture and went home (after 9:00 p.m.), my father, under intense pressure, completely lost his senses. He hid in my home and, when I wasn't paying attention, suddenly wrapped a cord around my neck so tightly from behind that he almost suffocated me. He repeated this several times and I almost couldn't breathe! He forced me to write a Guarantee Statement. Now I would like to make a solemn statement to nullify every word that I was forced to write under my father's coercion. From now on I will follow the requirements of Dafa to firmly cultivate to the end and double my efforts to make up for all the losses that I have caused Dafa.

Yuan Ming
