(Clearwisdom.net) My name is Qu Wenting. I am a 52-year-old woman who lives in Xituan Village in Dongchengfang Town, Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province. Several years ago, almost every part of my body was dysfunctional. I was paralyzed and bedridden. I could not get out of bed for six months. My husband had to turn me over in bed. My family life was very difficult. Through practicing Falun Dafa, however, I became healthy and could do almost any kind of work. I used to have a bad temper. After studying Dafa, I conducted myself according to Dafa's requirements. My temperament improved and my family life became harmonious.

At around 8:00 p.m. on November 24, 2005, four men wearing police uniforms, carrying electric batons barged into my home. I asked, "What are you here for?" A tall policeman said, "None of your business!" I said, "You are trespassing by breaking into a private home!" I asked them to show their IDs. The tall officer said, "Don't you know why we are here, since we are already in here? We don't need to have an ID to deal with people like you!"

They went through things inside my home and I couldn't stop them. They found a recorder, two copies of the book Zhuan Falun, two exercise cassettes, one music tape and several copies of Teacher's articles. They asked me, "Do you practice Falun Gong?" I said, "Yes. I practice because I was sick." They said, "Don't explain it to us, tell it to our superiors." They pulled me up and tried to make me go with them. I refused. Officer He Xuejian kicked me with his boots, and another officer dragged me into a minibus. They flung the door to my home open and left it open when we departed. I was pushed into the minibus wearing thin clothes and thin cotton slippers.

I tried to get off the minibus at the police division, but they pulled me back inside. Six arrested people from my village including myself were on this minibus. We were taken to the Dongchengfang Police Department and locked in the office. They illegally interrogated the six of us during the night. He Xuejian and Wang Zengjun interrogated me. He Xuejian said, "You better behave or I'll poke you with electric batons!" He brandished an electric baton in front of me and hit my lower back and legs twice with the electric baton. I couldn't stand up and squatted on the floor. He yanked me up and slapped my face twice with his right hand. I saw stars and my head became numb. Blood seeped out of the corner of my mouth.

While He Xuejian was hitting me Wang Zengjun said, "Give her a good beating! No one will have to pay for a life like hers if we beat her to death." Wang Zengjun demanded, "Who else practices Falun Gong in your village?" I said, "No one." He Xuejian slapped my face twice again. He kept on slapping my face and kicking my pelvis with his boots. After the interrogation they forced me to sign a document. I'm illiterate so I didn't know what the document said. Later I learned that the fabricated document stated I had I said more than 30 people practice Falun Gong in my village. After word got out, many people in my village no longer trusted me. It was past midnight by the time I returned to the office. Practitioner Ms. Liu Jizhi was not there. When Liu Jizhi finally returned she said to me, "These people are beasts, and He Xuejian is a pervert." I thought, "That's impossible." I immediately said to her, "Don't casually say things like that. We are old and He Xuejian is about our children's age. We are Dafa practitioners. We shouldn't let them spread rumors about our words." The rest of the other practitioners came back at about 3:00 a.m. I sent forth righteous thoughts all night to eliminate the evil.

At 9:00 a.m. on November 25 my family brought me breakfast. Before I could finish eating, they made us clean the room, mop the floor, sweep the yard and clean the windows until lunchtime. Before we could finish eating lunch, they again forced us to clean the place and the car. He Xuejian knew that I was illiterate. He said to me, "So you can't stand up? That's OK because I'll let you do some work that won't require you to stand up." He ordered me to pick up cigarette butts all over the courtyard and threatened to beat me if I refused. He said, "Don't you dare talk back to me. Do as I said! Count it after you finish. If you are one [cigarette butt] short, I'll slap your face." As he was smoking, he deliberately threw the cigarette butts far away from him and ordered me to pick them up, pile them together and count them. He said, "If you make a mistake counting them, I'll stab you with my electric baton!"

One woman who was a cook in the cafeteria could not stand watching it any longer. She confronted He Xuejian. He Xuejian said, "They have to do exactly as I tell them! I dare them to disobey! I'll beat them up if they don't listen to me!" He sat on a chair, crossed his legs and laughed heartily. I saw that he was indeed crooked, so I asked for Teacher's help to give him retribution. He suddenly darted forward from his chair and fell below the steps. He got up and he was frightened, but he tried to reassure himself by saying, "I'm not afraid." He made us work.

As I was sitting down after I did the work, He Xuejian called Liu Jizhi to his room. About thirty minutes later Liu Jizhi came out. She fell into my arms, cried and shouted, "Aunt [in China, a courteous way to address women of older age], I don't want to live!" I asked, "What happened?" She said, "He Xuejian raped me." I couldn't believe my ears. I asked her once more, "Really? He did this do you?" She said, "Yes it's true!" She again held me and cried. She said, "If not for Teacher saying suicide is wrong, I would have thrown myself against the table and killed myself right there." I was so anguished I also cried. Liu Jizhi said, "You have to be careful!"

He Xuejian then took Han Yuzhi away. I was really worried and begged Wei Baoliang and Wang Helin, "You go stop him! He did this to Liu Jizhi. Han Yuzhi is younger than Liu Jizhi; it's not good!" They hesitated, stood up and sat back down. After a long time, Han Yuzhi came back. Her face was red and she didn't say anything. She only shed tears. He Xuejian again called her away. I was exasperated and I stroked my hands against each other. I looked out from the window and saw Han Yuzhi working.

At around 5:00 p.m. Han Yuzhi's husband Liu Jianzeng took her away. Wei Baoliang was bailed out, and Jia Yanzhi escaped. Jia Yanzhi was arrested when visiting a Dafa practitioner. Liu Jizhi, Wang Helin and I stayed in the small office. It was cold in the evening. At around 10:00 p.m. Wang Zengjun called Liu Jizhi and me to go to he and He Xuejan's dorm room. There were two single beds in the dorm room, separated by a table in the middle. He Xuejian was lying in one bed. They told Liu Jizhi and me to stay overnight near the table. Liu Jizhi and I saw that they had ill intentions, so we ran back to the office. He Xuejian tried to grab me but he missed and cursed, "We let you stay here and you don't want to stay, stupid women!" I was wearing only one layer of thin clothing since the arrest. I was chilled and numb from the cold during the night in the office. It was so cold!

On the morning of November 26 my father-in-law, who is in his 70s, and my 18-year-old son borrowed 1,000 yuan after an entire night of going to different people. They were hopeful that they could bail me out. The political head Xing said 1,000 yuan was not enough! My son cried. I asked Chai Yuqiao, "How much money do you want?" Chai Yuqiao said, "What can I do with 1,000 yuan? Give me 3,000 yuan!" My head spun. I sat on the bed and couldn't move. At around 11:00 a.m. my son and father-in-law, practitioner Wang Helin's family and Liu Jizhi's father-in-law had raised 3,000 yuan and bailed us out.

I learned after I got home that it was very difficult for my family to get 3,000 yuan. 1,500 yuan was borrowed from Yue Guihe. He would use this money to buy feedstuffs. My family told him we would return the money after they bailed me out. Now that I'm free, how in the world will I pay back this money? My family was poor to begin with, and we are now almost destitute after several years of persecution, during which time arrests and "fines" have been commonplace.

Now, Song Xiaobin, Dongchengfang Town Political and Judiciary Committee, secretary Chai Yuqiao, General Politics Office head Wang Huiqi and others have entered Xituan Village. A group of patrol police are now in the village, too. They claimed that they would arrest the two victims who left home to avoid persecution, and two witnesses --Wang Helin and me. Anyone who provides hints leading to the arrest of any of the four of us will receive a 100,000 yuan reward.

I left home to avoid another arrest. Recently, the perpetrators threatened witness Wang Helin that they were going to send him to the Nanma Prison and then release him, so they could satisfy their superiors.
