The Persecution of Farmer Wang Xiaolun and his Family over the Last Six Years
By a Falun Gong practitioner from Hebei Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Wang Xiaolun is a farmer from Wangjiafang Village,
Xiongxian County in Hebei Province. He and his wife, Guo Donghua, both started
practicing Falun Gong in 1997. Through practicing Falun Gong they were able to
maintain good health and a harmonious family. However, since July 20, 1999,
during the more than six years of persecution against Falun Gong launched by
Jiang's regime, Mr. Wang and his family have been subjected to severe
persecution. Three of their four parents passed away prematurely due to the fear
and anxiety caused by repeated harassment and threats from the County
Government, Shilipu Township Police Station, the local village leaders and other
lawless personnel. The two practitioners decided to leave their home and become
homeless in order to escape further persecution. They have been unable to take
care of their family, including their children. Consequently, another happy
family has been torn apart by the persecution. Gaining good health and a harmonious family from cultivating in Dafa Before practicing Falun Gong, Wang Xiaolun had several different illnesses,
including chronic gastritis, chronic inflammation of the throat membranes, and
chronic leg and back pain. He spent a huge amount of money on medical treatment,
but the illnesses were not cured. He felt miserable and upset, and was always
having fights with his wife. His wife could not bear his demeanor any more and
wanted to divorce him. In early 1997, their former classmate introduced them to Falun Gong. After
practicing the exercises and studying the Fa, they began to
understand how to be good people, and they started to discipline themselves
according to Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. When faced with gains and
benefits, they let others pick first. They also got along very well with their
neighbors and friends. Wang Xiaolun used to gamble by playing mahjong. After
starting Falun Gong practice, he stopped this bad habit. In addition, all of his
illnesses disappeared and his relationship with his wife also improved. Their
daughter also benefited from her parent's practice. Before they decided to leave
home to avoid the persecution, she had never had any sicknesses. In 1998, Wang Xiaolun's sister-in-law was diagnosed with cancer of the
esophagus. She went to a hospital and suffered a lot. After spending a lot of
money, her cancer was still not cured. She started to practice Falun Gong.
Within a few months she was cured. Their 80-year-old grandma felt that Falun
Gong was amazing due to its ability to cure diseases so in the spring of 1999
she too began to practice the exercises and study the Fa with her family members
every day. Within a couple of months, the leg pain that had been bothering her
for over twelve years disappeared. She also stopped smoking. She was very
excited. Seeing all of the positive changes in the young couple, Wang Xiaolun's
parents supported them whole-heartedly. Mr. Wang's entire family benefited from
his belief in Dafa, and everyone lived in the warmth of Dafa's mercy. Suffering from persecution after appealing and clarifying the truth In July 1999, the wicked persecution started. On July 19, Wang Xiaolun and
his wife went to Beijing to appeal and clarify the truth of Falun
Gong. They were illegally arrested by the police and detained in the
Fengtai Stadium in Beijing. That same night they were taken back to Baoding
City. The next day they were transferred to a Xiongxian County brainwashing
class and detained for several more days. The police tried to force the couple
to write a guarantee statement and give up their belief in Falun
Gong in order to get released. Ever since then, Wang Xiaolun and his family have
not had a moment of peace. When they were held in the brainwashing class, Mr. Wang's parents suffered
tremendous pressure. With the large-scale lies and slander on TV, combined with
threats from the village Chinese Communist Party (CCP) branch secretary Wang
Sanjiang, Wang Xiaolun's parents were forced to turn in all of their Falun Gong
books. Because their residence used to be a local exercise site, the village
security head and other personnel from Xiongxian County harassed them
frequently. One day, a deputy CCP secretary from the township went to their village. He
ordered Wang Xiaolun and his wife Guo Donghua to go to village head Wang
Zhangji's home, where the deputy secretary threatened them, and ordered them to
stop going to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. He ordered them to
guarantee that they would not go to Beijing. Wang Xiaolun refused to cooperate
with this unreasonable demand and replied that appealing is a human being's
freedom and right. Freedom of belief and the right to appeal are protected by
the Chinese Constitution, and are the basic rights of a citizen. The deputy
party secretary was irritated by his comments and left. At about 10:00 p.m. the next evening, security head Wang Yunxiang,
accompanied by several policemen from the County Criminal Division, broke into
Wang Xiaolun's home. Mr. Wang was practicing the Falun Gong exercises with
Donghua and another practitioner at the time. These hoodlums started to randomly
search the house, stealing the exercise music tape. Then they took the three
practitioners to the Criminal Division office, interrogated them for three hours
and released them after midnight. The next day, Mr. Wang went to his parents' house and learned that his
parents and grandparents had been worrying about them for the whole night. His
mother even got blisters all over her mouth due to extreme concern. They
couldn't help but cry when they saw the couple safe and sound. But several days
later, the Politics and Security Section head Zhao Shuhui from the county once
again brought two agents to Wang Xiaolun's residence to threaten Mr. Wang and
his family. The family suffered tremendous mental pressure, and their parents
and grandparents worried about them all the time after that. Wang Xiaolun left home to avoid further persecution On January 1, 2000, Zhao Qixue and others from Xiongzhou Township confiscated
the ID cards of all the Falun Gong practitioners in Wang Xiaolun's family. The
cards have not been returned as of today. On the afternoon of March 2, police
officer Zhao Shuhui led more than 20 people to Mr. Wang's home and asked if he
still practiced Falun Gong. Mr. Wang replied in the affirmative. Those lawless
people then arrested and detained Wang Xiaolun. The so-called arrest certificate
was issued and signed by Zhao Daping from the police station. Inmates in the detention center beat Mr. Wang savagely on the face and the
legs with wooden clubs. His legs were severely injured and he was disabled for a
month. During this period, his family members were forbidden to visit, and were
prevented from leaving any personal items for him. Wang Xiaolun's parents were
afraid that after working for an entire day, Xiaolun would not be able to fall
asleep at night. They tried to figure out some way to get him out of the
detention center. They did their best to find some connections to pay a bribe.
Wang Xiaolun was finally released on April 26, 2000, but the family was also
extorted out of 3,000 yuan. Including the money for bribes, his
family spent over 7,000 yuan. For a farmer's family, this amount is so large
that it is virtually impossible for them to earn. On July 20, 2000, the Xiongzhou Township Political and Legal Committee Head,
Guo Xiangdong, went to Wang Xiaolun's home to harass his family again. They
wanted to take Guo Donghua away for a couple of days and keep her during the
so-called sensitive days (July 20, 1999, is the date that marks to beginning of
the persecution). The police totally ignored Ms. Guo's daughter's pleas for her
mom, and detained Guo Donghua for two days. After they got a guarantee from the
family, she was released. On September 27, Guo Xiangdong threatened the young
couple again, saying that they had better stay home. In the afternoon, someone
from the township's armed forces department went to Wang Xiaolun's home and told
him that someone from the neighboring village was arrested, and that he should
be more careful not to go anywhere. Wang Xiaolun and Guo Donghua thus felt great
pressure. They decided that to avoid being arrested, Mr. Wang should leave and
hide for a while. Wang Xiaolun left home with his wife pregnant. He has been destitute and
homeless for six years now. After he left home, the party sent someone to his
home to arrest him. They failed to find him; therefore, the official harassed
his family members many times. Since they could not arrest Mr. Wang, they
arrested the pregnant Guo Donghua as a hostage. Village security official Wang Yunxiang brought Guo Xiangdong and some others
to Wang Xiaolun's home to take Guo Donghua away. Ms. Guo refused to go with
them. They then took her against her will. Wang Xiaolun's mother said,
"Please don't hit her. She is pregnant." Guo Xiangdong told his gang,
"Take her away. I'll be responsible for whatever happens." Hence they
took Guo Donghua to the Shilipu Police Station and locked her up inside a small,
dark and humid room. She was monitored constantly and was even followed by
someone during toilet use. Her family members had to send food for her. It was
harvest season and the family was very busy. The corn in the field needed to be
harvested, and the vegetables needed to be sold at the market. Wang Xiaolun's father became sick from worrying about his son and his
daughter-in-law's situation. Thankfully, some relatives eventually helped them
harvest the corn and sell the vegetables. Guo Donghua's mother had to send food
to her daughter every day. During this period of time, lawless people constantly
harassed Wang Xiaolun's sister and her family. The lawless officials detained a
pregnant woman for several days. After Wang Xiaolun decided to leave home, his elderly grandmother was
heartbroken and worried. She was so concerned about his safety that she became
sick. She was unable to get up for the entire winter. Prior to this, after
having begun Falun Gong practice, she had been healthy, and, as mentioned above,
had even quit smoking. She missed Xiaolun all the time and wished that he could
come back home. One day before the Chinese New Year in 2001, Cao Zhiqing, head of the Shilipu
Police Station, brought several people to Wang Xiaolun's home again and asked if
Mr. Wang had been home. They said that if he had, the family members were
supposed to report this to them. The whole family was very frightened, and they
all cried. The older people were unable to fall asleep for the entire night. The
next morning, Grandma did not get up for breakfast. She hid in her room and
cried. Guo Donghua forced to leave home with her son On January 23, 2001, Jiang's regime and his followers staged the so-called
"Tiananmen Square Self-immolation." This incident shocked the world
and deceived many people into thinking negatively about Falun Gong. Thus, the
persecution worsened. Persecutors from the CCP hired men from the village to
monitor Wang Xiaolun's home. At the end of February 2001, Guo Donghua gave birth
to a son. There were people monitoring her home even during the delivery. At around 2:00 a.m., two months after the baby's birth, some people banged
loudly on the door. Wang Xiaolun's father opened the door and more than twenty
men barged in, led by Guo Xiangdong and Zhao Qixue from Xiongzhou Town, and Cao
Zhiqing, chief of the Shilipu Police Station. One of them even carried a
camcorder. As soon as they came in, they asked Guo Donghua if she still
practiced Falun Gong. Ms. Guo said yes. Then she started to clarify the truth to
them. They attempted to take Guo Donghua away. Holding her baby, Ms. Guo refused
to move. By then, grandma had awakened. Seeing that there were so many people at
her home, she was frightened and began to tremble. Finally the men left. Guo
Donghua's family couldn't sleep from fright. The next morning, Guo Donghua went to find Wang Yunxiang, and told him not to
harass her family again. She said that doing so was not good for him. She also
talked about how her family had benefited from practicing Falun Gong. Wang
Yunxiang told the CCP committee head Wang Sanjiang about her coming to see him.
Wang Sanjiang said, "If she doesn't behave, get someone to deal with her
again." Wang Xiaolun's mother heard about this. She was very scared and said to her
daughter-in-law, "Quick, hide somewhere." Then, Guo Donghua took her
two-month-old son to a relative's home and stayed there for over ten days. After
she returned home, the family lived in anxiety and fear. From then on, whenever
sensitive dates approached, persecutors would go to her home and
harass them. The elderly members of the family cried every time they came. The night of February 4, 2002, Cao Zhiqing led several people to Wang
Xiaolun's residence again. They harassed the family and searched the house. He
threatened Mr. Wang's parents, "We posted a notice for your son's arrest on
the Internet. When he comes home, report it to the authorities!" In 2002, the evildoers became even wilder. It seemed as if their harassment
of Wang Xiaolun's family would never end. During the wheat harvesting season, at
past 10:00 p.m., three practitioners from Wangjiafang Village were taken to a
brainwashing class. Families were forbidden from visiting. They forced
practitioners to slander Teacher and to step on Teacher's photo. They also
demanded payment of a "fine." These morally bankrupt evil Party
members claimed they would come get Guo Donghua next time. Ms. Guo was constantly in a state of anxiety. She worked in the fields during
the day, and at night she took her son with her and slept in other people's
places. She was worried that if she was arrested again it would bring bigger
pain to her elders. The long-term psychological pressure became too
overwhelming. Finally, hoping to lessen the pressure on the elders, she left her
daughter behind, took her one-year-old son and became homeless. Prior to the Sixteenth National Party Congress, a wide search of people's
residences was conducted. Guo Donghua worried about her infant son being harmed
if she were persecuted. Her son did not have warm winter clothes. Enduring the
agony of leaving her son behind, she delivered him to a relative and asked her
family to take care of the child. Harassment continues; three elders pass away Wang Xiaolun's father endured a huge amount of psychological pressure under
the persecution. That, coupled with the hard physical labor he had to do, made
him seriously ill. He came down with esophageal cancer. He received treatment at
the Renqiu Hospital. Nevertheless, persecutors from Xiongzhou Town followed the
father to the hospital in hopes of catching Wang Xiaolun and his wife. They also
stalked Wang Xiaolun's younger sister, harassing her at home and monitoring her. Over ten days passed. Suddenly Mr. Wang's grandma died from anxiety and fear.
Her death was directly caused by the persecution. Every time they were harassed
in their home, grandma got so frightened that she couldn't speak. When they were
gone, she couldn't sleep. In addition, she missed her grandson and
granddaughter-in-law, and worried about her sick son. She didn't tell her family
that she didn't feel well, because she didn't want to add more trouble to the
family. She endured the mental pain secretly and passed away on the morning of
November 13, 2002. The persecutors stationed guards at the funeral ceremony and
the resting place, and kept watch. They were still trying to catch Wang Xiaolun
and his wife. Grandma's sudden death hit Wang Xiaolun's father and aunt heavily. Later,
with Dafa practitioner's help, the father started practicing Falun Gong. His
health improved; however, the persecutors didn't stop their harassment. During
the 2003 Chinese New Year's Eve, after midnight, the perpetrators jumped over
the outer wall of the family home and knocked down the door to the house. They
went straight in and woke up the sleeping parents. They intimidated them and
said, "Has your son come back yet?" Wang Xiaolun's parents and the
young children were so scared that they didn't know what to do. In the spring of 2003, the father's health was eventually restored. The CCP
agents still harassed the family often. Every time they were harassed, Mr.
Wang's father was so scared that he dared not to study the "Fa" or do
the exercises for several days. Father did all the fieldwork. Due to the hard
labor and continuous harassment, he suffered severe mental anguish and physical
discomfort. He became afraid to study the Fa or doing the exercises. Then, in
the winter of 2003, his old illness returned. He went to get treatment. During
the time of the treatment, Shilipu Police Station Chief Cao Zhiqing led a group
of men, including people from the 610 Office, to harass and
intimidate him for two consecutive days. The elderly man was very frightened. On January 29, 2003, the persecutors harassed them again. The old man's
condition worsened. On February 20 they harassed him once more. During the
critical last days of his illness, people from the 610 Office monitored him day
and night. On March 22, 2004, the old man died under extreme pain. He knew that
his wife's health wasn't good. Before he passed away he told his wife two
things: "You should practice Falun Gong," and "If you hear from
Xiaolun, you must not let him come back." During the two-day funeral proceedings, plainclothes officers were standing
around at the resting place, and inside and outside of the village searching
passing vehicles. Friends and relatives of the Mr. Wang's father were detained
and searched. On the morning of the burial, several police vehicles were
circling the village. They followed the family to the resting place and stayed
there, attempting to arrest Wang Xiaolun and his wife. The elder's death was a huge blow to the family, especially Wang Xiaolun's
mother and aunt. Mr. Wang's mother missed her husband terribly. She was
devastated from the deep sorrow, cried day and night and couldn't concentrate.
One year has passed since her husband's death and she still wishes for her
husband to come back. Prior to beginning cultivation practice, Wang Xiaolun's aunt suffered from
many health problems, including esophageal cancer and insufficient blood supply
to the brain. These illnesses disappeared once she began Falun Gong practice in
1998, and her health was good for a long time. When the persecution began in
1999 she was very frightened, especially after seeing what Wang Xiaolun's family
suffered. She was often worried about them. Even though her children were very
much against her practicing, she still did the Falun Gong exercises in secret.
Her health was good. However, Xiaolun's grandmother and father's death hit her
too heavily. Extreme anger and grief caused her not to be able to study the Fa
or do the exercises. Her old illnesses returned and she died on May 15, 2004. Only Wang Xiaolun's mother and his two young children are now left in the
family. Financially, they rely on friends, relatives and Dafa practitioners for
help. The relatives do all the fieldwork. To this day they are still being
harassed. In September 2004, several Dafa practitioners from Xiong County went
to Beijing and were arrested. The perpetrators made arrests all over the town.
Police officers from the Shilipu Police Station went to Wang Xiaolun's home
before dawn. In November 2005, the police went to Mr. Wang's daughter's school to
intimidate her. They also demanded the schoolmaster not to tell anyone about
them being there. During these several years, Wang Xiaolun's home phone was
monitored. The persecution is still going on. The above recounts six years of persecution committed by the CCP in Xiong
County against Wang Xiaolun's family. All of this happened because Mr. Wang and
his wife wanted to practice Falun Gong to be decent people. We hereby call on all righteous people in the world to pay attention to this
issue. Responsible parties: Cao Zhiqing, Shilipu Police Station head: 86-312-5791089
