Mr. Guan Mingde from Changchun City, Jilin Province Died of Injury at 38 in 2001
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Guan Mingde from Changchun
City, Jilin Province was tortured to death at the age of 38 in February 2001. Mr. Guan Mingde had a master's degree, and was employed as the Electronic
Education Research Department Chairman by the Changchun City Armored Forces
Institute of Technology. As a colonel, he was awarded with the honor of
"Teaching Excellence" from the Army. Before cultivating in Falun Dafa, Mr. Guan Mingde was physically weak and had
several chronic diseases. Soon after he started cultivating he became very
strong, and volunteered to be the assistant in a large scale Fa-study group. In
addition to leading the group, studying the Fa well, and doing the exercises
well, he often used his own money to print Teacher's new articles for the
practitioners in the group. He did a very good job and everyone treasured the
books he made for them. After July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin used his authority over the Army to order
all Falun Dafa practitioners enrolled in the Army to retire or change to
civilian jobs. Mr. Guan was already retired and employed by Northeast Normal
University as a technician in the Information Center. At the end of 2000, Mr.
Guan went to Beijing to validate Falun Dafa. He unfurled a banner that said,
"Falun Dafa is good" on Tiananmen Square, and shouted from the bottom
of his heart for all his fellow practitioners. He was arrested right away. There
were several buses full of arrested practitioners. In order for an elderly
practitioner to stay on the same bus with her son, Mr. Guan got on a different
bus from his fellow practitioners, and they were all sent to different places. While being detained, Mr. Guan Mingde refused to cooperate with the police.
He refused to report the name of his employer. He was heinously beaten and
tortured. The method in which he was beaten is still unknown. There was a large
crack on his head and his flesh was split apart, exposing his skull. Within
eight or nine days, he was dying. His younger brother, who is from the Inner
Mongolia Autonomous region, heard that he went to Beijing and went there to look
for him. He finally found him in Beijing and took him back to Changchun City.
The brother had more than one hundred thousand yuan cash extorted
from him by the police. Seeing Mr. Guan's swollen head, deformed face, and blank
look, even the policemen on the train asked, "Why was he beaten to such an
extreme?" With thirteen stitches in his head, Mr. Guan was surviving, but he could not
eat or drink any water. He was severely swollen and lived by intravenous
injections. He was also suffering from a mental breakdown, and was sometimes
unable to recognize his family members. The Northeast Normal University Administration heard that he practiced Falun
Dafa and ended his contract. The Affiliated Elementary School refused to enroll
his child. Mr. Guan died in February 2001, as a result of the injuries he
suffered at the hands of the police. January 27, 2007
