(Clearwisdom.net)

Ms. Li Ying, a Falun Gong practitioner from Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, was 61 years old. She began practicing in 1997. After that, her health improved, and she often said that it was Teacher who saved her life.

In 2002, Ms. Li appealed for the right to practice Falun Dafa. Consequently, she was detained in the Xi'an City Brainwashing Center, where she was beaten and shocked with an electric baton. She held a hunger strike to protest the persecution, and her health was seriously weakened. After six months, a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official extorted about 10, 000 yuan from her family before releasing her.

After Ms. Li was released, she was monitored for a long time. A local police officer regularly called her and visited her to threaten and harass her. She and her family were kept under severe duress and could not have any peace. Ms. Li's health deteriorated, and she passed away on October 11, 2007.

Mr. Cui Chengming, a Falun Gong practitioner from Qicun Town, Xinfu District, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, was 64 years old. His whole family suffered serious persecution. His wife Zhang Guizhen was detained three times. On January 3, 2000, the first time she was detained, she was illegally seized by officers from Xinfu District, Xinzhou City and sentenced to forced labor for two years. On September 16, 2003, she was detained for 15 days by officers from Yuanping City. On July 27, 2004, she was seized by officers from Xinfu District and sentenced to forced labor for three years. During this period, Mr. Cui was repeatedly harassed by the authorities. Mr. Cui's health deteriorated and he passed away on November 21, 2007.
