(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhou Zuofu, 57, was an employee of Ruichang City Linen Factory in Jinagxi Province. He began practicing Falun Dafa in February 1997. After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, he was persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party, and was arrested eight times by the police and the Ruichang City 610 Office. He was illegally detained, subjected to brainwashing, and sentenced to forced labor.

From January 26, 2001 to April 28, 2001, Mr. Zhou was arrested seven times. He was detained in a brainwashing center for three and a half months, and was sentenced to three years of forced labor. Mr. Zhou was severely tortured in the Majialong Labor Camp located in Jiujinag City. His weight dropped from 150 pounds to 90 pounds and he became extremely weak.

Even after the long-term torture, Mr. Zhou never changed his faith in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The guards put poison in his food, and then took him to Jiujiang City Fifth People's Hospital (for mental patients). The hospital refused to accept him. Mr. Zhou was taken back to Majialong Labor Camp. The ongoing tortures severely damaged his mind and body, causing him to suffer a short-term nervous breakdown.

On April 7, 2003, Mr. Zhou was finally released home, but he could not recover from the injuries sustained over the years, and his condition got worse. He died on March 6, 2007.
