Mr. Yuan Yizhi's Happy Family Devastated by Persecution
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Yuan Yizhi is from the
Ganjingzi District of Dalian City, Liaoning Province. He graduated from the
Liaoning Engineering Institute, started a small business and was leading a sound
life. His wife, Ms. Liu Hongxia, is also a practitioner. They have a
two-year-old boy. Since they started practicing Falun Gong, they have taken the
pursuit of fame and profit lightly and have been very happy. On October 21, 2007, a group of police officers broke into Mr. Yuan Yizhi's
home and ransacked it. They took away his personal belongings, which included a
desktop computer, a notebook computer, a printer, a scanner, a fax machine and
two cell phones. The couple was then taken away by force, and illegally
detained at the Yaojia Detention Center. The police officers ransacked
their home again several times and took away anything that was valuable. Mr. Yuan's two-year-old son had to be taken care of by his aunt. When he woke
up in the middle of the night and realized that it was not his mom lying next to
him, he would cry loudly. As soon as he heard the song "Mom is the greatest
in the world," he would cry out for his mom even harder. During the illegal
detention of his parents, Mr. Yuan Yizhi and Ms. Liu Hongxia, the boy had been
hospitalized several times due to an illness caused by stress and anxiety. Mr. Yuan's family members were outraged at seeing such a nice family being
broken apart. More than ten of them took turns visiting related organizations,
demanding the couple's release. On December 28, 2007, Ms. Liu Hongxia was
released. Mr. Yuan Yizhi is being held at the Dalian Drug Rehabilitation Forced Labor
Camp. Mr. Yuan is well respected by people around him for his integrity. He
doesn't talk much but always takes good care of everything that falls into his
care. One could ask, how does such a good person get imprisoned by his
government simply for believing in Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance? The nine long years of persecution against Falun Gong has brought endless
suffering to numerous harmonious and happy homes like Mr. Yuan Yizhi's. Now one
can no longer hear laughter from his home, and his friends cannot offer any
hope. Mr. Yuan's parents are suffering from poor health. His mother suffered a
stroke and cannot take care of herself. Now his parents spend their days in
tears. Mr. Yuan's little son often talks about his father's return, saying,
"When daddy comes back, he'll take me to the beach." In the cold of winter, Mr. Yuan's wife often takes the boy to the Dalian Drug
Rehabilitation Forced Labor Camp and stands outside the gate searching for her
spouse through the windows. The labor camp authorities have repeatedly denied
her visiting rights due to the fact that she is also a Falun Gong practitioner.
She told them, "My husband has done nothing wrong by trying to be a good
person. Even if all the doors are closed, I will still wait outside until my
husband walks out of here openly and nobly." In China, the persecution of Falun Gong is in its ninth year. There are so
many families that have been devastated. It has been difficult to keep
statistics on family members who have been killed. Even so, Falun Gong
practitioners have remained steadfast in their belief in Truthfulness,
Compassion and Forbearance, and persistent in clarifying the facts
to people around the world. The persecuting organization: Shandong Road Xinghua Street Police Station,
Ganjingzi District
