Persecution in Henan Province: Father Repeatedly Arrested, 14 Year-Old Son Dies
(Clearwisdom.net) Zhang Xiaoruan, a Falun Gong practitioner from Wuzhi
County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, worked at the Yellow River Water Resource
Control Bureau. Because he believed in Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance,
and wanted to be a good person, he was persecuted during the past nine years.
His family was devastated. After the CCP began the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Zhang
Xiaoruan was dismissed by his work unit and lost his job because he insisted on
practicing Falun Gong. Yang Zhijun and other police officers from Wuzhi county
often went to his home to harass him. He was monitored by plain-clothes police
day and night. Zhang Xiaoruan's son, Zhang Wenbin, was dismissed from Xiaoyuan Village
School because he did not give up his practice of Falun Gong. In the village, he
was often abused, and laughed at by other people. He was badly hurt at such a
young age. He passed away on December 28, 2000, at the age of 14. Zhang Xiaoruan was arrested by police officer Yang Zhijun and others. They
took him to the United Security Team in Longyuan Township. He was illegally
detained there for over 15 days and was not allowed to contact anyone. In 2003, he was arrested again and detained at the brain-washing session at
the former Armed Forces Department in Wuzhi county. In 2005, Zhang Xiaoruan was arrested by officers from the Wuzhi police
station and the national security team while distributing truth-clarification
materials. He was illegally detained under the Laoqin River Bridge in Wuzhi for
15 days and was forced to watch videos slandering Dafa. On January 19, 2006, three to four CCP cadres from Longyuan township went to
his village to have a branch meeting. Zhang Xiaoruan went to expose what they
were doing. He was kicked and beaten by the village cadres on the spot. He fell
down to the snow ground and lost his consciousness. The cadres stopped their
meeting and ran away. Zhang Xiaoruan's wife could not endure the harassment from the police and
divorced him. May 2, 2008
