Mr. Shu Shi, born on April 1, 1937, is a Falun Gong practitioner in Yakeshi City, Inner Mongolia. On April 29, 2008, he was arrested on a train and is currently held in Yakeshi Detention Center. His wife does not have a job and their child is about to drop out of school due to financial difficulty. Clearwisdom.net has learned that Shu Shi is now on hunger strike to protest his detention.

Shu Shi was once an employee of Yimin power plant. In 2003, he was sentenced to three years of "re-education" through forced labor.
