Ms. Sun Xiucai, aged 50, was a resident of Songlin Village, Songlin Township, Linqing City, Shandong Province. On December 10, 2000, she and another Falun Dafa practitioner went to Liangzhuang Village to distribute truth-clarifying materials and she was reported by a village resident. Ms. Sun was taken to a police station where she was brutally beaten by policemen Li Shaolin and Guo Yugui. They whipped her with belts, shocked her with electric batons, and punched and kicked her. Later she was sent to the Linqing Detention Center. Her health worsened every day. In order to avoid taking responsibility for her serious condition, the police hastily ordered her family to take her home. Sun Xiucai died on January 4, 2001.
