She was also beaten and cursed by the police and detainees alike. Because Ms. Lang sent forth righteous thoughts and refused to wear the jail uniform, Li Wen, a detainee in Subgroup 4, Group 1, beat her until her teeth became loose. She later had difficulty eating. She was never allowed to sleep before 11:00 p.m. but was forced to get up at 4:40 a.m.
