Mr. Niu had severe nephritis before he practiced Falun Gong. He had visited many hospitals but did not find a cure, and had to pay huge medical bills. His family had to borrow money and was in a desperate situation. After Mr. Niu learned Falun Dafa, he regained his health after several months of practice. Many of his relatives and friends began practicing Falun Dafa after witnessing his recovery, and his family life became harmonious.
After the persecution of Falun Gong began on July 20, 1999, Mr. Niu was arrested for appealing for Falun Gong in Beijing. For over ten years he had been harassed, monitored, and threatened, leading up to his arrest on December 9, 2009.
