Ms. Guo Yinjie started to cultivate Falun Dafa in February 1999. Ever since then, she has been following the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" in her daily life and has benefited both physically and mentally from her practice. She is a respected figure in her community.

In September 1999, Ms. Guo went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. She demanded that the government restore Teacher's innocence and Falun Dafa's as well. The police arrested Ms. Guo in Beijing and later detained her in the Shunyi Detention Center in Beijing City. Ms. Guo started a hunger strike that lasted four days to protest the persecution. After being detained for more than 10 days in Beijing, some local police officers returned Ms. Guo to her hometown and detained her in the Kouqian Detention Station to be further persecuted.

In October of 2000, Ms. Guo went to Beijing again. She was arrested and taken back to her hometown once again. She was again detained in the Kouqian Detention Station, this time for three months. At the time, some policemen tried to force Ms. Guo to write a repentance statement. Ms. Guo absolutely refused. She was then dismissed from her work unit for one year. With no other source of income and with her husband unemployed as well, Ms. Guo tried very hard to find a job to support her family, but she couldn't find one. The police had already completely extorted the family's savings from them. At the same time, her child was in college and was in need of quite a sum of money. Ms. Guo had to borrow about 10,000 yuan from her sisters to support the family.

Ms. Guo took every opportunity to spread the truth about Falun Gong and with help from many people she eventually got back to her original work unit. She worked hard and responsibly and always treated herself as a practitioner. She got along well with her colleagues. She would always consider others first in her work and her daily life. During several internal restructurings in her work unit, Ms. Guo always volunteered to work in those areas where most people didn't want to be. Such decent manners and conduct caught the attention of the work unit management as well as her colleagues. They all praised Ms. Guo's admirable and noble conduct.

Some time in 2000, Ms. Guo tried to clarify the truth to a customer. Someone reported her to the security agency and several police officers rushed into her work unit to try to arrest her. Pressured by the security agents, the managers decided to dismiss Ms. Guo from her job once again. Even though she was not arrested this time, the police extorted around 5,000 yuan in cash as a fine. In 2003, Ms. Guo again returned to her work unit.

On the night of February 3, 2005, more than 20 security agents from the Yongji County Public Security Department and the Jilin Province Public Security Bureau broke into Ms. Guo's house and completely ransacked it. The house was in a terrible mess after the search. The security agents took whatever they wanted. They even stole coins that Ms. Guo's child had saved in a piggy bank and some dried snack food. They confiscated all of the Dafa books, all of the truth clarification documents, a computer and one printer. Ms. Guo was immediately arrested and sent to the No. 3 Detention Center in Jilin Province to be detained there.

During her detention, police officers tried to interrogate her several times. Each time, Ms. Guo sent forth righteous thoughts to resist such treatment. She also refused to answer any questions that the police officers asked her. Later, Ms. Guo was transferred to the No. 1 Detention Center in Jilin Province. She went on hunger strikes several times to protest the persecution and she demanded that she be released right away without any charges whatsoever. Ms. Guo has already experienced a lot of cruel treatment in the detention center. After she had been detained for more than half a year, her work unit leaders and colleagues visited her in the detention center. They were all completely surprised at the physical changes Ms. Guo had undergone during her stay in the center. Ms. Guo's features had completely changed. She became just skin and bones and her hair turned gray.

On June 8, 2005, the Yongjie County Court sentenced Ms. Guo to 6 years in prison without any proof whatsoever. In court, Ms. Guo told her story about the tremendous changes that she underwent after she started practicing Falun Gong. She told the judge that she was not guilty of anything as she followed the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," to become an even better citizen. Ms. Guo refused to sign the sentencing statement and was later sent to the No. 1 Detention Center again. When the family requested to visit Ms. Guo, they were told they couldn't see her because her case was still pending in court.

As the persecution has caused Ms. Guo's physical health to deteriorate, on two occasions when the authorities wanted her to be put in prison, the prison refused to take her. Despite her health, Ms Guo is being held and persecuted in the detention center and the authorities simply won't release her.

Ms. Guo's family is under enormous pressure. Ms. Guo's husband's diabetic symptoms have recurred and he is suffering strong mental pressure, as Ms. Guo can no longer take care of him. He has to self-administer expensive insulin shots. Ms. Guo's only daughter and her parents are in an extremely difficult situation. They will soon be unable to afford to care for themselves. When the parents learned of the illegal sentence, both cried and asked, "Will we see her again in 6 years? What a wonderful child she has been!" Ms. Guo's work unit officials, as well as many of her colleagues, have requested on many occasions to visit her. Many others are seeking to know about her current physical condition and they want to know what's going to happen to her next.
