Shen Yun is a classical Chinese dance revival group. This incident shows the extent to which the Chinese Communist Party aims to control the Chinese people.
Police in Guangzhou Seize Tickets for Shen Yun
Performing Arts Show in Hong Kong
Mr. Yang Jun and his wife Li Jia live in Qingshan District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. They bought seven tickets to see Shen Yun in Hong Kong, and hoped to go watch the show together with family. They arrived at his son Yang Fan's home in Guangzhou, happily looking forward to the show.
CCP State Security agents and police found out about their ticket purchase via telephone eavesdropping. On January 8, 2010, five officers from Qingshan District Police Precinct of Wuhan City, Guangzhou City Police Department, and Panyu District Police Precinct stormed into Mr. Yang Fan's home in Panyu District, Guangzhou City, and forced the four to surrender their Shen Yun tickets. Otherwise, they would have been taken into custody immediately.
Mr. Yang Jun and his family had no choice but to give up their four tickets. His daughter-in-law is due to give birth in just two weeks. Meanwhile, the police demanded to know where the other 3 tickets were.
The following day, eight officers stormed Mr. Yang Fan's home to demand the other 3 tickets. They returned to harass Mr. Yang Fan repeatedly, demanding to know his parent's location. Mr. Yang Fan's family thus endured huge mental pressure, especially with his wife about to give birth.
