Case Description:
Ms. Zhang Lixin was a practitioner in her 50s from Changchun City, Jilin Province. Her long-term illness had completely vanished after she started practicing Falun Gong. She fully experienced the mighty power of Falun Gong. During the rampant persecution that began on July 20, 1999, Ms. Zhang felt great mental pressure. In particular, her younger brother was arrested and persecuted many times, and was brutally tortured. One day in March 2002, she learned that the authorities had again taken her brother away. The next day she died from an acute heart attack.
