Yixin Wang, a 61 year-old male, was from Guojiacun Village of the Gouxi Town of Fangzi District of Weifang City.

During this period Mr. Wang slept on the wet cement floor everyday. The only coat that he used as a cover on the floor was also stolen. Mr. Wang endured inhuman torture both physically and mentally, everyday. In the end he went on a hunger strike for two days to protest when it became unbearable. On the third day he was sent home. At home Mr. Wang could not take food, stayed in bed, and looked sallow, could not take care of relieving himself. Soon Mr. Wang passed away.
Zhihe Wang, a 62 year-old female, is the wife of Yixin Wang.

Her 14 year-old grandson was left at home, alone without any care.
During the detention period, Changchun Song, together with his hired thugs, heavily beat the practitioners on two occasions. They turned off the lights at night, covered the people with sacks, then the hired thugs started a thunderstorm of beating and kicking, shamelessly pinching and twisting the inner side of female practitioners' thighs, scratching and hitting, and kicking practitioners' lower body parts. The practitioners who were beaten were black and purple all over their bodies. Changchun Song once said fiendishly, "The XX party has no need to pay back the lives killed."
