Knowing the Truth and Seeing People's Hearts
Xu is an 85-year-old Christian from Lei Village in Suning County, Hebei Province. In January 2000, he lost consciousness and entered a life-threatening coma. His daughters and sons began to prepare for his funeral. On the seventh day of the coma, he woke up during the middle of the night and said, "Master Li came to offer salvation to people. Anyone who opposes Falun Gong will not have a good future." Then he began to ask the attitude of his relatives about Falun Gong one by one. Later on, he magically recovered from his illness.
More Falun Gong practitioners went to Beijing to appeal from Duolun County than any other county in Inner Mongolia. Consequently, Duolun County is also the most persecuted by Jiang and Luo's regime. Twenty-six practitioners have been sentenced to labor camps and prisons. Many practitioners were injured and became disabled from brutal police beatings. The authorities also sent several hundred practitioners into brainwashing classes and detained more than 1,000. Countless practitioners have had money extorted from them. In April 2001, the only son of a Director at the local Police Department and an evil police officer received their retribution. They never came back up after jumping into a river in an attempt to grab a fish.
