Dafa practitioner Liu Hongxue, male, 57-year-old, was a resident of Gangyaoling Town, Nanpiao District, Huludao City, Liaoning Province. He was the former Party secretary of Nanpiao District Sanitation Bureau. He was mentally tortured after he was kidnapped and detained in a brainwashing class. His physical condition declined steadily and he passed away at home in May 2000.

Liu was suffering from various chronic diseases and also a terminal, untreatable illness before he obtained the Fa. In 1996, he began diligently practicing and studying Falun Dafa and cultivated his heart. All diseases disappeared and he fully recovered, like a miracle. He often said to relatives and colleagues, "Falun Dafa saved me. Falun Dafa gave me a new life."

After Jiang's group began persecuting Dafa in July 1999, Liu was unreasonably harassed and persecuted. Many times he was kidnapped and sent to a brainwashing class and detention center. The second time he was sent to a brainwashing class, his physical condition declined. He was not allowed to study the Fa or do Falun Gong exercises and had to endure various mental tortures. He was later returned to his family and, as mentioned above, passed away in May 2000.

Some persecution facts:

  1. Illegal brainwashing: in October 1999, Liu was kidnapped and sent to a brainwashing class in the Nanpiao District for ten days; later he was kidnapped again and sent to Gangyaoling Town's brainwashing class for more than 60 days;
