Mr. Sun was detained three times and sent to a forced labor camp for a three-year term. His sister, Ms. Sun Lianping, was sent to a forced labor camp for a two-year term. His third brother, Lianjun, was sentenced to three and a half years in prison. His second brother, Lianfeng, was forced to become homeless to avoid the persecution, leaving behind two teenaged children to fend for themselves. Under pressure from Jiang Zemin's regime and the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), Mr. Sun's father, Sun Shutian, and mother, Tang Shufen, also suffered from the persecution. Among other insults, their home was ransacked, they were fined illegally, they were verbally abused, and they were forced to lie on TV.
