Behind the Beautiful Tulips at Xinjiang Army Corps

May 29, 2007 |   By Ouyang Fei

(Clearwisdom.net) When I searched the term "Xinjiang Army Corps" [in Chinese] on the Internet, one of the sites I opened had pictures of beautiful red tulips. They were for the "Second Wujiaqu City Tulip Festival" held by the Sixth Farming Corps. Tulips are symbols of victory, kindness, and romance. However, behind these beautiful tulips, unthinkable crimes are happening in Wujiaqu City.

In August 2006, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Cao Aihua from Aksu City wrote information on withdrawing from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and on the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party on RMB bills in order to expose the CCP's crimes. She was arrested, and on November 1, 2006, she was taken to Xinjiang Army Corps Women's Forced Labor Camp located in Wujiaqu City, very close to Urumqi City, where the Sixth Farming Corps is located. The labor camp was built in 2006. On November 13, 2006, after being detained there for twelve days, Ms. Cao Aihua was tortured to death.

Ms. Cao Aihua once suffered from breast cancer, and she felt lifeless due to the endless chemotherapy. Her hair fell out, and her weight dropped to 80 pounds. Falun Dafa gave her a second life. After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, the miracle of Falun Dafa inspired her to go to Beijing, all the way from Aksu City, twice to clarify the truth. She was sentenced to forced labor twice because she spoke out for Falun Dafa and Master. Ms. Cao died during her third detention term.

Ms. Cao 's husband said that he saw a large amount of purple bruises on her lower back when he was washing her body. Ms. Cao most likely died of internal injuries. Her family visited police departments, the Procuratorate, the justice bureau, the Army Corps Prison Administration, the People's Congress, the appeals office, and other organizations to strongly request the killers be held responsible. The labor camp did not dare cremate her body immediately, so they stored her body in the funeral home.

On May 16, 2007, the Procuratorate and the Health Bureau, as well as other departments of the Xinjiang Army Corps, issued a joint resolution proclaiming that the authorities would cremate Ms. Cao's body if her family did not do so themselves within two weeks. Ms. Cao's family felt very aggrieved and indignant. Over the past seven years, while Ms. Cao was being persecuted, the police and justice departments extorted nearly 300 thousand yuan from her family members, leading them to go deeply into debt.

This tragedy is in stark contrast to the beautiful tulips blooming festively in Wujiaqu City. Tulips are the national flower of Holland, and they have a beautiful story. During World War II, the Dutch queen had to take refuge in Canada. After she returned to Holland, she gave 140 thousand tulip bulbs as a gift from Holland to Canada to express gratitude to the nation that extended a helping hand when she was in a crisis. We see tulips in Wujiaqu City, but we cannot see such spirit of forbearance, justice, and morality. Instead, we see a persecution of good people who practice Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.

Egregious crimes against Falun Gong practitioners are still going on at the Army Corps and Wujiaqu City.

According to an official Internet report from the Sixth Farming Corps in Wujiaqu City, in the middle of May 2007, the Nengken Street Neighborhood Administration Justice Bureau held an "education" session at Wujiaqu First Elementary, where the officials slandered Falun Dafa in front of 420 students. On May 16, 2007, the Wujiaqu City Xinhu Farm held a performance against Falun Dafa, which they said was to "create harmony in society."

The truth is that the labor camp guards have killed people, and the justice departments refuse to punish the killers and instead threaten the families of the victims. What kind of "harmony" is this?

Ms. Cao Aihua's tragedy is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to crimes committed by the Jiang Zemin regime in the persecution of Falun Gong. The CCP ignores the value of life, suppresses "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance", and harms society. Ms. Cao spread the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party to persuade people to withdraw from the CCP, and she was killed by the CCP for it.
