The couple's only son, Lu Hai

Lu Hai, the couple's only son, is 12 years old. He is in junior high school. On March 31, 2009, after Ms. Li was taken away, the perpetrators from the No.1 Security Section of Jiangan District, Wuhan City went to Lu Hai's class. Despite the fact that he was in the middle of a mid-term exam, they forced the teacher to bring him to the office, and pressured him to tell them who had been in contact with his mother and what they did. Lu Hai could not take the pressure anymore and used the excuse of needing to use the bathroom to call his aunt to pick him up. Due to ten years of unrelenting persecution, Lu Hai has suffered severe mental trauma.

1. Engineer Put Behind Bars

Mr. Lu Qiqi, 46-years-old, is the state registered engineer. As the main technical person in charge, Lu Qiqi designed many local buildings. He is a person with a high moral standard. His boss praised him as follows: "Other folks come here to make money from the company; Mr. Lu is here to make money for the company." Mr. Lu started practicing Falun Gong in 1997 and follows the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. He always likes to help others. However, since July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started the persecution of Falun Gong. Ever since then, Mr. Lu has been repeatedly jailed and tortured.

Between 2000 and 2002, Mr. Lu has been taken by the authorities to the Sanatorium of the Wuhan City Police Department, the Wuhan City Second Detention Center, and the brainwashing center of Jianghan District in Wuhan City. For awhile, nobody knew his whereabouts.

During the first half of 2004, Mr. Lu was missing. In September, the family received an anonymous call and learned that Mr. Lu was jailed in Shayang City, Hubei Province. He was then transferred to the brainwashing center in Jianghan District of Wuhan for one year. In October 2005, Mr. Lu was sent to the Hewan Forced Labor Camp in Wuhan City.

In December 2007, Mr. Lu was arrested again, while distributing Falun Gong truth-clarification materials in Shenzhen City. He was sentenced to four years in prison by the Baoan District Court in Shenzhen.

2. Ms. Li Shihong Was Arressted Repeatedly

Ms. Li Shihong, 41 years old, had several jobs: She worked in a court, at a school, and also owned her own business. In 1997, after she started practicing Falun Gong, her heart disease disappeared. She is kind and selfless, and likes to help others without asking for favors in return. In the past ten years, Ms. Li has been determined in the practice of Falun Gong. However, she has suffered ongoing persecution by the CCP.

In March 2000, CCP agents arrested Ms. Li and held her for five months. She was illegally detained at the brainwashing center in Huangpo District, Wuhan City. In the brainwashing center, Ms. Li was determined to continue the practice, and she resisted the persecution. The perpetrators beat her brutally, and locked her in solitary confinement. Her face was injured from the beating.

At the end of 2000, without any legal documentation, the perpetrators broke in and ransacked Ms. Li's home. She was then taken to the Qiaokou District Brainwashing Center in Wuhan City. Later, Li Shihong was sent to an undisclosed forced labor camp for one year. During that period of time, her husband Mr. Lu was taken away, and later was forced to stay away from home. Their young child had to stay with his grandmother.

During the first half of 2002, Ms. Li went to court to support a fellow practitioner on trial. She was arrested by personnel waiting outside of the court and sent to the Baibuting Brainwashing Center. At this point, Ms. Li was brutally beaten to the point that she was near death. Her family took her home from the hospital.

On March 31, 2009, Ms. Li Shihong was illegally arrested again, and is currently detained at Wuhan City's First Detention Center.

3. Grandmother Ms. Song Arrested

Grandma Ms. Song, Ms. Li's mother, is nearly 70 years old. She was also arrested. On March 31, 2009, uniformed and plainclothes officers from the Jiangan District Domestic Security Division and Danshuichi Police Station drove two police cars to Ms. Li's residential building to conduct an illegal surveillance. At about 1:00 pm, Ms. Song came downstairs. The police rushed up, covered her mouth, and took her to Danshuichi Police Station. They took the keys from Ms. Song's pocket, and ransacked Ms. Li's home without any legal documentation. They took away the family's personal belongings including a notebook computer, a printer, and an MP4. They also stole 1,500 yuan cash and left a mess behind. Later, they hid near the house and arrested Ms. Li when she returned home.
