Life Renewed by Falun Gong, Man in His 20s Faces Trial for His Faith

(Minghui.org) Mr. Luo Zhiyin credits Falun Gong for turning him from a selfish and indifferent person, into someone who is caring and considerate, but he is being targeted for speaking out about his faith and is scheduled to face trial on October 29, 2021.

Mr. Luo, a Shenzheng City, Guangdong Province resident in his 20s, was arrested on September 26, 2019 after the police suspected him of putting up informational materials about Falun Gong. They ransacked his home and interrogated him at the local police station. They beat him about the head and tore his clothes.

One officer pushed Mr. Luo’s head between his legs to humiliate him. Another threatened to harvest his organs if he refused to answer their questions. (Editor’s note: The Chinese communist regime has killed Falun Gong practitioners for their organs since the persecution began.)

At 1 a.m., the police deceived Mr. Luo into signing the interrogation record, by promising to release him if he complied. After getting his signature, the police took him to Futian Detention Center the next day and held him there for three months.

The police submitted Mr. Luo’s case to the Nanshan District Procuratorate three months later and transferred him to Nanshan District Detention Center on January 8, 2020, where he has since been held.

The prosecutor, Gao Zhan, indicted Mr. Luo on April 14 and forwarded his case to the Nanshan District Court, after returning his case twice for insufficient evidence.

Zhang Guohui, a judge of Nanshan District Court in charge of Mr. Luo’s case, scheduled a virtual hearing for August 2020, but later canceled it, as he refused to attend the virtual session.

After over two years in detention, Mr. Luo is now scheduled to appear in court on October 29, 2021.

From Selfish and Indifferent to Friendly and Considerate

Born in the 1990s and the youngest child at home, Mr. Luo was spoiled by his parents. He was insensible, indifferent, and ungrateful.

He dropped out of high school despite his parents’ pleas for him to get a diploma. He didn’t look for a job afterward. He often stayed up all night and didn’t get up until noon. He refused to communicate with others and lived in his own world.

He became irritable and grumpy after his father passed away. During a quarrel with his mother, he became so angry that he smashed the glass in their front door, leaving his mother collapsed, trembling, and crying.

Mr. Luo’s mother often cried and didn’t know how to educate him. Her health deteriorated quickly, and she also passed away not long after her husband’s death.

Now an orphan, Mr. Luo became even more withdrawn and dejected. He was completely lost and didn’t know how to go about his life.

At this time, he was introduced to Falun Gong. Its teachings brightened up his life, and he began to open up to others. He became positive, considerate, calm, and strong.

He returned to school. After finishing his studies in Shenzhen, he found a job there and became financially independent.

In his spare time, he distributed information about Falun Gong and shared the story of how Falun Gong helped him, urging people not to believe the state-sponsored propaganda attacking the practice. As a result, he was targeted by the authorities and now faces trial.
