A reporter and news crew from China Central Television (CCTV) conducted a staged interview at the Dongfeng Elementary School in Beishankou Town, Gongyi City, Henan Province in 2000. They also shot lots of footage inside Li Jucai’s home in order to fabricate false news. When the reporter videotaped the front gate of the elementary school where Li Jucai previously worked, other villagers who knew Li Jucai confronted the crew saying, "Why didn’t you videotape Li Jucai when his life was extended for more than a year by practicing Falun Gong after his ‘death sentence’ from terminal cancer? Who are you interviewing now after he's been dead for more than six months?
Many people on the spot raised questions, but the reporter could not come up with an answer. Soon afterwards, CCTV still aired the fabricated news saying, "Li Jucai died because he refused to take medication for practicing Falun Gong when he was sick!"
Li Jucai was in his 60s. He lived in Dongfeng Village, Beishankou Town, Gongyi City, Henan Province. He retired in early 1998 because he suffered from stomach cancer and didn’t experience any improvement after receiving treatment from numerous doctors. The doctors said that he would not live long. He started practicing Falun Gong in May 1998, and his condition improved greatly. His appetite improved, and his face turned from gray to a rosy complexion. He no longer needed his medications and was full of energy. He found a job as a gatekeeper at the Dongfeng Elementary School.
Jiang's villainous group started the nationwide persecution against Falun Gong on July 20, 1999. Li Jucai tried to appeal to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime and tell the benefits he experienced through Falun Gong practice, and that they should stop persecuting Falun Gong. The lawless officials intercepted him before he arrived at his destination.
Because Li Jucai was a member of the CCP, the local administrators constantly pressured him and fined him, trying to get him to stop practicing Falun Gong. Yue Tianyou, a local police station chief, ordered a group of police officers to ransack his home and take his Falun Gong books. They constantly harassed Li Jucai, intervened in his employment and forced the loss of his job. Li Jucai had lived through many of the CCP’s political movements, and he clearly knew that there was no way to reason with the CCP. He faced pressure from all fronts and could no longer take it. He tried to hang himself, but his wife and daughter-in-law saved him in time. [Note: The teachings of Falun Gong forbid killing, including committing suicide and self-injury.] Yet, the wicked local officials continued to pressure him nonstop and threatened him saying, "We’ll expel you from the CCP and fire your son from his job if you continue to practice Falun Gong." Li Jucai collapsed, and his family rushed him to the hospital. Revival efforts failed and he passed away in November 1999.
Li Jucai passed away due to persecution and yet, CCP officials known for their lies, viciousness and mentality to strike people down not only didn’t take any responsibility for his death, but they also lied about the cause of his death in order to deceive the public.
On November 25, 2005, a policeman by the name of He Xuejian from Dongchengfang Town Police Station raped two Falun Gong practitioners, Liu Jizhi and Han Yuzhi, who were his mother’s age, in front of another policeman. Mr. Wang Helin was one of the Falun Gong practitioners held there.
On May 20, 2006 at around 8:00 a.m., Li Long, the Village Security Officer, led Wang Huiji from the Town Government Office, Zhuozhou City, and an individual named Zhen to Xituan Village. They went to Mr. Wang Helin’s home where he was taking care of his seventy-year-old mother who had broken her right leg over two weeks before.
Zhen told Mr. Wang that someone from the town government wanted to talk to him. Mr. Wang replied, "My mother broke her leg, she needs help, and I cannot go anywhere." They were getting ready to change the urine-soiled bedding. Zhen said, "We will bring you back right away." Mr. Wang Helin wanted to notify Yang Shun, the Village Party secretary. He rode his bicycle to see Yang Shun, and Wang Huiqi and Zhen followed him with their car.
Yang Shun was not home. Zhen pretended to be talking to someone on the phone, then told Wang Helin, "Yang Shun is waiting for you in Dongchengfang Town." Mr. Wang believed him and got into their car. Mr. Wang noticed they were driving in a different direction and asked them to stop many times, but they refused. Their final destination was the Nanma Brainwashing Center.
Wang Helin asked Wang Huiqi, "Where is the committee leader?" Wang Huiqi pointed to the director of the brainwashing class, Chen Guiting, "He is the one." Chen Guiting said, "They brought you here, I will take care of the rest." Mr. Wang realized that he had been deceived.
Before Mr. Wang was abducted, the 610 Office in Zhuozhou City arrested Mr. Bai Xiuquan from Douzhuangxiang. On May 22, Mr. Bao Xiucai was taken from Zhuangxiang, and both Mr. Bai and Wang Helin were sent to the brainwashing center. The Nanma Brainwashing Center was not active at the time, and there was just Wang Helin, Bai Xiuquang, and Bao Xiucai. One night, a car came to the door, and someone shouted from the car, "Falun Dafa is good!" with a weak voice. Someone recognized the voice, and realized it was Mr. Dong Hanjie from Zhuozhou City who had begun a hunger strike ten days before to protest the illegal detention and persecution. The brainwashing center did not dare to take him and made the officers who brought him take him away.
Chen Guiting, Gao Xuefei and other thugs at the brainwashing center were unemployed people brought in off the street, who had nothing else to do. Each practitioner was also accompanied by a villager from his hometown. The villager’s responsibility was to prevent the Falun Gong practitioners from running away and to help "transform" them. They made 20 yuan a day for doing this.
Every day, Falun Gong practitioners were forced to watch TV and DVDs which slandered Falun Gong, and the center employees tried to force them to write the "four statements" (similar to the three statements). The front gate of the place was shut, practitioners were not allowed to walk to the yard, and the doors of the dormitory were locked at night. This made it very inconvenient for everyone, including the villagers sent to guard the practitioners. Villager Liu Jinhe, who accompanied Wang Helin, urgently needed to use the restroom, but the door was shut. He was pacing the room until 3:00 p.m. before he could go out. Another villager, Zhou Zhizhong, had diarrhea in the early morning. He had to use all his strength to wait until morning, when he could finally relieve himself.
The personnel in the brainwashing class generally had nothing to do. They played chess, card games, and gambled. One day, one of them said, "I lost 100 yuan yesterday." Sometimes, the personnel from the police department, Court House and 610 Offices also came to eat and drink. Yang Yugang from the Security Bureau talked with Wang Helin and asked him whether he was still practicing Falun Gong.
During the days of illegal detention, Wang Helin’s wife went every day to Yang Shun, the Village Party Secretary, to ask about her husband. Sometimes she went several times per day. Yang Shun had no choice but to go to the Town Government and ask for Wang Helin. On June 1, Zhen and Wang Yazheng released Mr. Wang. He had been held illegally for thirteen days.

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Guofang, who is in her forties, was from Daqing City. In 2004, she was tortured to death in Qiqihar Forced Labor Camp (formerly known as Shuanghe Forced Labor Camp). In the labor camp, Wang Guofang was tortured while in handcuffs, had the bottom of her feet burned with machines that emit heat, and was starved for days simply because she refused to give up practicing Falun Gong.
The labor camp was afraid that her family members would hold them accountable for her death, so they took the body to a hospital in Qiqihar City and created false evidence, claiming that Wang Guofang died from cardiac arrest. Wang’s family members found handcuff marks on her wrists, as well as bruises on her chest. When they demanded an explanation from the labor camp, the camp lied to them, saying that Wang was put in handcuffs because she caused trouble for the labor camp, and that the bruises on her chest were caused by resuscitation.

Mr. Li Ganlin is a Chinese language teacher in Longquan Middle School (formerly Duanchun Middle School) in Longquan Town, Jimo City, Shandong Province. His classes are always outstanding, and his colleagues and students, as well as the students' parents, think highly of him. However, because he adheres to the practice of Falun Gong, he was secretly arrested by Jimo City's 610 Office.
![]() Teacher Li Ganlin |
After Mr. Li Ganlin began to practice Falun Gong in 1998, he often helped students who were in financial need with money he saved from his salary. Besides giving his students knowledge, Mr. Li paid more attention to the principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" to guide his students to be good people.
Because he firmly believes in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," this well-regarded teacher has been unjustly persecuted since July 20, 1999, including being illegally detained, being sent to a brainwashing center, and being fined.
On his way home on Wednesday afternoon, June 21, 2006, Mr. Li was secretly arrested by officials from the Jimo City 610 Office and the Longquan Police Station. To date, his whereabouts are still unknown. It was said that he has most likely been transferred to the Jimo Detention Center from the Longquan Police Station.
The students who witnessed the arrest were justifiably very angry. Teacher Li Ganlin had just sent his students to take their final exams and then could not attend their graduation ceremony. Many students plan to go to the 610 Office together and ask the officials to release their teacher.
Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Han Zhe, also called Han Huibin, from Wanghua District, Fushun City, Liaoning Province, originally worked at the Casting Pipe Workshop of Fushun Special Steel Limited Company. He has been persecuted so severely that he is now mentally traumatized.
In 2001 Mr. Han, then only 23 years old, clarified the truth in his company and distributed truth-clarification fliers. He was reported to the company public security division by the Communist Party secretary Hong Fuhua. On December 14, the new secretary (by then Hong Fuhua had retired), Pan Suhua, along with Su Zhaoan, the chief of the criminal section of the company's public security division, and others illegally arrested Mr. Han and took him to Fushun City Reformatory. He was told that it was a month-long "study class" (actually it was for brainwashing), but he was imprisoned for five months and was not released until May 15, 2002.
During that period Mr. Han was brutally persecuted because he persisted in his belief in Falun Gong, and practiced the exercises.
At the beginning, he was forced to sit on a board every day
for more than ten hours. If he moved slightly, the criminals who
monitored him from behind would beat him. A criminal pointed at Mr. Han
and said to the reformatory director, Xu Hulie, "He does not eat any
meals."
Xu Hulie said, "Don’t you have ways to handle this?"
Thus, at Xu Hulie’s direction, several criminals took wooden boards and fiercely beat Mr. Han’s body and head. They then lifted him up and threw him to the ground. Sun Jiwen, the section chief of the administration section, used an electric baton to shock Mr. Han and at the same time he said, "You are so strong!"
After several days of torture, Mr. Han lost consciousness.
When he regained consciousness he was mentally traumatized. Only then was he released. A hospital examination concluded that he had become mentally unstable.
After his release, Mr. Han’s company fired him, giving him only a very small severance fee, without any benefits that would be given to other people terminated from their jobs. Workshop director Wang Changdai said, "Because Han Zhe practices Falun Gong, we should not give him a salary. These several months’ salary has been distributed to us."
Mr. Han often said after he was released, "This world is unfair. In the reformatory if you say one sentence, you will be beaten."
Details about the people who participated in Mr. Han’s persecution:
Hong Fuhua, former secretary of the Casting Pipe Workshop in Fushun Special Steel Limited Company, has already retired. He lives in the yellow senior-engineer building south of the company hospital.
Pan Suhua, the current secretary, has lost his position because of a company merger. He stays at home and does not go to work because of illness. His situation is unclear.
Wang Changdai, director of the Casting Pipe Workshop, lives on Xinmin Street, Wanghua District and has lost his job.
Su Zhaoan, chief of the criminal section of the company’s public security division, has been transferred to Heping Police Station in Wanghua District. His home phone number is 86-413-6657172.
Xu Hulie was the former head of Fushun City Reformatory, and Sun Jiwen was the section chief of the administration section.

Mr. Zhang Dequan, 71, is a practitioner from Jiutai City, Jilin Province. He was persecuted because he remained steadfast in his belief in Falun Gong. The authorities arrested him and ransacked his home many times. Zhang was also illegally sentenced to forced labor.
On the morning of May 14, 2006, local police officer Gu Xianghua searched Zhang’s home and found Falun Gong books and other related materials. Local police chief Zhang Yanhui and Zhang Yanchun led a group of people to Zhang Dequan’s home, where they conducted a search. Afterwards, they took Zhang Dequan to the police station for interrogation and detained him. They released him on May 24, but he was then sentenced to a forced labor camp for thirteen months.
Zhang Dequan and his family have been persecuted for years by their local police officers and street committee members. On the evening of February 9, 2002, local police ransacked Zhang’s home. During the same night, Zhang Dequan and his spouse were sentenced to fifteen days of detention. The police sent Zhang to the Second Prison of Jiutai City, and two months later Zhang Dequan was sent to Yinmahe Forced Labor Camp for two years. While Zhang Dequan was at a labor camp, local police and street committee members regularly went to his home to intimidate his family. They prevented Zhang Dequan from getting his worker’s pension, and they also prohibited Zhang’s children from going to school, rendering them unable to graduate. They used intimidation to continuously create obstacles and harass Zhang’s family.

On May 6, 2006, corrupt agents associated with the 610 Office State Security Team in Laizhou City, Shandong Province arrested Mr. Pan Yujun from Beizhuang Village, Tushan Town, Mr. Sun Shouyu from Beisunjia Village, and many other Falun Gong practitioners. The police agents took them to Dianzi Forced Brainwashing Center. Mr. Sun Shouyu escaped the following day, but he was rendered homeless. The other practitioners were transferred to Laizhou Detention Center. They began a hunger strike and suffered brutal force-feeding, administered by the prison doctor.
Mr. Sun Guode, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Tushan Town, took police from the 610 Office to Mr. Sun Shouyu’s home for the arrest. The police ransacked Mr. Sun’s home illegally and stole a portable computer, a printer, Falun Gong books and Falun Gong truth-clarification materials. Although Mr. Sun Shouyu had disappeared, the police continued to break into his home and harass his family.
It was reported that four Falun Gong practitioners in Laizhou City were arrested and taken to Wangcun Forced Labor Camp. The camp did not accept them. At this time, the four practitioners are detained in Laizhou Detention Center.

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Mie Xinmei was born on October 8, 1971. In March 1999, she started working for the Dongying City Branch of China Bank. After she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in October 2000, she was detained for one month at the Dongying City Detention Center (October 4, 2000 to November 5, 2000). She was dismissed from her job as soon as she was released from the detention center, and they stopped paying her salary. In mid-December 2000, Dongying City Branch CCP Secretary Liu Qingyong (male) threatened Ms. Mie Xinmei that he would begin job dismissal procedures. Under huge pressure, Ms. Mie Xinmei filled out a form applying for early retirement, but clearly stated in the "reason" block, that her retiring was related to practicing Falun Gong. She left the bank soon after.
In late March 2005, Ms. Mie Xinmei learned that the Chinese Communist Party passed down a document on June 7, 2001, that clearly stated to not allow dismissed or early retired employees with the excuse they practiced Falun Gong. Ms. Mie Xinmei appealed her case to the Dongying City Arbitration Committee on May 11, 2005. The result was that the committee thought Ms. Mie Xinmei filed the case past the arbitration deadline, although she did not. Ms. Mie Xinmei then appealed her case to the Dongying District Court, but it failed. She also appealed to the Dongying City Court, but lost the case and was sentenced.
