Since July 29, 1999, when the Chinese government began persecuting Falun Dafa, Wang Bo has been outspoken in its defense. She had validated Dafa at school, and gone to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. In September 2000 she was dismissed from school. She had been arrested twice, was under surveillance at home and tailed whenever she went out.

In December 2000, she went to appeal to Beijing for the last time. When she unfurled her banner and proclaimed "Falun Dafa is good!" uniformed and plainclothed policemen swarmed her, beat and kicked her and put her into a police car.

She was sent to Yudong Police Station in the city of Shijiazhuang (her hometown). She was sentenced to 3 years in a labor camp.

When she was sent to Shijiazhuang Labor Camp the police took the 500 Yuan (about one month salary of an averaged worker in cities of China) she had on her person. Her parents were not notified what had happened to their daughter. The labor camp does not allow visitors to see practitioners and Wang Bo has not seen her parents over four months.

In March 2001, Dafa practitioners in her section and two other sections went on a hunger strike. Prison officials didn't want anyone on the outside to know what was happening, so absolutely no visitors were allowed at all. As a result no one knows Wang Bo's current status.

Wang Bo had studied music for 12 years diligently. Once she started practicing Falun Dafa her grades and performance advanced quickly.

Her college entrance exam scores were so high she was accepted to 3 different schools and she received a 1,000 Yuan scholarship. The teachers considered her very talented. Wang Bo felt she has deeply benefited from Falun Dafa. Instead of a promising career in music she is in a labor camp separated from her family.

Her parents, who are practitioners as well, have also suffered at the hands of the government. Wang Bo's father was dismissed from the party, lost 6 months salary and was detained for 21 days. Wang Bo's mother has been detained numerous times for over 100 days. She has fled her home to avoid further persecution. A family has been torn apart. They were persecuted simply because they persisted in their cultivation to become better people.
