(Clearwisdom.net) Many common criminals held in the Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp in Harbin City served as spies for the guards to monitor Dafa practitioners. They often caused trouble and brought difficulties to the practitioners, cursing Dafa practitioners on numerous occasions. If they found the practitioners practicing the exercises, sending forth righteous thoughts or reading or reciting Dafa articles, they would secretly report this to the guards. The guards often assigned those common criminals to harass Dafa practitioners as well.
Common criminal Hou Zhenshan from Harbin City was very hostile to Dafa and Dafa practitioners. He often looked for excuses to curse practitioners. One day, practitioner Li Hongbin was hanging his quilt on the basketball court to dry it in the sun. Li Hongbin put the quilt on the basket frame, but Hou Zhenshan rudely intervened. Li Hongbin ignored his order, and later many guards came over including the chief of the labor camp. The chief interrogated Li Hongbin, "Why don't you follow his [a common criminal's]order?" Li Hongbin said, "Why should I follow his order? What gives him authority?" A guard then asked Li Hongbin, "So what gives you authority?" Li Hongbin said solemnly, "What gives me authority? I'll tell you, I'm being persecuted!" The guards had no word to answer, and walked away unable to reply.
Later, criminal Hou Zhenshan was transferred to the No.1 Division. He began to receive karmic retribution, suffering from serious illnesses within two months, and had scabies all over his body. No one from his family came to visit him, and the odor from his body forced people to stay away from him.
