(Clearwisdom.net) Many people in Yupin County, Guizhou Province know Mr. Zhao Youde. The changes he showed after beginning Falun Dafa practice are so touching that the officers in the police station also admire him. Mr. Zhao Youde is a butcher in Yuping County. Before practicing Falun Dafa, he would do anything bad and would scare anybody around him when he shouted. He is a big man, whom even the police considered difficult to deal with. After he began Falun Dafa practice, he changed completely, and treated everyone nicely. He knew that he killed too many lives, so he redoubled his efforts to cultivate himself, and was strict with himself at all times.
When Jiang's regime began persecuting Falun Gong, Zhao Youde was illegally arrested. He was first locked up in the Yuping Detention Center. One evening a male drunkard was put into his cell. Upon arriving, the drunkard crawled onto Zhao Youde's bed and fell asleep. Zhao Youde had to sit up and spent the night without sleep. The next morning the drunkard woke up and became conscious of his surroundings. Only when the man got up did Zhao Youde remove the quilt that covered the drunkard. He found that the man's urine had wetted a large area of bed. Zhao Youde showed no annoyance but smiled. He removed the stitches from the quilt and washed it all by himself. That is only one of the examples showing his moral improvement after practicing Falun Dafa.
Cultivating Falun Dafa made a huge change in Zhao Youde. Additionally, his whole family practices Dafa and has obtained enormous benefits from the practice. His wife, Yang Jinmei, was bedridden for two years with a painful kidney disease, and she was dying. After practicing Falun Dafa, Yang Jinmei immediately became stronger. His child, Zhao Yun, got uremia and had terrible swelling of his head. The Second Hospital in Zhanjiang City, Guandong Province refused to accept him since the doctors said there was no cure for this kind of disease. With bloody urine, bleeding nose and mouth, the child was dying. By cultivating Falun Dafa he miraculously recovered.
Yet Zhao Youde has been cruelly persecuted by Jiang's regime. He was locked up and told he would be detained for eight years. He has been in prison for almost three years now, without benefit of any legal process, and without any reason for the proposed eight-year imprisonment. His family knew nothing about his imprisonment.
Zhao Youde's parents died one after the other, grieving over such wrongs, and having nowhere to appeal for their son's innocence. When their home was surrounded and Zhao Youde was about to be arrested, Zhao Youde's daughter cried, "You killed my grandparents and would like to kill all my family!"
Zhao Youde is currently still locked up in the Tongren City Detention Center, Guizhou Province. The telephone number is 86-856-5222177.
