Ms. Chen Jinde, who is in her seventies, lived at Xiangdang Village in Taiping Township, Wuxue City, Hebei Province. On February 3, 2002, she went to Magan Village in Yuchuan Town to tell villagers there, "Falun Dafa is good."

Officers rushed to the site, and dragged her upside down from a mountain ridge. She was bruised by the gravel and tree stumps on the ground, and bled from cuts she suffered while being dragged along. Her clothes were torn apart and she could not help crying out in pain.
