(Clearwisdom.net) I suffered brutal torture in the Zhangshi Brainwash Class on the afternoon of July 29, 2003.
At noon the guards gathered in the farthest room on the first floor. One guard said, "Out of the 22 practitioners here, you are the only one not yet reformed." Police officer Gu Yuchun said, "We don't need this many people. I could beat her to death by myself!" They started to brutally torture me. Li Baoyi kicked me so hard with his boots that the leather ripped. Wu Liguo fiercely pulled my ears, leaving bloody scratches all over them
They tied my hands and forced me to squat down. Then tied my neck to my legs with a giant soda bottle full of water under my neck. My nose and mouth were gagged so tightly with a towel that the skin around my mouth split open. I was almost suffocated. It was during one of the hottest summer days, and the guards covered me with a heavy winter cotton jacket. I was immobilized, squatting like that in a fixed position. It was extremely painful.

In such unendurable pain, somehow I gathered extraordinary strength and broke my hands free. I also tore the towel gag in half. I shouted, "Beating is illegal!" The guards pushed me down, twisting my hands behind my back. They again immobilized me into a squatting position. It was so painful that I lost control of my bladder. Later Chen Jie came to check me. Hou Wanquan said, "It's OK. Keep it up!"
They did not loosen me until dinnertime. My neck hurt, my mouth was bleeding, and my ears were full of bloody scratches. I had broken skin on my legs and hands, and my toes, which they had stamped on, had blood on the nails.
