(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Sun Fusheng and his wife Hou Xingzhi have been subjected to persecution and forced to remain homeless for four years.
Sun Fushen and his wife Hou Xingzhi are in their 40's, and they both initially worked at the cotton machinery factory in Lian Town, Dongguang County in Hebei Province. Sun was the section chief of the quality control department. He was very capable and took his job responsibilities seriously. After starting to practice Falun Dafa, his behavior was honest and upright. In this factory, the quality control department is a department with a lot of authority, and under normal conditions, the person who works in his position gets special treatment. However, Mr. Sun refused to accept any free meals or gifts. Each time when he traveled for work, the ticket seller normally issued a receipt in an amount much higher than the actual payment, so that the ticket buyer could pocket the difference. However, Mr. Sun always did things according to Dafa's requirements, so each time he corrected the receipt amount. According to the rules of his workplace, when they traveled for work, the hotel costs can be reimbursed, but sometimes the customer they went to visit would provide a place to stay. Normally people will take this chance to earn extra income by going to a hotel for the next stop and asking the hotel to add another day onto the receipt and get some extra money out of it. Mr. Sun never engaged in these dishonest practices that were commonplace at his place of employment.
Sun Fusheng 's wife Hou Xingzhi worked as the head of the accounting department and the deputy administrator in the finance department. She always refused bribes, which was quite unusual in her line of work in China. When everyone started to fix their dorm units, many of the workers tried to obtain cement from the factory they worked at. Only Sun bought his own. The bricklayer who fixed the house for them said to everyone that the people who practice Falun Gong are the best people.
However, good people as they are, they haven't had a day of peace since Jiang Zemin's regime and the Chinese Communist Party started persecuting Falun Gong. They forced the factory to send some people to live in their house to keep watch on them, in order to prevent them from appealing for Falun Gong.
In late 2000, Huo Xingchi from the Public Security Bureau in Dongguang County went to the factory to force the Dafa practitioners to copy words from a prepared article slandering Dafa. Sun refused firmly. The police wanted to arrest him, but other workers convinced them not to do so.
In the second part of 2001, Mr. Sun was harassed many times by the police under the direction of the Deputy Commissar of the Public Security Bureau and 610 Office member Wang Xijie, and the section chief of the Politics and Security Department Jiang Wanzhi. One day the police went to the factory to try to force him to write a "guarantee letter" promising to quit practicing Falun Dafa, and they handcuffed him to the heating pipes on the third floor. After they finished dinner, he was released to go home for one night to consider his decision. They said that if he refused to sign the guarantee letter again, they would take him away. In order to avoid being persecuted, he left his home and went from place to place. He would only return during the Chinese New Year holiday.
On May 1, 2002, under orders by the Dongguang Public Security Bureau, the authorities from the Lian Town Police Department went to Sun's workplace to arrest him and take him to a brainwashing session being held in the Agricultural High School in Dongguang County. Sun refused, so they called the County Public Security people to handcuff him and take him away. In the process, Sun's watch was broken. Three days after being sent to the brainwashing session, Mr. Sun successfully climbed over the wall and escaped. However, he was forced to leave home and go from place to place for more than four years to avoid further persecution.
The 610 Office and the public security bureau then went after Mr. Sun's wife, Ms. Hou Xingzhi. On Chinese New Year's Day of 2003, Ji Zhenwei, with two members from the 610 Office in Cangzhou, tried to force Ms. Hou to give up Falun Gong. She refused to do so, so they called for more people and tried to arrest Hou. Fortunately, Ms. Hou escaped and hid from them. In the end, her employer had to treat these law enforcement officers to a feast to settle things down, and before leaving they asked for each person to be given a case of barbecue chicken to take with them, before they were appeased.
On February 27, 2003, 610 Office agents went to Ms. Hou's place of employment to harass her again and to try to force her to write the guarantee letter. The continual harassment and threat of being imprisoned forced Ms. Hou to leave home, leaving her daughter and parents behind.
