(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Li Xiaoping , a Dafa practitioner in her 30s, who was a retired army messenger, became an employee of the Shandong Province Television Station prior to July 20, 1999, when the persecution began. Because the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was strictly controlling television stations throughout China, they fired Ms. Li from her job without reason, ordering her to quit practicing Falun Gong. She refused. The 610 Office of the CCP pressured her parents severely. While her husband was still serving in the army; they illegally detained her many times. They took her to a "legal system learning center" (in fact a brainwashing center and a private jail), for refusing to be "transformed."

In 2000, Jinan City's 610 Office transferred Ms. Li to Jiangshuiquan Forced Labor Camp, where she was persecuted to the the point of insanity.

In the forced labor camp, she was beaten, and forced to remain completely still while sitting on a very narrow bench in a concealed cabin. She was not allowed to eat, sleep, talk, or see relatives. She was also victimized with harsh verbal attacks, humiliated, force fed, and psychologically abused, causing her to become mentally disordered. To cover up the CCP's crimes, Ms. Li's relatives were not permitted to see her for a long time.

When Ms. Li Xiaoping's parents were finally allowed to see her after going through numerous difficulties, she was already mentally unbalanced, near-death, like a skeleton. Seeing her in such terrible condition, her mother fainted from anguish, and her father wept. Her parents requested that their daughter be released on bail, but the CCP did not agree. The old couple even went to the Education Bureau of Shandong Province to tell them, while on their knees, about their daughter's serious condition, but even that didn't work. In the end, those in charge of the forced labor camp began worrying that Ms. Li might possibly die in the camp, and they finally agreed to release her on bail.

Ms. Li Xiaoping was taken directly to a mental hospital from the labor camp. A month and a half later, she was told that her husband was applying for a divorce in a local court because of his inability to bear the pressure any longer while in the army. Unable to bear this emotional upset, her condition worsened, and she ran crying from the mental hospital and roamed the streets. She was seriously injured in accidents with motor vehicles and stayed for a long time in Qilu Hospital.

Later, Jinan Court, under the control of the 610 Office in charge of Ms. Li Xiaoping's serious mental problem, illegally approved Xiaoping's husband's divorce application. Since then, her health has been unreliable, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and she returned to the mental hospital one more time. Now her parents accompany her everywhere. Her body is still swollen, her eyes are dull, and she is unable to carry on a normal conversation.
