(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Fu Yao, a music teacher at Nongfeng Middle School in Shuangcheng City, Heilongjiang Province, was persecuted several times by the communist regime for practicing Falun Gong. The police rounded him up using firearms in 2002. He was arrested again in 2004, taken to a mental hospital, and injected with unknown drugs. Much of his memory was lost for seven years. His wife was sentenced to prison. Pressured by having to make a living for herself, their daughter got married before she was 17 years old.


Torture re-enactment: Injected with unknown drugs

After he regained part of his memory Mr. Fu was able to describe his ordeals:

The riot police of Harbin City Police Department arrested me; my wife, Chen Yunxia; and my daughter, Fu Di, and took us to Shuangcheng Xinhe Hotel to be interrogated on April 22, 2002. During the interrogation, they tortured us to try to force us to sign a “confession” that practicing Falun Gong was criminal. They lashed my back and the soles of my feet with a leather belt, broke and pinched my wife's fingers with a bamboo instrument of torture, and insulted her and my minor daughter with vulgar language. The three of us were tortured from noon until 5:00 p.m., when we were taken to Shuangcheng No. 2 Detention Center.

Later, I was taken to Wanjia Forced Labor Camp in Harbin. I was not allowed to go to the restroom or drink water and was not given enough to eat. They put my quilt in the cellar and let me have it back at night. The quilt got so wet that I could squeeze water out of it. It was biting cold; having the quilt was worse than not having the quilt. I couldn't sleep for six days and nights. Meanwhile, I had to do slave labor, which was tired my eyes, and I had to attend the running training. Both my body and heart suffered from the physical and mental torture.

I was transferred to Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp six days later. The guards there used worse forms of torture. They shaved the heads of Falun Gong practitioners and forced nine of us to take off all our clothes and crouch in a row. They then ordered other inmates to pour buckets of cold water over our heads. The strongest person can endure 20 buckets of water. Usually, less than 20 buckets would make people faint from the cold. Those who were weak might never wake up again. This is one of the most malevolent forms of torture invented by Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp. People tortured to death like this won't have any marks on their body.

There are a total of five divisions in this camp. In the No. 1 Division, Li Jinhua is the head; Yang Jintang is the political head; and the guards are Xue Yuan, Qiang Shengguo, etc. The directors of the labor camp are Shi Changjin and Shi Yingbai. The head of the education section is Li Weixing. The head of the No. 4 Division is Hao Wei, and the political head is Wang Yuou. The head of the No. 5 Division is Zhao Shuang. When I arrived there, several practitioners were already locked up in small cells. To my knowledge, practitioners Zhang Tao and Zhang Xiangfu were persecuted to death.

Everyday, the guards forced us to watch videos slandering Falun Gong and to write articles against Falun Gong.

Sixteen months later, I left the labor camp on August 25, 2003. My wife was sentenced to three years of prison and detained in Heilongjiang Women's Prison. My daughter couldn't go to school because she was persecuted there. The school where I had worked stopped my salary. Due to the pressures of life, my daughter got married even before she reached the age of 17. I lived alone at the school. The school didn't allow me to teach. I had to sound the night watches for 200 yuan per month.

When I was having lunch at my father's home on February 24, 2004, Xu Huanwei, the head of Nongfeng Police Station; Fu Xingmin, the headmaster of Nongfeng Middle School; and others came in and arrested me and took me to Harbin No. 1 Specialized Hospital, which is a mental hospital. Four people used force to tie me onto a bed. Long Ying, a female doctor, injected me with an unknown drug. Soon after, I lost consciousness and was not aware of anything.

When I regained consciousness, much of my past memory was lost. I was treated as a psychotic patient and locked in a dark room with an iron gate and a window. Everyday, Doctor Long gave me injections against my will, and the nurse forced me to take drugs. I told the doctor that I was a Falun Gong practitioner and treating me like this was bad for both me and her, and for her to not do this to me. The hospital's telephone is 86-451-82426470.

After over three weeks of torture and detention in Harbin No. 1 Specialized Hospital, the people who arrested me took me home. Even now I haven't recovered all of my memory. I've had loss of memory for seven years due to damage from the drugs.

On the night of April 23, 2011, I recalled that on April 22, 2002, a group of police were chasing me through an overgrown field near Nongfeng Middle School and shouted that they would shoot if I didn't stop. I kept running. Suddenly there was a gunshot. My mind went blank, and the police arrested me. My daughter was also arrested. One of her classmates questioned the police, saying that Fu Di didn't break any law, so why were they arresting her. Instead, that girl got arrested, too, and was taken to Nongfeng Police Station. The police asked me where my cellphone was. I said I had lost it. They ordered several hundred of the faculty and students to search for my cellphone in that overgrown field.

The compassionate care and selfless help from Falun Gong practitioners warms my heart. Gradually I'm recovering my memory. I've personally witnessed the magic of Dafa.

Other Times Mr. Fu Yao Was Persecuted

Mr. Fu Yao started to practice Falun Gong in 1995 and went to Beijing three times to appeal for Falun Gong between 1999 and 2002. He was imprisoned twice and escaped once. The first time was when he was doing the exercises in front of Tiananmen Square; he was arrested and taken to Shuangcheng No. 2 Detention Center and detained for 33 days. The second time was after the 610 Office, Shuangcheng Police Department, and Harbin City Police Department ransacked his home and arrested him on April 22, 2002. He was sentenced to two years of forced labor and taken to Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp. He returned home on August 25, 2003.
