(Minghui.org) After being bedridden for seven years, Mr. Wang Huaiyu miraculously recovered after he started to practice Falun Gong. Because of telling people his recovery story, he was arrested on March 29, 2020 and is currently held in Chaoyang County Detention Center.

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is an ancient spiritual discipline with meditative exercises. Because of its popularity in the 1990s, the Chinese Communist Party ordered the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999. More than twenty years have passed, and the persecution is still ongoing.

Mr. Wang, 32 and of Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, struggled with autism since youth. He developed a rare condition of weakness in his limbs in his early 20s. He was almost paralyzed and couldn’t do anything by himself. His doctors couldn’t figure out what disease he had and his family couldn’t afford expensive treatment either.

His mother took meticulous care of him around the clock for seven years, including feeding and bathing him.

Years ago, a friend of Mr. Wang's introduced Falun Gong to him. After listening to the lecture audios, Mr. Wang enjoyed a rapid recovery. He gradually re-gained mobility, and he could even carry heavy objects upstairs.

Deeply grateful for the changes that Falun Gong brought to him, he tells people about his story and urges them not to believe the propaganda spread by the communist regime. Because of his efforts, he was arrested after being reported for passing out materials about Falun Gong and sharing his recovery story with people in a park on March 29.

His mother, nearly 70, worried that Mr. Wang would be tortured in custody and was unable to eat or sleep well. Meanwhile, the police also threatened to arrest her as well, leaving her even more distressed.
