They wanted her to stop practising Falun Gong.
Due to the cruel persecution, Mrs Li, who had been very healthy with a glowing face, could not even stand up. Later both Mrs Li and her grand daughter were released on bail after her daughter-in-law paid 40,000 Chinese Yuan [1 Yuan is approximately 0.12$]. Because she refused to stop practising Falun Gong, she was arrested again.

His body was hanging there for a whole day and night. During this period, his wife and son also received frequent harassment and threats from the police. Therefore, Yuanhe had to leave home to avoid further persecution for himself and his family.
On 3 June 2001 he heard that his elderly mother (Li Guozhen) was released from prison and went to visit her. Since his mother was under the police surveillance, he was arrested as soon as he arrived. Li Guozhen was also arrested. Later, she was released but there was no news about Yuanhe for months. On the 7 November 2001 there was an illegal trial held against 26 Falun Gong practitioners. He was among them, and sentenced with the others.
