Mr. Hu Weiping, an employee of Hengyang City Petroleum Company in Hunan Province, was a kindhearted person. On December 27, 2004, he died from complications of injuries he sustained during a beating by the state security police.

Mr. Hu, in his fifties, had been in good health since practising Falun Dafa. He was known for his hard-working, kindhearted nature. When Falun Dafa and its practitioners were subjected to wrongful treatment, he went to Beijing to raise public awareness at the beginning of 2000. He was arrested by the police and viciously beaten while in custody. The police released him after fining him over 6,000 yuan. Mr. Hu lost his job and had to make a living by working at odd jobs.

On the afternoon of April 16, 2004, officers from the Hengyang City State Security Unit broke into his home and abducted him. He was handcuffed and hung up, viciously beaten, and force-fed unknown toxic substances as the officers tried to pressure him to give up his belief. Mr. Hu almost passed out, and suffered from enlargement of both liver and spleen, and hemorrhaging in other internal organs.

The police also froze his bank account, making it impossible for him to get timely treatment for his severe injuries. Mr. Hu Weiping died on December 27, 2004 as a result of this police brutality.

It has also been reported that Zhou Yafang, a 30-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner from Hengyang City, was tortured and fatally beaten by the police. Zhou almost lost consciousness and was in critical condition. After being taken twice to emergency for rescue by family members, and spending over 10,000 yuan, Zhou died from police brutality at the end of September 2004.

Other Falun Gong students from Hengyang City who died from persecution include Zhong Yanzhong, a 67-year-old retired official from the Countryside Credit Union in Hengyang County, Chen Yuanmei, over 50 years old, from Hengyang City, and Yan Shaoyuan, principal of Xinmin Elementary School in Hengyang City.
