Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Yu Guoxi was arrested by police from the County Department in March 2005 while at home, detained for one month, and sentenced to three years of forced labour. He suffered two years and three months of terrible conditions and torture in the Weiningying Forced Labour Camp located in Benxi City. He was released in July 2007 because he was severely ill. He never recovered after returning home, and died in December 2007 at the age of 56.

Ms. Guo Fenglan, 64, lives in Shuangcheng City. Due to more than three years of persecution while imprisoned at Harbin City Women's Prison, her body has become extremely weak and emaciated. Medical examiners stated that she has a brain blood vessel blockage, hypertension and high blood pressure, with a upper index of 200 and a lower index of 180. Despite her condition, prison administrators have still not released her. Recently Ms. Guo has suffered a relapse of oedema, causing her belly to become overstretched. She cannot eat and her stools are dry. If she is not released in time, it is very possible that her struggles to have a bowel movement could cause her death. Despite this, the warden and instructor of Harbin Women's Prison still force Ms. Guo Fenglan to sit as usual in a fixed posture for extended periods of time every day.

If the quota isn't met, the prisoner would be punished by having to copy the rules of the prison all night, put in isolation or forced to do aerobic exercises under the burning sun, prohibited from buying some of the relatively better food items, restricted in buying commodities, not be allowed to take a bath, etc.

It's a continuation of Chinese culture as a living entity rather than just as a museum artifact."
