The Furong Street Office hired two old men to tear down Dafa stickers and banners. May 13, 2003 was the 11th anniversary of Master Li's introduction of Dafa. There were banners celebrating the 11th anniversary on trees in Furong Street. As the two old men were trying to remove the banners with a hook, they were joined by another called Du.

Dafa practitioner Ms. Yu Lili saw some banners on the ground so she picked them up on her way home. Then Du asked Cui to run after Yu. After he caught up to her, he seized the banners, and threatened to send Yu to the street office. Yu Lili escaped with the help of kind bystanders. The two old men and Du also reported Yu to the 110 patrol police, so police officers went to Yu's home three times but did not find her. Several days later, out of kindness, Yu went to clarify the truth to the two old men, but the two thought Yu was seeking revenge and reported her to the police.

The next day, the Chengguan Police Station arrested Yu and detained her for 15 days, and extorted 600 Yuan from Yu's family. After the 15-day detention, Yu was sent to the Industrial Cadre School, and has not been released. Many Dafa practitioners are still detained at the Industrial Cadre School.
