In July 2001, Luohu police arrested Li for making Dafa VCDs, hanging Dafa banners and broadcasting the truth about Dafa.

Li's wife could not find a job six months after she was sent home from the labor camp. She is living a difficult life with a very sparse income. Even so, the local police and public securities still monitor her and apply pressure on her by visiting her "because they care about her" and check her registration and notes.
