After two meetings in Beijing, Chengde City 610 Officers and several others started to persecute the Falun Gong practitioners again. Their main targets were those who distribute truth-clarifying materials about Dafa and those who went to Beijing to appeal. They incorporated the persecution with the other duties of the low level officials. If Dafa practitioners were found clarifying the truth to the public, the related officials would be removed from work. They also forced these officials (in the community offices, the patrol offices, and the village commission offices) to do illegal things such as look for Dafa practitioners door-by-door and force them to write the "Four statements"(2), and have their families sign the "Guarantee Statement"(3). The police and secret service sent a lot of people to spy on or monitor practitioners and look for excuses to persecute practitioners.

9. [Beijing] Dafa Practitioner Xi Xiaomeng Is Abducted
At eleven o'clock on the morning of February 6, 2004, a person from the Residence Commission pretended to visit practitioner Ms. Xi Xiaomeng's house in Guangning Village, Shijingshan District in Beijing. In reality, this person went to see whether Xi was at home or not and quickly left. Soon after this person left, the Residence Commission led a patrol of police officers from the Guangning Village Police Station to break into Ms. Xi's house. They took Ms. Xi away on the pretext of interviewing her. Two police officers stayed and searched Xi's home after her arrest.
After Xi was arrested, her family was denied visitation and no one knows her current situation. There is no one to take care of her barber shop and seven-year-old child. Xi's barber shop was famous for the warm and inexpensive service. This was especially true for the elderly and children. Her acquaintances knew that she was a good person. She told people that it was because Falun Gong teaches her "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" and to be considerate of others at all times. She wanted to be a good person in everything she did and to be a selfless person who always put others first. Her neighbors have a very good impression of her; however, this kind and good person was taken to prison and is being brutally tortured.
