(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Su Shukun was 78 years old and lived with her daughter, Su Donghui. They lived in Changsha City, Hunan Province. Ms. Su heard about the Fa in 1998 and started practicing beginning in early 1999. She benefited a great deal from practicing Falun Dafa. The pulmonary emphysema and gastric disease she had lived with for decades improved. In November 2000, Ms. Su went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Dafa and was sent to a forced labor camp. She was subjected to various tortures, leaving her with deteriorating health. In December 2001, Ms. Su unwillingly wrote the Three Statements and was then released. However, she continued practicing and studying Falun Dafa.
Ms. Su Shukun also actively validated the Fa. In July 2002, her daughter was again illegally arrested and sent to a forced labor camp because of distributing Dafa truth clarification materials. Ms. Su was so devastated and exhausted by the ongoing persecution that her old illnesses returned. However, she still wrote a letter to her daughter, Su Donghui, at the labor camp. She encouraged her daughter to be a good person with righteous thoughts and a firm, unshakable belief in Dafa. Ms. Su Shukun died on August 8, 2003.
Mr. Liu Zhigang was a 52-year-old practitioner from Xian City, Shaanxi Province. He was a cadre in the Bureau of Commodity Inspection and Quarantine in Shaanxi Province. Many of his illnesses disappeared after he started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. In October 2001, Mr. Liu was abducted and sent to brainwashing sessions for more than three months. He was badly injured both physically and mentally. He expressed his intention to continue practicing after his release, but he was upset for a long time. Early in 2003, his wife, also a practitioner, was abducted and taken to a brainwashing center. In July 2003, Chen (surname) from the City 610 Office, Lu (surname) from the District 610 Office, staff from Mr. Liu's workplace and the deputy officer went to Mr. Liu's home several times on consecutive days to threaten and intimidate him. This caused serious physical and mental stress to Mr. Liu. His health deteriorated rapidly and he died on December 16, 2003. Ten days later, his mother (not a practitioner) died of sorrow after hearing the news of her son's death.
Mr. Hu Tianliang was a 67-year-old retired cadre from Hujiazhuang in Lingshou County, Hebei Province. He was formerly a director at the Beihuoying Vermiculite Factory. He was paralyzed and confined to bed before practicing Falun Dafa. Mr. Lu learned the Fa in 1997. After watching Teacher's lectures on video, he could gradually sit up. He was able to stand up and do the exercises after practicing for about 20 days. He was able to get off the bed and walk after two months. In less than six months, he was able to do some household chores and go to other villages to tell them about the Fa and study with other practitioners. After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, Mr. Hu was abducted by the County Security Department. They forced him to write the three statements and pay them 500 yuan. He was finally released with help from other people. As a result of the persecution, Mr. Hu lost the group environment for studying the Fa and doing the exercises. His body and mind were severely strained, causing his old illness to return. He was again paralyzed, confined to bed and died on September 10, 2005.

She was severely pressured into unwillingly writing a statement agreeing to stop practicing Dafa. After Ms. Wu gave up cultivation practice, she became very sick. She was sent to a hospital before the New Year in 2005 and diagnosed with late stage liver cancer, liver cirrhosis and liver ascites. She could not move and her family was preparing for her death. Some practitioners, hearing of her illness, came to her house every day to send forth righteous thoughts, and her health miraculously recovered. She could go up and down stairs, study the Fa, do the exercise and send forth righteous thoughts. Her family members, who were not practitioners, were very grateful to Dafa and the practitioners. Later, Ms. Wu was reported to the 610 Office by someone who did not understand Falun Dafa. Her family was threatened many times by the 610 Office staff. Wu Mingyan died on September 21, 2005.
