In 2000, Tian went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and was sent to a forced labor camp for a year by Wuyi Township polic station.

They broke the bridge of Tian Junlong's nose. His nose had to be supported by gauze afterwards and his chest was burned numerous times with cigarettes. He was sent to a local detention center that night and was sentenced to three years of forced labor. Mr. Tian was sent to the Weizigou Forced Labor Camp where he was cruelly tortured.
