Mr. Zhai is over 60 years old and a senior engineer. Because of his belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," the Shijingshan Public Security Sub-bureau and the Babaoshan Police Station have arrested him many times and sent him to the Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp in Beijing. Because he remains steadfast in his belief, he was deprived of sleep for a long time, and tortured with high voltage electric batons. Mr. Zhai was badly beaten.

While in the labor camp, because Mr. Zhai meditated with both legs crossed, policemen pressed his chest down towards his legs, and squeezed him under the bed board. He nearly suffocated.

After he was released, the local police continued to harass him. The police adopted the policy of implication (those related to him were also "guilty"). His family started to hate him and there was much enmity within his family. His relatives, who did not understand the truth, kept away from him for a long time.
