- Ms. He Rongmiao is from Li County in Hebei Province. She had many illnesses prior to practicing Falun Gong. In 1997, she was fortunate enough to start the practice. Her illnesses went away and she had a very healthy body and harmonious family. After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun Gong in 1999, Ms. He Rongmiao and three other practitioners from her village went to Beijing to clarify the truth. They were intercepted by the police and sent to Baoding City in Hebei Province. Ms. He Rongmiao was then taken back to a school at Li County the same day. The next day, she was taken home by the CCP Secretary of the Political and Judiciary Committee of Xinxing Town in Li County Li Hefang and the Party Secretary of her own village. Her house was ransacked that afternoon. Dafa books and Teacher's pictures were taken away. On November 14, 1999, Ms. He Rongmiao and another practitioner of her village went to Beijing to clarify the truth again. When they were asking for directions to the Appeals Office at Beijing, plainclothes policemen took their identification cards and locked them up at the Hebei Province Liaison Office in Beijing. They were taken back and put in a detention center by policeman Chen Guixing from Li County and Party Secretary of Xinxing Town Zhang Yongjiang. The next day, the Xinxing Town government detained local Dafa practitioners. Ms. He Rongmiao's husband was detained for a night and illegally fined three thousand yuan. Their fourteen-year-old son had to stay home by himself. Ms. He Rongmiao was released after being detained for over fifty days. She had ten thousand yuan extorted from her, plus she was forced to pay for a meal that cost several hundred yuan. The police harassed her for several days and often stayed outside her home to monitor her.
Before May 1, 2001, Li Hefang, Dagui and Beiyan stayed outside the homes of Ms. He Rongmiao and another practitioner to monitor them for five days. During the 16th National Congress of Communist Party of China in 2002, the police went to ask Ms. He Rongmiao, "Are you going to go to Beijing? Isn't your Teacher asking you to go to Beijing?" Ms. He Rongmiao replied, "Our Teacher did not tell us to go or not to go to Beijing. It's our own decision whether to go to Beijing." A few days later, the police from Xinxing Town arrested her and put her into the Li County Brainwashing Center for more than ten days. Afterwards, she was transferred to the Zhuozhou "Legal Education Center" (brainwashing center) in Baoding City in Hebei Province. The authorities at the center told her family that she was treated nicely, but actually she was tortured badly. She was forced every day to watch videotapes that slandered Dafa. For protesting the abuse,610 Office agent Gao Xuefei slapped her face. She started a hunger strike to protest. Gao Xuefei and two other persecutors Xiaogu and Xiaoyu locked her and another female practitioner from Baoding City Number Two Hospital into a small room without heat or light. They force-fed them with hot pepper powder and beat Ms. He Rongmiao's legs and back with a torture instrument. They tied her onto a chair and force-fed her. After being tortured for a month, she was sent to the Li County Brainwashing Center for more persecution. Once a persecutor asked her, "Is the 'Tiananmen Self-Immolation' true?" She said that it was staged. That person then cuffed her and another practitioner Yang Jianhui to a tree in the courtyard and did not allow them to go to bathroom. They were cuffed for several hours while that persecutor played pool nearby. It was very cold in the evening. 610 Office agent Xiaohui handcuffed Ms. He Rongmiao's arms around a column of the building. One day, a person from Wan'an County in Hebei Province asked Ms. He Rongmiao and another practitioner from Wufu Village in Li County whether they would still practice Falun Gong. They replied that they would. They were dragged to the courtyard and cuffed to trees. Ms. He Rongmiao was handcuffed to a thorny bush so that she had to squat all the time. Ms. He Rongmiao was released later after her family was fined four thousand yuan without being given a receipt. Her legs swelled up after she went home. Her legs healed after she studied the Fa and did the exercises. Afraid that the police would persecute her more, her family members restricted her activities.
- Dafa practitioners Xiaoge and her mother-in-law from Hua Village in Li County were arrested and abused at Liwu Town in Li County. Zhu Quan ordered Li Junjiang from Nanguan Group in Liwu Town to beat Xiaoge with her husband's belt and humiliate her by groping her breasts. He said, "Do you know your husband's belt? Now I am using it to beat you. We have orders that it is OK for us to beat you to death." Xiaoge managed to escape with righteous thoughts after being tortured for a night. Her elderly mother-in-law was not released until the police extorted ten thousand yuan from them.

On May 13, 2000, Qingfang was deceived into going to Xinxing Town and illegally imprisoned there for over twenty days. Li Hefang tried to force her to denounce Teacher and Dafa. She was fined two thousand yuan and then released. On November 13, 2002, Qingfang and practitioner Ms. He Qiaojin went to Nandaliu Village in Li County to clarify the truth and were reported to the police by the Village Party Secretary Zhou Qingnian. Qingfang was arrested and imprisoned at the Li County Detention Center for a year. Two days after she was released, policeman Chen Guixing went to her home to extort money, but the family refused to comply. Out of revenge, he sent her to Baoding City for forced labor for two years. She was frequently harassed after being released from the forced labor camp.
- Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Chunyan from Li County was arrested and taken to the Xinxing Town by Li Hefang. She was pressured to denounce Teacher and Dafa and to sign a document to pay a fine.

Their family was so frightened that they sold their own food to pay the two thousand yuan fine. Li Hefang and Yang Yongqun led others to ransack Zhang Chunyan's home on the evening of December 28, 2000, taking away her Dafa books and Teacher's picture and sending her to a detention center, where she was beaten brutally.
