Falun Gong Practitioners at Hebei Industrial University Detained or Forced to Become Homeless

July 19, 2006

(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Wang Shaoqiu, a teacher from the Langfang Department of Hebei Industrial University, was illegally detained many times by the university. He was forced to write the so-called "guarantee statement" and was sent to a forced labor camp for two years. After he was released, he visited university president Duan Yuluan to ask for his job back. President Duan Yuluan asked him ruthlessly, "Is your mind reformed?"

Wang Shaoqiu said, "No. I am the same as before." Duan Yuluan said without looking at him, "Then come back again when your mind is reformed."

The university also tried many times to trick Wang Shaoqiu into attending a brainwashing class. Wang Shaoqiu had to become homeless to avoid being persecuted at his home. In late 2005, he was arrested outside the town and was sentenced for four years. His wife was fired by her workplace because she practices Falun Gong. She currently does not have any work and she needs to take care of her teenage child, her mother and an elder sister who is mentally ill. Her life is in a very difficult situation.

Mr. Wang Bingzeng taught at Hebei Industrial University, and he previously had a reputation for fighting with others. His leg had severe osteomyelitis. Each year he spent 10,000 yuan to treat this condition and remained in bed for two months. He felt extreme pain. After he started practicing Falun Gong, his illness magically disappeared. The school doctor thought it was miraculous. Wang Bingzeng was like a completely new person after practicing Falun Gong, and he was very kind to others. He always worked hard and never complained. He came to work early and left work late every day. Whatever tasks the leader assigned to him, he never complained and always finished the jobs perfectly. After the persecution of Falun Gong started, Wang Bingzeng did not give up practicing Falun Gong, so that the university stopped paying his salary and only gave him 200 yuan each month for living expenses. His wife was laid off. His children needed to go to school and his parents needed to be taken care of. Since this 200 yuan was not enough to maintain a living, he had to find temporary work outside the university. Even so, the university did not let him off. They went to his home many times to harass him and tried to deceive him into attending the brainwashing class. Wang Bingzeng had to leave his home and become homeless. To the present day, he has not seen his family. His wife has the sole burden of caring for their children.

Mr. Wang Xinying also taught in the Langfang Department of Hebei Industrial University. He worked very diligently and his work was outstanding. His supervisors and colleagues all praised him. In 2000, Wang Xinying was detained at the university because he went to Beijing's Tiananmen Square to appeal. He left the university but was found later and sent to a detention center for nine months. Later he was sent to the Bazhou Brainwashing Class to be persecuted. In May 2006, without legal documentation, Feng Guoji and others from the National Security Team illegally arrested Wang Xinying and sent him for detention. Mr. Wang has now been detained for two months. His wife stays at home alone to care for their children.

Ms. Zhang Cairong taught in the Langfang Department of the Hebei Industrial University. Because she did not give up her belief, the Langfang Institute Armed Police forced her husband to divorce her. She had to support herself and her child, who is under ten years old. Recently the 610 Office arrested her at her workplace and took her to a brainwashing class.

Ms. Liu Hehua was a temporary worker at the Langfang Department of Hebei Industrial University. Since she worked very well, everyone acknowledged her work. But she was fired because she practices Falun Gong. Recently she brought some clothes to her husband's younger brother Wang Xin. A policeman named Li recognized that she practiced Falun Gong in 2000, so she was interrogated and sent to the brainwashing class. Liu Hehua used a hunger strike to protest her treatment. She was then shocked and fainted a few times, and her blood pressure was very high. Her life is in great danger. Her husband, who does not practice Falun Gong, was very desperate. He drank all day at home under the pain and pressure that his wife and brother were both detained. The 610 Office also asked him to go to the brainwashing class to take care of Liu Hehua. He refused.
