(Clearwisdom.net) The Chinese Communist Party has persecuted Falun Gong for ten years. I recently recalled a fellow practitioner, Wu Junyang, who left us five years ago. He was young, righteous and brilliant. All the people who knew him felt pain in their hearts upon his death.
 Wu Junyang |
Mr. Wu Junyang started practicing Falun Gong when he was 22 years old. He finished reading the book Zhuan Falun in two nights, and the next afternoon when he took a bus to return home, and when he smelled cigarette smoke, he felt nauseous, so he quit smoking and drinking. He felt that Dafa was so supernormal, and he told his family, "I started practicing and will practice to the end. I will never walk the path of regression."
On July 20, 1999 the Communist regime began to persecute Falun Gong. Mr. Wu went to Beijing to appeal four times and was detained at the detention center twice. After he arrived back home he withdrew 10,000 yuan, which was his only savings, to make truth-clarification materials. After he was detained three times, he was forced to leave his workplace, so he lost his source of income. As a result he was forced to become homeless, and his life became very difficult. In winter, because he had no money to buy coal, he could not warm himself. When he saw the snow melting, he collected leaves and grass to maintain his life. He spent all his time validating the Fa and saving sentient beings. Most nights he was very busy and didn't get much sleep, sometimes sleeping for two or three hours. He also ate very simple food. He devoted all his time to clarifying the facts. Regardless how difficult it was to do so, he conducted himself according to Dafa's principles.
He wrote many articles exposing the evil and "clarifying the facts." His articles scared the evil. Many times he simply sat in front of his computer and typed what he thought, and other people felt his articles were fluent and strong. Minghui Radio broadcast his poem, "I Still Clarify the Facts to You." In order to help practitioners walk their paths well, he rushed about to cities and villages and patiently helped practitioners, and shared with practitioners. Due to his great efforts he brought along practitioners over a large region to catch up with the Fa-rectification.
At midnight on September 18, 2004, many policemen from Benxi City, Liaoning Province jumped into the yard of the house he rented. They broke the locked windows and jumped into his room from three windows. At that time Wu Junyang was sending forth righteous thoughts. They cuffed him and put him in the police car. They detained him in a small dark room at the Benxi Detention Center and tortured him. Each day the thugs beat him to force him to give them information about the truth-clarification materials production site and his fellow practitioners. Regardless of how they tortured him, he divulged nothing.
Mr. Wu's family requested to see him many times, but the guard did not allow them to meet with him. After he was detained for 54 days, he asked his family to bring an insulated warm-up suit to him. After he was detained for 57 days, his family was asked to sign a paper. When his family met with Wu Junyang, he was lying on a flexible bed in the corridor of the Benxi First-aid Center Hospital. Wu Junyang, who was previously heavyset, was tortured to the point of being skin and bones, and he had become blind. When he heard his family's voices, he said, "Water, water. Since they brought me here, they have not given me water." When his family saw this scene, they cried loudly. When they looked up, they found that the guards had all disappeared, including the prison doctor.
Wu Junyang knew that his family had no money, so he told his family, "It is unnecessary to cure me. Let's go home." When his family took him home, the entire process was only half an hour. Wu Junyang felt a severe headache, and could not speak, and later his speech was unclear. No one knew what kind of torture he had suffered. His former clothes disappeared and he wore only the cotton warm-up suit that his family provided for him. His body was full of scars, his left eyeball protruded, and one ear was black and purple. His neck could not be touched, his arms and inner legs were full of thickly dotted pinprick scabs, and his left kneecap was swollen and purple. He was unable to move, fainted from time to time, and appeared incontinent. He told his family that there were ten yuan in his pocket that were not his. He had his family give it to the truth-clarification materials production site. What a sacred heart he had! Even the policemen who knew his situation well said, "Wu Junyang is a good man. He is the No. 1 in Benxi City."
When a funeral was held for Wu Junyang, the police were very scared. There were many policemen and plainclothes officers inside and outside the crematory. Many practitioners were hindered by police from attending the funeral. They could not see Wu Junyang for the last time, and only watched this sacred lotus rise and rise.
