Mr. Wang Kui, a retired employee of Daqing Oilfield in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, passed away on December 22, 2022, after enduring two decades of harassment, detention, and brutal torture for practicing Falun Gong, an ancient spiritual and meditation discipline. He was 64.
Mr. Wang Kui
Mr. Wang’s mother died when he was little, and he often faced hunger as a result, which led to chronic stomach problems. After he grew up, he also suffered severe injury on his neck and couldn’t lift his arms due to an accident at work. He tried various treatments, but to no avail. After he took up Falun Gong in 1997, when he was 39, he regained his health and became a better person. When the police attempted to arrest him shortly after the Chinese Communist Party ordered the persecution in 1999, his supervisor at work said to the police, “He is doing a great job and living a peaceful life. He didn’t violate any law. Why do you arrest him?”
Mr. Wang went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong on November 22, 2000. He was arrested at Tiananmen Square and beaten by the police. He was handcuffed and held in a metal cage in the police station. After he was taken back to Daqing, he was detained for 36 days and forced to pay for the 6,800-yuan travel expenses that the officers incurred in going to Beijing to escort him back.
Torture reenactment: Sitting in a metal chair
Mr. Wang was arrested again on the evening of November 13, 2001 while putting up information about Falun Gong. The police stomped on him and beat him with a rubber stick. His teeth, shoulder, back and legs were severely injured. The police kept him sitting in a metal chair for 12 hours.
When the Dulitun Detention Center refused to admit him the next day, the police took him to the Longfeng District Detention Center. The guards slapped him in the face and injured him. The inmates also beat him and injured his back when he refused to recite detention center rules and insisted on doing the Falun Gong exercises.
After 30 days, Mr. Wang was transferred to the Ranghulu Lockup. He managed to escape two days later and was forced to live away from home to hide from police for the next three years.
Mr. Wang decided to go back home in early 2005 and returned to work. On May 18, 2005, the police deceived him into opening the door by claiming to be collecting his water bill. His home was ransacked. He was handcuffed and forced to sit in a metal chair at the police station. Then he was taken to the Longfeng Detention Center, where he was kept for 14 days.
Liu Xiping, the head of 610 Office in Daqing Oilfield, and Liu Jie, the director of 610 Office in Mr. Wang’s department, took him to the Wuchang City Brainwashing Center on April 10, 2011. A group of officers pressed him on the ground and handcuffed him. The skin on his hands was rubbed off. He was then taken to a dark room, hung up by his wrists to a metal pipe, with his toes barely touching the ground. The pain was excruciating and he was sweating profusely. The police didn’t allow him to close his eyes either.
Fu Yanchun, the head of the brainwashing center, verbally abused Mr. Wang and Falun Gong. From time to time, he came to pull his hair, slap him in the face, and stomp on his stomach, legs, and feet.
Mr. Wang was hung up for over 60 hours. His hands and feet were severely swollen. The handcuffs cut into his flesh, causing him to bleed. Only after he lost feeling in his body and fainted did the police finally put him down.
As a result of the torture, Mr. Wang became incapacitated and was unable to walk on his own. Yet the authorities kept him in custody for 118 days and didn’t release him until August 5. Upon learning that he resumed practicing Falun Gong, the police continued to harass him.
Mr. Wang’s last arrest was on November 22, 2020. His home was also ransacked. He suffered a stroke in the police station and became incapacitated again. He was released on bail in the evening.
Mr. Wang struggled to recover this time. He couldn’t move his right arm or hold objects. He also had trouble talking or organizing his speech. He fell again in early November 2022 and was hospitalized, but without much improvement. Upon returning home, he began to suffer mouth paralysis and couldn’t chew. His family took him to a rehabilitation hospital, but his condition continued to decline. He completely lost the ability to talk and faded in and out of consciousness. He passed away shortly after on December 22, 2022.
