By the end of April, 2005, Mr. Wu Chunlong's life was in danger from being persecuted in the Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp. The camp, being unwilling to take responsibility for his death, sent the dying Mr. Wu home.

Wu Chunlong

In the beginning of May, I went to visit Mr. Wu. I couldn't believe what I saw. Wu Chunlong used to be an energetic young man, but now his eyes looked lifeless and his face was pale. His left eye was red and the entire left side of his face was swollen from apparent beatings. He was also severely underweight, and his head looked big compared to his skinny neck. When I first saw him he was curled up against the wall covered in a bed sheet. He didn't register my arrival whatsoever nor did he seem to hear me when I talked to him. I felt horrible. A fine 30-year-old young man was persecuted to unconsciousness and couldn't even take care of himself.

When I went back to see him again the next say, he couldn't get off the bed by himself, and when he tried to walk he was unsteady and looked like he would fall at anytime. He was still not able to respond to me when I talked to him. It was as if he had lost all of his memory and thoughts. I felt he had become this way because when he went on a hunger strike in the Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp, the police added drugs to his food when they force fed him.

Through constant Fa-study and doing the exercises, Mr. Wu could start walking steadily and could eat again. The swelling on his face went down, and his face became rosy. Sometimes he could talk a little. He was reborn because Dafa gave him hope.

On the morning of May 19, Yin Xiaodong from the Songlin Police Station in Jiamusi City went to Wu Chunlong's home. Yin said that the forced labor camp wanted him to go to the police station so that they could record a conversation with him. Yin also asked Mr. Wu to report to the police station once a month and suggested that his father should take him back to the forced labor camp after he recovered. Yin forced Wu Chunlong to take a temporary resident ID and took pictures of him.

Wu Chunlong had just started to recover from the tremendous mental trauma, and now, after the threat from the police, he was terrified by the horrifying memories from the past. He was shivering just thinking about having to go back to the pain and all the brutal tortures. At that point Mr. Wu collapsed mentally. He ate less and less and didn't feel any hunger despite not eating. He could eat a little rice porridge, but nothing else. He suffered from diarrhea and his weight went down. Now Wu Chunlong has a high fever that doesn't seem to go away. He is short of breath and sometimes looks like he is in a trance. He always feels that he is still in the terror of the evil. For many days he was nervous and slept the whole day. He couldn't get out of bed and needs help from his father in order to urinate.

The Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp saw that Wu Chunlong's life was in danger again. In attempts to avoid responsibility they made Mr. Wu's father write a statement taking responsibility before they let Mr. Wu go home. The statement said Wu Chunlong's family would take full responsibility for his death if he died. His father, Wu Yongxiang, found out that Wu Chunlong was not conscious only after signing the statement and was very resentful of being tricked. The following is Mr. Wu's father, Wu Yongxiang's statement.

Solemn Statement

On April 30, Dao Yukun, from the forced labor camp, came to my home and asked me to write a statement taking responsibility for my son's life. I missed my son and really wanted to see him. I didn't know my son had been persecuted. I wrote down whatever Dao told me. After I finished, Dao made a phone call and asked two police officers to carry my son home. I regretted that I wrote the statement the minute I saw that my son was unconscious and severely underweight. I now declare that the statement is null and void! I must ask for justice for my son!
