Ms. Gu Yeming, 69, Died as a Result of Persecution in a Forced Labor Camp
(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Gu Yeming, a practitioner from the Chaoyang
District of Beijing suffered brutal persecution during her detention in a forced
labor camp. She showed the symptoms of encephalitis when she was released. She
was not able to walk well or speak clearly. She passed away on August 6, 2006,
at the age of 69. In 1993, Ms. Gu Yeming went through a series of chemotherapy treatments for
breast cancer. Later, she learned about Falun Gong through her friends and had
an opportunity to attend Master's lectures. She regained her health shortly
afterwards. She felt very fortunate to be able to practice Dafa and regain her
healthy body even though all of her fellow patients from the hospital passed
away. Meanwhile, she conducted herself according to the standard of
"Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance"and elevated her mind. In her
workplace and neighborhood, she treated people with kindness and was willing to
help others. She was recognized as a really nice person. After the Jiang regime and the Chinese Communist Party started to persecute
Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Ms. Gu went to appeal several times for Falun Gong
and validated the Fa with her personal experience. Even in that extremely
difficult environment, not only did she persist in her practice, but she also
helped other practitioners. In August 2001, since she refused to give up her
belief and kept doing truth clarification work, her home was
searched and she was arrested. She was sentenced to one and a half years of
forced labor and was sent to labor camp. Ms. Gu, already over 60 years old at the time, was deprived of sleep and
forced to do hard labor. At the same time, she was forced to attend brainwashing
sessions and suffered from mental torture. She was sent to a hospital when she
showed the symptoms of encephalitis. When Ms. Gu was sent home, she could not walk steadily or speak clearly, and
she responded to things slowly. But she continued to practice and kept studying
the Fa and doing the exercises. Her health improved, but she was
still not able to recover and continued to suffer from mental torments from the
torture in the labor camp. Ms. Gu died on August 6, 2006. |
