On July 20, 1999, the former Chinese president Jiang Zemin launched the campaign to eradicate Falun Gong. On the same day, Ms. Wang Xingjin went to Beijing to appeal to the government. The police officers in Shenzhou City who were specially dispatched to various regions seized her before she reached Beijing and took her back to her hometown.
