Ms. Wang Qiufeng, 42, was from Guluying Village, Dongzhen Township, Lincheng County, Heibei Province. In 1999, Ms. Wang went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong. As a result, the police arrested her and held her for over a month in the county detention center. The police also fined her three thousand Yuan, ransacked her house and confiscated her belongings.

On April 15, 2001, the police arrested Ms. Wang Qiufeng and several other practitioners while they were posting Falun Dafa truth-clarifying materials. She was held in the Ren County Detention Center where the director of the police station subjected her to brutal beatings. She suffered abuse for five months in the detention center. The police raided her house again and Hu Aimin from the Public Security Bureau extorted two thousand Yuan from her family.

Ms. Wang's family was poor. Her mother-in-law was chronically ill and needed constant medical care. Even though the family borrowed two thousand Yuan to pay Hu Aimin, the detention center authorities still refused to release Ms. Wang. Her mother-in-law's health worsened and she wanted to see Wang Qiufeng for the last time before she died. Evn after her mother-in-law passed away in May 2001, the authorities would not even let her attend the funeral.

One evening in 2002, the County 610 Office and the Township Police Station director, with about fifteen police officers, raided her house and arrested everyone in the home. They were released the next day, but the 610 Office and the police frequently returned to harass the family. Ms. Wang's health worsened as a result of the continual harassment and persecution. Not long after that, in February 2003, Ms. Wang passed away.
