Ms. Wang Suzhen, 77 years old, and her husband Mr. Li Tingrong, 82 years old, were residents of Balinzuo Qi, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. They both suffered from many illnesses, but fully recovered after they started practicing Falun Gong. After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, the local authorities frequently went to their home to harass them. They illegally searched their home for Falun Gong books, forced them to write a guarantee statement to give up practicing Falun Gong, and further intimidated them by pressuring them to monitor each other. After their three daughters were sent to forced labor camps for practicing Falun Gong, they were gravely concerned They missed their daughters very much. Such heavy mental burdens and the unrelenting persecution caused the recurrence of the cancer that Ms. Wang had previously suffered. She died on December 25, 2002. After Ms. Wang passed away, the police again went to harass the family. They interrogated the weak and ill Mr. Li and forced to him to tell the whereabouts of a daughter who had escaped from captivity. Due to the long-term and frequent harassment and threats, Mr. Li Tingrong died on February 21, 2004.
