(Minghui.org) On February 25, 2012, many Falun Dafa practitioners from Tangshan City, Shijiazhuang City, Cangzhou City, Botou City, and Xuanhua County were arrested by the local police. Among them were Mr. Gao Yanchen and his wife from Yuantaizi Village, Jiajiaying, Xuanhua County. At 4 p.m. on February 25, police from Zhangjiakou Public Security Bureau, Xuanhua Public Security Bureau, and Jiajiaying Police Station barged into the home of Mr. Gao and ransacked it. They took away his child's computer, three cell phones, and Dafa books.

The Gaos have two sets of parents and two young children to care for, one of whom is only 2 years old. His wife does not have a job, and Mr. Gao has been working very hard to support his family. They are rather poor and so, to improve their financial situation, Mr. Gao was going to start a computer business. He spent a lot of time trying to get his business going, including registering the business and renting a storefront. He just recently borrowed money to purchase stock and rented storage space from his landlord. Just before he was to open the doors of his new business, the police arrested him and confiscated all of his merchandise. Even his landlord and his son were taken away to the local police station for questioning. They were later released. Mr. Gao's wife was also taken into police custody, interrogated and threatened. She became depressed, and their parents are also very worried. How will they survive without Mr. Gao?

Before Mr. Gao started to learn Falun Dafa. He was a thug who always got into trouble, which worried his parents. After learning Falun Dafa he changed and became a good son. He worked hard and he even got married. His wife was also nice to his parents. Although they were poor, they were quite happy. Who would have imagined that something like this would happen to them—he was just trying to be a good person.
