(Minghui.org) Ms. Sun Fengxia, 54, a Falun Gong practitioner in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, was arrested on February 17, 2016 and forced to sign the “three statements” renouncing her faith.

Threatening to take her to a detention center, officers from the Jianzhu Police Station in Harbin ransacked her home and confiscated many of her personal belongings, including Falun Dafa books, cash, bank cards, three printers, and two laptops that belonged to her son's business.

Ms. Sun Fengxia

After Jiang Zemin, the former head of the Chinese communist regime, launched the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, she began to tell people about the regime's violent campaign against the meditation practice. She was arrested and given three years of forced labor. During her detention, she was subjected to torture and brainwashing.

By the time she was released, her health had deteriorated. However, she recovered quickly after studying the Falun Gong books and practicing the exercises.

Cultivation Improved Health and Family Life

Ms. Sun was dubbed a “disease bun” and “medicine basket” in her neighborhood before she took up the practice of Falun Gong. At each meal, she could take only a few bites and had to stop eating repeatedly.

When she was four years old, she was diagnosed with tuberculosis. She often coughed, had low grade fevers, appeared malnourished, and often fainted.

Her father felt hopeless and threw her out when she passed out one winter. After being saved by an elderly lady in the neighborhood, she developed heart problems and had difficulty walking. She went to school only in the summer. Her routine doctor visits and medications became a heavy burden on her parents, who were not doing well financially.

When she became older, she married a poor older man from southern China. After having her second child, her condition worsened. She did not have money for treatments, and her children were in poor health.

A garbage collector saw Ms. Sun and suggested that she learn Falun Gong in 1997. The woman's husband had been critically ill, and her family had prepared for the worst. However, he recovered after practicing Falun Gong. Ms. Sun felt encouraged, so she gave it a try.

Before long, Ms. Sun regained her health. Her face became rosy, and she was able to do many things she could not before. Her neighbors observed her quick recovery and credited Falun Gong for improving her physical and mental health.
