Liu Xing was an employee working in the Fourth Cotton Factory in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. She went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong three times, and was detained four times. In 2000, she was sentenced to three years of forced labor education. While in detention, she was brutally tortured. As a result, she developed severe live ascites. In October 2001, the labor camp had her family pick her up because they did not want to take the responsibility should she die in the labor camp. After she returned home, the police station and street office still kept close watch on her. Her work unit also stopped her salary and her husband’s salary, causing great financial difficulty and mental pressure to the couple. On January 26, 2004, Liu Xing passed away.
Liu Xing’s husband Liu Yueyun was also a Dafa practitioner. He was sentenced to 4 years in prison, and is now being held in Baoding First Prison in Hebei Province.
