Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Dong Cuifang, a graduate from Hebei Province
Medical University, had obtained an additional Masters degree (see photo 1), and
later worked at a hospital in Beijing. This outstanding doctor was tortured to
death at the Daxing Female Jail in Beijing on March 19, 2003 (this has been
reported numerous times on Clearwisdom.net). Her fiancée, Falun Dafa
practitioner Shen Wenjie (29 year old university graduate from Xingtang in Hebei)
is a pilot who worked at the Beijing Capital Airport. He started to practice in
1996, and was illegally arrested together with his fiancée while clarifying the
truth on December 26, 2001. They were jailed for one year in the Shunyi
Detention Center in Beijing, where they endured inhumane tortures. On March 11,
2003 Dong Cuifang was transferred to the Beijing Daxing Female Jail and Shen
Wenjie was transferred to a forced labor camp in Beijing’s Daxing district.
Eight days later, Dong Cuifang was tortured to death by three female police
officers. Regarding Shen Wenjie’s situation, the Chinese authorities have
tightened the information blockade, and we only know from insiders that he is
currently jailed at a forced labor camp in Beijing’s Daxing district.

Shen Wenjie is a farmer’s son, and like Dong Cuifang, he was a good
student with good character, and was praised by his teachers. He used his
skills and talent to gain acceptance into a university in Beijing in August
1995. In 1997, the Beijing Capital Airport went to all the universities
in search of potential pilots. After passing many tests, Shen was one of
the few chosen among thousands of university students, and his skills were
considered the best among the group that was chosen. His work unit sent
him to the United States for further training and he quickly became an outstanding
pilot (please refer to photo 2). However, the ten-plus American professors
and advisors who helped to train him could not imagine what things this
outstanding Chinese pilot would have to go through in China, nor could they
imagine that his fiancée would be murdered.
When practitioners were unfairly arrested in 1999, they both contacted fellow
practitioners to appeal in Beijing. On April 25th, they bought water and food
for out of state practitioners. On July 20, 1999 when tens of thousands of Falun
Dafa practitioners were arrested in Beijing and brought to the sports stadium by
the truckloads, they once again spent a lot of money to deliver everyday items
to practitioners through various means.
Because Shen Wenjie participated in the appeals on April 25 and July 20,
under the Jiang’s system of punishment, his work unit forced him to choose
between his work and cultivation. In the end, Shen Wenjie was forced to give up
his rewarding work.
During the second half of 2000, both were forced to leave their jobs in
Beijing. They traveled everywhere to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa to
people, in order to save them. They went to villages as well as cities. Wherever
they went, they brought the truth of Falun Dafa with them. During this time,
they were arrested and jailed numerous times in detention centers and police
stations, and every time they were able to use righteous thoughts to leave the
dens of evil. Once, they were arrested while distributing truth-clarifying
materials, and the unlawful police confiscated their cell phones and pagers.
They were continually persecuted and were very poor off financially. During the
most difficult time, they only had 20 Yuan. * They worked to support their basic
daily needs, and if they had a little bit more money, they would give it to
other practitioners who were also in difficult situations.
On December 26, 2001, they were traveling to a southern city to help some
practitioners who had become affected by the persecution’s lies. On the way,
they were turned in to the police for clarifying the truth on the train and were
illegally detained at Shunyi Detention Center in Beijing, where they were
tortured numerous times. Later, with the help of a kind-hearted person, police
reluctantly let them see each other once a week. Every time they meet, they
would encourage each other to believe firmly in Master and Dafa. Later, they
were forcibly separated again.
Dong Cuifang was transferred to the Daxing Female Jail on March 11, 2003 and
was tortured to death after only eight days. At the same time, Shen Wenjie was
secretly transferred to a labor camp in the Daxing district of Beijing and there
has been no news from him since.
Dong Cuifang and Shen Wenjie (see third photo) had been engaged for a long
time, and due to the persecution since July 20 1999, they were unable to get
married. They had been in love for almost 10 years, and hundreds of letters were
exchanged between them. Dong Cuifang has now been tortured to death, Shen Wenjie
has been unjustly jailed, and the lovers in this photo are now separated by life
and death. As far as we know, her fiancée does not know of this tragic news.
Dong Cuifang’s family once sued the Daxing Female Jail. The persons
responsible bribed their way out of this situation and have also threatened her
parents.
The persecution this outstanding doctor and pilot have faced is a small
reflection of the persecution that Jiang and his associates have brought upon
Falun Dafa practitioners.

in China is 500 Yuan.
