(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Gao Jun was born on May 6, 1972, and lived on Xinghua Street, Ganjingzi District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province. He started practicing Falun Gong in late 1998. After starting the practice, his previous illnesses including psoriasis, parotid gland lump, and gastritis all vanished. He also quit smoking and drinking, and thoroughly let go of his previous thoughts of committing suicide due to the failure of his career. Falun Gong saved his life.
On July 20, 1999, the head of the evildoers in China started to arbitrarily persecute Falun Gong. Gao Jun was beaten by the police for going to the city government to peacefully appeal, and was arrested and incarcerated twice.
When he went to Beijing to appeal, Gao Jun was illegally incarcerated for a total of three days in the Jinzhou City Police Department in Beijing. After he was sent back to Dalian City, Xinghua Police Station personnel escorted him to the Yaojiao Detention Center where he was held for a month. The police subjected him to forced labor and compelled him to write the guarantee statement. After his release Mr. Gao was further monitored and watched, and his daily activities had to be reported to the police station. Because policeman Dong Shiguo often came to his home to harass him, and called him in and verbally abused him, Mr. Gao became homeless in order to avoid further persecution.
As Gao Jun was a new practitioner when the persecuted started, he knew few fellow practitioners. So he had to stay in the homes of his friends or classmates who did not practice Falun Gong. Due to the persecution, Mr. Gao lost the environment for Fa study and exercise practice, and his lump returned and his health deteriorated. Gao Jun died on February 6, 2005, at the age of thirty-three.
