Dafa practitioner Ms. Chen Hongping was from Canfangying Village, Beixinpu Town, Huailai County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province.

On June 10, 2001, while clarifying the truth together with her sister at the Donghuayuan Bus Station in Huailai County, she was arrested by the director and nine policemen of the Donghuayuan Police Station. The police hung her up and beat her savagely. As a result, she spit up blood, her entire body was black and blue, patches of her hair fell out leaving a piece of her scalp exposed, and both her legs were broken. Despite the fact that she had been tortured to a state of paralysis in both legs, the police still sent her to the Huailai Detention Center to be further persecuted.

The next day, the director of the Beixinpu Town Police Station, Liu Yufeng, deceived her into believing that she would be sent home, but she was taken directly to the Gaoyang Labor Camp in Hebei Province, without any legal procedure. At that time, her injuries were very severe. In the labor camp, she was intimidated and tortured by the police and criminals. Moreover, dozens of collaborators (former practitioners who have turned against Dafa under pressure) attempted to brainwash her 24 hours a day.

After one and a half years of torture, Chen Hongping was on the verge of death. On January 29, 2003, Gaoyang Labor Camp sent her to the local hospital and she was diagnosed with four serious illnesses. Not wanting her to die in the labor camp, the Gaoyang Labor Camp hastily ordered a policewoman to send her home the same night. After arriving at home, she was still in high fever and kept coughing; her heart failed to work properly, and she could not eat. On March 5, 2003, she passed away at home.
