In 2018, Lu Kaili was released from a 13-year prison sentence a changed man. An accident left him paralyzed from the waist down, while years of torture at the hands of prison guards had weakened his entire body.
All this because in 2005, the former construction engineer helped hijack a Chinese cable television broadcast to play a documentary exposing the communist regime’s history of murder and deceit.
Lu’s condition has meant that he’s had to rely on family in northeastern China’s Liaoning Province for many of his everyday activities.

About a month ago, Lu’s wife Sun Yan came home in the evening to find that Lu, 57, had vanished.
Sun asked around for an entire day before learning that police had raided their home while she was away and took her husband to a detention center. When Lu’s family went to the center, they saw a police car rushing out from the side, carrying Lu away.
This incident was reported on Minghui.org, a U.S.-based website tracking the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Like the seven other people involved in the 2005 television interception, Lu is an adherent of Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline consisting of slow meditative exercises and a set of moral teachings. In 1999, the group found itself in the crosshairs of an expansive elimination campaign launched by the CCP. Since then, an estimated 100 million adherents in China have become targets of detention, imprisonment, torture, and organ harvesting.
Lu’s family friend Yang Chunhua, also a Falun Gong adherent, was shocked to find out about Lu’s recent detention. Yang, who currently resides in New York, learned about the news from reading Minghui.org.
Yang’s sister was also jailed for taking part in the television interception. She died at home not long after being released from a seven-year prison sentence. Years before that, Yang also lost her mother to persecution.
Lu’s wife, Sun, a former kindergarten teacher, is also a Falun Gong adherent. She was also jailed multiple times for protesting and spreading information about the persecution.
From the start of the persecution to Lu’s release in 2018, the husband and wife have spent less than one month together, Yang said.
Sun was also sexually abused in prison, according to Yang. Sun once stayed at Yang’s apartment for a few days after she was released from prison to avoid stalking and harassment from police.
Yang recalled her landlord telling her, “Don’t take in Falun Gong people here.” Sun overheard them and then moved out without telling Yang.
According to multiple reports on Minghui.org, Lu went through severe torture at three prisons he was held at over the 13-year sentence.
Guards shocked him with high voltage electric batons until Lu’s body was covered in large burn scars. He was locked in a cell by himself and fed pig food for days on end. The muscles on his legs shriveled from being chained up long term. As part of the prison slave labor system, Lu worked on cornfields, quarries, and construction sites for long hours each day.
In one incident, Lu fell from a rooftop while working at a construction site in the early morning in August 2010. A day earlier, he had been shocked with electric batons for four hours straight.
After this, prison officials blocked reporters and Lu’s family from visiting him for 14 months. When his family was finally able to see him, another prisoner carried Lu out on his back. Lu could no longer stand up. He wasn’t able to talk to his family for more than ten minutes as he was so weak. Sun wept at the scene before he was taken back again.
Yang currently has no contact with either Lu or Sun. She worries deeply about the two of them and all other Falun Gong adherents still in China.
“I don’t want them to lose their life like my sister,” Yang said.
According to Minghui.org, Lu was transferred to the Dalian Yaojia detention center on June 25, where he is still being held.

Dec. 31, 2021 | By Minghui correspondent He Ping in Sweden
(Minghui.org) With the year 2022 around the corner, Swedish Falun Dafa practitioner Filip wished to send his most sincere greetings and gratitude to the founder of Falun Dafa, Mr. Li Hongzhi. “Thank you, Master! Happy New Year!” he said.
Filip wishes Falun Dafa’s founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, a Happy New Year.
Filip 30, lives with his wife in his hometown, Finspång, in the south of Sweden. He is an equipment technician at a local large-scale energy company. He is big and tall and friendly. He is very popular among his family and friends. They all know that he practices and that Falun Dafa helped him get rid of the pain and troubles that plagued him for years. He now has a new lease on life.
Filip explained that life wasn’t always so smooth. “The year 2014 was a turning point in my life. The bad experiences that I went through caused my body to be in very bad shape. I was plagued with illnesses and my spirits were really low. I felt as though my life was about to end. Through studying the miracle book Zhuan Falun I finally understood the true purpose of life. I feel honored and fortunate to practice Falun Dafa!”
The Uncertainties of Life
The youngest of three children, Filip was born into a happy family. His parents and siblings doted on him. Filip’s mother is a Christian who always pursued spirituality, so the bookshelves in his family home were filled with all sorts of books about how to improve oneself. Influenced by his mother, his young mind was filled with imagination and curiosity about nature and the universe.
When Filip was three years old, he and his mother were involved in an accident. Filip fractured a leg and was hospitalized for six weeks while his mother suffered severe whiplash. Due to the complications from the injury, she retired early.
“Watching my mother in pain made me feel very sad. After my parents divorced, my stepmother’s indifferent attitude greatly impacted my physical and psychological state,” Filip said. “I was only 12 years old when I had a taste of the uncertainties in life. I often asked myself: ‘Why do people have to live in such hardship?’
“To take my mind off my troubles I became addicted to computer games. The more I played, the more addicted I was. I sought to escape reality and get away from the grief, indignation, and helplessness I felt. I finally stopped interacting with anyone. I had no interest in what was happening in the world outside,” Filip recalled.
He played so much that his spine became deformed and his back and neck ached. Not only did this affect his studies, but his body could not take it. However, he just could not stop himself from playing the games.
Searching in Vain
When Filip was 19 years old, he suddenly realized how serious his game addiction had become. “I was just wasting my life. I knew I must change my situation,” he said. He moved out of the house. He either threw away his favorite games or gave them to others. He thought that this would help him focus on seeking the true purpose of life and find the truth about the universe.
Full of interest and anticipation, Filip went from one class to another and spent quite a lot of money. He sought out the so-called qigong masters and bought many books and DVDs on psychology.
However, despite continuously searching, Filip not only gained nothing, he even caused his body to be in a big mess. What is worse is that he even attracted many low spirits and entity attachments without him knowing it.
Things Take a Turn
In the blink of an eye, it was 2013. Filip who was over 20 years old, was depressed and his physical condition kept declining. He felt that he had almost reached his mental limit. He said, “I was plagued with myocarditis, folliculitis, collapsed lung, and exhaustion. The pain from the backaches and neck aches that were caused by the hours of gaming was still there. I felt as though I may just stop breathing any time. I could no longer go to work so I took a medical leave and stayed home. For a very long time I did not know how much longer I could survive.”
Just when things couldn’t seem to get worse, seemingly by accident he met a Falun Dafa practitioner. He even managed to get a copy of Zhuan Falun. Through reading the book, Filip had a further understanding of Dafa and felt that it is very good. After he began practicing Falun Dafa, Filip’s life took a 180-degree turn.
“I deeply believe that everything was arranged by Master. Master pulled me back from the depths of despair. Not only has he taught me how to be a person based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, but he also protected me,” Filip said. “The more I read Zhuan Falun, the more I wanted to read it. I was able to find the answers to all the questions that I had about life in that book. Through reading the book, I understood what is truly good and what is truly bad. I cleared away all those bad things in my house. I even got rid of my bad addictions such as my addiction towards alcohol and playing computer games.”
Filip felt very lucky to be able to obtain Dafa. Under the guidance of Master and Dafa, he went back onto the right path and started his new lease on life.
Filip does the fifth Falun Dafa exercise, the meditation.
MasterIsByMySide
Filip said that since childhood, he was so afraid of the dark and ghosts that he had trouble falling asleep. “One night, all sorts of scary faces suddenly appeared before my eyes. This time I was not afraid. I just remembered Master. I kept begging Master in my heart to save me and I also kept reciting the nine words (Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good). Those scary things soon disappeared.” Filip truly felt that Master was right by his side so he had courage.
Filip said that studying the book plus practicing the exercises restored his health. “My body felt light when I walked and I felt like I was floating when I ran. Now I feel energetic and my spirits are high. This is totally different from how I felt in the past. I know that it is the result of Master helping me to cleanse my body and taking away the bad stuff that I used to have. I realized that I do not need to visit doctors nor do I need to visit therapists anymore.”
Relatives and Friends Witnessed the Goodness of Dafa
Not long after cultivating, he began practicing Falun Dafa, Filip’s work and life returned to normal. His life is full of light and hope. Before long, he also found his lifetime partner. His wife is a good and kind person who supports him greatly in his cultivation in Dafa. She even helps to spread the truth to others.
Not only his wife, but Filip’s family, relatives, friends and colleagues all personally witnessed the amazing changes in him. Everyone was sincerely happy for him and are also in awe of Dafa’s miraculous effects and goodness.
Filip’s mother and brother originally mistakenly believed the propaganda the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spread about Dafa. Now they understood that they were deceived by the CCP’s lies. Filip’s mother witnessed her son change and become calm and steady, full of good spirit and brimming with good health. She’s very happy.
His brother is especially happy to see Filip’s positive changes. He fully agrees with Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Filip’s sister and her boyfriend not only support him in his cultivation in Dafa, but they signed the petition to show their support to Falun Dafa practitioners’ efforts to end the CCP’s persecution.
At work, Filip reminds himself to look within when he encounters conflicts. He now listens to others, thinks of others before himself. His boss complimented him saying that after he began practicing Falun Dafa, he became more mature. His boss also said, “Falun Dafa is a belief, everyone has the right to practice it.”
Conclusion
“I truly experienced Falun Dafa’s miraculous power and Master’s compassionate protection. Dafa gave me boundless energy and wisdom and helped me to gain an all-around improvement both physically and mentally. No words can fully describe my endless gratitude towards Master and Dafa.”
Filip also said that in the new year ahead, he will cultivate himself more diligently so that he can save more people and help them understand the truth so that they can distance themselves from the CCP. He hoped that all the kind people in the world will remember that “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
