(Clearwisdom.net) Some fourteen years ago, from May 10 to May 14,1997, an art exhibit featuring 655 paintings was held at Nanling Stadium in Changchun City, Jilin Province, China. The exhibit attracted more than 6,000 visitors. According to an authority from the Painting and Calligraphy Institute of Jilin Province, the artistic level of the works in the exhibit surpassed those of all past professional art exhibits in Jilin Province. In addition, something quite remarkable happened during the exhibit. A woman that had been paralyzed for six years was carried into the exhibit on a board, but ended up standing up and walking on her own several minutes later. Those who witnessed it applauded in amazement.

这是中共迫害法轮功之前，长春的法轮功学员为纪念李洪志先生传法五周年而举办的，当时得到了省、市气功协会和有关部门的支持。画展所有作品都是洪扬大法、赞颂李洪志先生的，作者绝大部份是法轮功学员，其中有专业画家、书法家、社会名人、业余作者等等。
当时，法轮功以“真、善、忍”的法理和神奇的健身功效传遍中国大陆，修炼人数迅猛增长，其中不乏各类专家学者，包括很多书画艺术家们。九九年中共迫害法轮功后，当海外的画家法轮功学员在世界各国举办“真、善、忍”美展，获得各界好评的时候，中国大陆的那些艺术家们却遭受着前所未有的残酷迫害，有的含冤离世，有的被判重刑、被迫害致残，还有的背井离乡，流亡海外。以下是我们搜集到的部份案例，仅是冰山一角。
This exhibit was held by Falun Gong practitioners in Jilin Province to celebrate the five-year anniversary of the introduction of Falun Gong by Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, in 1992. It took place before the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began its suppression of Falun Gong in 1999. The exhibit was endorsed by the Qigong Association in Jilin Province and in Changchun City, as well as different government agencies. All the art works were created in honor of Mr. Li Hongzhi and Falun Gong. The majority of the participating artists were Falun Gong practitioners. They were professional painters, calligraphers, local celebrities, and amateur artists.
Before the persecution of Falun Gong began in July 1999, Falun Gong was embraced all over China, mainly through word of mouth, because of its principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and because so many people experienced dramatic improvements in health after practicing it. The number of people practicing Falun Gong grew rapidly. Experts and scholars from many different disciplines and artists were among its practitioners.
After the CCP began the official campaign of suppression of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Falun Gong practitioners outside of China began to host exhibits of art by Falun Gong practitioners. The Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Art Exhibit, for example has received widespread international acclaim. Nevertheless, Falun Gong artists been facing an unprecedented level of persecution in China because they refuse to renounce their belief. Some have died as a result of the persecution, and some have been sentenced to many years in prison. Other artists have become handicapped as a result of torture, and some have been forced to leave their homes and go into hiding outside of China.
The following paragraphs discuss only a small number of the artists that have been subjected to persecution in China.
齐白石的孙女、齐秉淑曾被关进精神病院 Ms. Qi Bingshu, granddaughter of Qi Baishi, one of the most celebrated Chinese painters in the 20th century, confined to a psychiatric institution for practicing Falun Gong
齐秉淑女士，现年六十多岁，是著名画家齐白石的亲孙女，也是著名画家，她画的画非常好，齐白石曾经说过，她的画可以和齐白石乱真。齐秉淑修炼法轮功之前全身是病，经常大出血，脸白的象纸一样，躺在床上动都动不了。修炼法轮功之后重病奇迹般地都好了。
一九九九年四月二十五日，齐秉淑和其他法轮大法修炼者自发到“信访办”和平请愿，站了整整一天。 一九九九年七月二十日中共迫害法轮功以后，齐秉淑多次被绑架，仅仅因为她坚持自己对“真、善、忍”的信仰曾被强行关进北京市朝阳区大北窑镇大柳树精神病医院，大夫说她得了“气功分裂症”，强行给她打针、吃药，还扬言“等什么时候法轮功结束了什么时候放” ；她被关在牢里期间，牢里的警察、监狱长、公安的头儿等，都强迫她画一些画，画了就收走，收走以后就去卖掉。一方面对她迫害，一方面还要强迫她画画。据悉，齐秉淑未被关押以前，由于修炼了大法，人显得非常年轻，看上去象四十多岁的人；被非法关押后摧残得两鬓白发苍苍，手不停地颤抖，从目前情况看已经不能再作画了。
Ms. Qi Bingshu, a Falun Gong practitioner in her 60s, is a granddaughter of Mr. Qi Baishi (January 1, 1864 - September 16, 1957), one of the most celebrated Chinese painters in the 20th century (as noted on Wikipedia). Like her grandfather, Ms. Qi Bingshu, too, is a famous painter. In fact, her grandfather once commented that her paintings could pass as his own.
Unfortunately she once suffered from a myriad of illnesses. She used to lose a lot of blood, had an ashen complexion as a result, and was bedridden. When she started practicing Falun Gong, all of her illnesses disappeared without any medical treatment.
On April 25, 1999, Ms. Qi Bingshu and several fellow practitioners traveled to Beijing and exercised their constitutional right to appeal for Falun Gong. They stood outside of the State Appeals Office in Beijing in a queue for long hours that day. Ms. Qi Bingshu has been repeatedly arrested because she refuses to renounce Falun Gong. In fact, she was admitted to the Daliushu Psychiatric Hospital in Dabeiyao Town, Chaoyang District, Beijing, because she refused to give up her belief. The doctor declared that she was suffering from "Qigong Schizophrenia" when she refused to renounce it. Although she was perfectly sane, the doctor prescribed anti-psychotic drugs as a form of torture. The doctor even threatened to keep her in the hospital until Falun Gong became extinct. She was later sentenced to prison for the same reason. The prison guards, wardens, and police officers encouraged her to create paintings because they were highly sought after. They confiscated all of them and sold them for profit. She faced torture in prison while also being forced to create paintings.
According to those who had known Ms. Qi before she practiced Falun Gong, she looked like a woman in her 60s because of Falun Gong. However, her hair turned grey after she was incarcerated. Her hands would tremble involuntarily, and it appeared that she would no longer be able to paint.

牡丹江市图书馆画家于宗海被冤判重刑十二年 迫害致残 Mr. Yu Zonghai, the resident painter at Mudanjiang City Library, sentenced to 13 years in prison and becomes handicapped
于宗海是黑龙江省牡丹江市图书馆的画家，从事图书馆美工设计，在单位是劳动模范、标兵。修炼前因工作繁重，积劳成疾，得了股骨头坏死病，身体弱到连一小脸盆煤都端不动。到各大医院检查医治没有效果，医生建议只能截肢。一九九四年于宗海有幸参加了李洪志师父在大连讲法学习班，参加完学习班刚回来，自己就能把二百斤大米一口气从一楼扛到五楼，从那以后，于宗海不但身体康复了，精神面貌也有极大的改观，所有的同事没有一个不说他好的。
Mr. Yu Zonghai was the resident painter at the Mudanjiang City Library. He specialized in artistic designs for the library and was a model employee. Before he started practicing Falun Gong, Mr. Yu developed hip osteonecrosis because of the overwhelming workload. He was so frail that he could not pick up a bucket of coal. He went to several different major hospitals for treatment, but the answer was the same—amputation. In 1994 Mr. Yu attended Mr. Li Hongzhi's Falun Gong classes in Dalian, Shandong Province. Shortly after he returned from Dalian, Mr. Yu was able to carry a 200-pound bag of rice to the fifth floor. Mr. Yu became perfectly healthy and a changed man. All of his colleagues sang his praises.
二零零一年于宗海海因坚持“真、善、忍”的信仰被非法判刑十二年，至今仍被非法关押在黑龙江省牡丹江监狱，他的身体受到非常严重的伤害。迫害之初遭到刑讯逼供，遭恶警毒打、往口鼻里灌芥末油；二零零六年八月末，于宗海在监狱受超强奴役劳动，左眼受创，泪腺断裂，因未能及时手术，可能会一辈子流泪，即使这样，狱警还强迫他为监狱画画，特别是画虎，因为画虎在市场上很值钱。北方的冬天零下十几度，于宗海被扒光衣服用凉水浇，还要在室外冷冻！二零零八年奥运会前，牡丹江监狱六监区多次对被关押法轮功学员搜身和对物品进行搜查，于宗海遭到恶警葛华、王辉以及恶警指使的犯人谢士德等人殴打。
In 2001, Mr. Yu was sentenced to 13 years in prison because he refused to renounce Falun Gong. To this day Mr. Yu remains incarcerated in Mudanjiang Prison in Heilongjiang Province. The prison time has taken a severe toll on his health. At first he was interrogated with violence and torture. The guards beat him and poured mustard oil in his mouth and nose. At the end August 2006, Mr. Yu was forced to do hard labor, during which his left eye was injured. Due to the tear duct injury, he could possibly have uncontrollable tears from his left eye for life, yet the prison guards continued to force him to paint. They made him paint many tigers because they are highly sought after.
二零一零年年底，于宗海被暴力殴打，腿骨被打断、胸骨突出，现在还一直头晕，眼睛也看不清，走路很困难。牡丹江监狱长期不让探视，家属一直都不清楚于宗海的情况，近期才得知他在监狱遭到严重迫害的消息。
Northeastern China during the winter can be very cold. Yet the guards would repeatedly strip him naked, pour cold water over him, and leave him outdoors to freeze. Before the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, Area Six of Mudanjiang Prison repeatedly conducted body and prison cell searches of Falun Gong practitioners. During one such search, Mr. Yu was beaten by a prison inmate, Xie Shide, under orders given by guards Gehua and Wang Hui.
At the end of 2010, Mr. Yu was once again subjected to brutal beatings. This time his femur was broken and his ribs protruded. To this day he continues to feel dizzy. His vision becomes blurry, and, as a result, he has difficulty walking on his own. The prison has been denying his family visits, so they have not been able check on him. It was just recently that they finally learned about his unfortunate circumstances.
河北省衡水师范学校讲师、漫画家张之泉含冤离世 Mr. Zhang Zhiquan, a college lecturer and comic book artist, died as a result of torture
河北省衡水师范学校讲师、漫画家张之泉，毕业于中央美术学院，文革时曾遭冤狱迫害。退休后学炼法轮功，身心受益。二零零一年三月十九日晚，张之泉被衡水深州市恶警贾双万、尚运航从老家深州市西阳台村绑架后被非法判重刑七年，在河北省第四监狱遭受迫害。在他被非法关押的前四年，身体还十分健康，狱医惊奇的赞叹他七十出头的人，心脏还呈现四十岁年轻人的健康图像。之后，狱警为了名利先后利用两个流氓（刑事犯）对他进行人身摧残：任意打骂，在脸上吐唾沫，敲床（铁床），撩被子，不让睡觉，逼供，审讯，体罚，惊吓等等，甚至狂妄至极的扬言：“我叫谁死在监狱，他就别想出去。”并断言张之泉一定死在监狱。
Mr. Zhang Zhiquan was a lecturer at the Hengshui Normal Academy in Hengshui, Hebei Province, and a comic book artist. He graduated from the China Central Academy of Fine Arts. He was imprisoned during China's Cultural Revolution. After he retired, he began to practice Falun Gong and benefitted immensely.
残酷的摧残使张之泉的身体彻底垮了，原本一百四、五十斤的他，只剩了六七十斤，完全脱了相，在家人强烈要求下，于二零零七年三月抬出监狱（保外就医），到家人去接他时，张之泉已经处于半昏迷状态，是从监狱抬出来的，以致儿子都不敢相认。回到家后，张之泉不断遭到当地“610”、公安国保骚扰，还不发给退休工资，在各方面压力之下，身体精神一直不能恢复，于二零一零年五月一日，含冤离世，终年七十六岁。
On the evening of March 19, 2001, Mr. Zhang was arrested in his hometownn in Xiyangtai Village, Shenzhou City, by Jia Shuangwan and Shang Yunhang from Shenzhou City, Hengshui. He was then sentenced to seven years in the No 4 Prison in Hebei Province. During the first four years, Mr. Zhang was very healthy. Even the prison doctor was amazed that this man in his 70s had a heart comparable to that of a man in his 40s.
After that, the guards, tempted by the bonus associated with making practitioners renounce Falun Gong, ordered two prison inmates that were thugs to torture him. They beat him, shouted insults at him, spit on him, knocked on his metal bed to interrupt his sleep, pulled the blanket off him at night to disrupt his sleep, deprived him of sleep, interrogated him, and did things to frighten him. A guard once declared, "If I decide to have someone die in prison, he will never get out of here alive."

After he was released, Mr. Zhang Zhiquan continued to face frequent harassment from the local 610 Office and the Domestic Security Team. Moreover, his retirement pension was suspended because he was a Falun Gong practitioner. As a result of the high level of stress, Mr. Zhang never recovered. He passed away at the age of 76 on May 1, 2010.

Ms. Yue Changzhi had a difficult life. She was born with poor health, and her difficult life made her extremely unhappy. In 1996 she started practicing Falun Gong and became perfectly healthy. In other words, Falun Gong, a completely free practice, has saved China from paying Ms. Yue's medical expenses.
After China started to supress Falun Gong in 1999, Ms. Yue was arrested eight times and sent to a forced brainwashing center twice. During work meetings, she was often the target of attack because she practiced Falun Gong. Moreover, her pension was reduced from 1,300 to 200 yuan. In July 2003, Ms. Yue was sentenced to four years in Beijing Women's Prison, where she faced a myriad of tortures, and she was repeatedly at death's door. Her body was covered with injuries and bruises. She was deprived of sleep and use of the bathroom. She would sometimes be subjected to a sudden beating where she would nearly collapse. One day, nine people held her to the ground and beat her, loosening her teeth. They forced her legs 180 degrees apart and pushed her neck forward. She heard lower back crack before she passed out. When she came to, the nine people demanded, "Will you continue to practice Falun Gong?" When she said she would, they continued the same torture. Her spine snapped in three places. Large bruises all over her body were still visible a month later. Because she was not given any medical treatment or allowed to rest, her vertebrae did not re-align properly, and she could not stand up straight. She has fled China and currently resides in Australia.

| Mr. Li Guangwei |
李光伟至今下落不明，哭干了眼泪的老伴和儿女到处找他，也曾向当地派出所报案，也找了许多公安部门，市长，可他们几乎都以他炼法轮功而推脱，不受理，不找人，甚至还威胁他女儿说“不要自找麻烦”。
At the end of 1998, Mr. Li was so ill that he could not walk. He sought medical treatment in many different places. His wife finally introduced him to Falun Gong. He became healthy once he started to practice it. He was able to walk to meeting locations for group practice and group study. When China began its suppression of Falun Gong, the police ransacked his home. Mr. Li, who had been severely traumatized during the Cultural Revolution, was frightened, and his old illnesses surfaced. Because he wrote down his own experiences of practicing Falun Gong and distributed it, he was subjected to police surveillance and was followed when he went out. On July 25, 2005, he told his family that he was going out for a walk, but he never returned.
To this day Mr. Li Guangwei's whereabouts are unknown. His wife and daughter have been looking everywhere for him. They even filed a report with the police and went to many police departments and even to the mayor, but everyone told them to give up, because he practices Falun Gong. Some even threatened, "Do not look for trouble."

法轮功是以修炼“真、善、忍”为原则佛家修炼大法，教人心向善，使许多人重症得到康复，道德得到升华，到九九年就吸引了上亿人修炼。中共头目江ＸＸ出于妒嫉之心，操控中共这个迫害机器，发起了对善良的法轮功学员的长达十二年的残酷迫害。然而十二年来，法轮功不但没有被打倒，反而在全世界弘传。而中共迫害法轮功所做的一切，赤祼祼的暴露着其邪恶、噬血的本质，结局必定是在迫害好人、迫害社会精英中，加速着自己的灭亡。
The Chinese Communist Party is notorious for targeting elite groups in Chinese society in its many political movements. Professor Zhang Kunlun from McGill University was arrested, sentenced to forced labor camp, beaten, and subjected to electric shock when he went back to China to appeal for Falun Gong because he is a practitioner. Ms. Zhang Cuiying is another example. After China began its suppression of Falun Gong, the Austrailian citizen went back to China to appeal for Falun Gong and was incarcerated in prison for eight months.
Falun Gong is a form of cultivation practice based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Many followers have become healthy and become better people from practicing it. According to CCP studies in the late 1990s, between 70 and 100 million people had begun to practice Falun Gong before the persecution began.
