Because of going to appeal for Falun Gong many times, vicious police officers violently kicked her head and injured her brain, which led to continuous high blood pressure. Later when she was unlawfully detained again, she had blood in her stool for several days, and her blood pressure was extremely high. After getting out of prison, her health got worse and worse. She died on November 16, 2003.
