Hu Baolan, a village woman, had a stroke when she was 55 years old. She could not do any housework, had to walk with a cane, took lots of medication every day, and suffered much pain. In 1997, when she was 59 years old, she started to practice Falun Gong. Within 20 days, she could walk without the cane, her other illnesses started to improve and she looked younger. She could do all the housework and did not have to take medicine. She was telling everyone that Falun Gong is very good.

However, since July 20, 1999, the police began to search practitioners' homes and to take away the books. They would arrest anyone who still practiced Falun Gong. Out of fear, Hu Baolan stopped practicing Falun Gong, saying, "I can't practice. I am afraid that they are going to arrest me."

At the beginning of November 2002, Hu Baolan had another stroke and was admitted to the county's hospital. Her family spent nearly 10,000 Yuan and she was not getting better. She told her visitors, "Had I persisted in practicing Falun Gong, this wouldn't have happened. This is all because I stopped practicing Falun Gong." Hu Baolan passed away on December 30, 2002 after being denied the change to practice Falun Gong and improve her health by the Jiang regime.
