Mr. Li Hai graduated with a Bachelor's degree from the Department of Biology at the Harbin Normal University. Li used to work as a teacher in the No. 64 High School of Daqing City. Because he refused to give up the practice of Falun Gong, the persecutors fired him from his job in 2000. In April 2002, Li was placed in detention; on November 15, 2002, Honggang District People's Court (Daqing City) sentenced Li to 12 years in jail for the fabricated charge of "manufacturing devices for tapping into cable TV networks."

As a result, Sun was unable to move. After arriving in Yangshu Town, the chief of the Yangshu Town Police Station feared that Sun would die, so he released Sun. At present, Sun has not recovered from the injuries; she is confined to bed, and she cannot take care of herself.
