"I want my mom, I want my grandma, my grandpa...." Eight-year-old little Luhuai was shouting and crying. Luhuai's dad held his son tightly, his face full of sorrow and anger.

Luhuai's 31 year-old mother, Liu Zhihua, had to leave her lovely son two weeks ago. It was the afternoon of December 29, 2007, that officers from Fengrun District 610 Office in Tangshan City, along with officers from the Hancheng Police Station burst into little Luhuai's house and captured his mom, Liu Zhihua; his grandma, Wang Lifen; and his grandpa, Liu Ruichen. They were all illegally detained in the Fengrun District Detention Center. After 610 Office agents and the police illegally searched their house twice and seized a lot of their personal property, they continued harassing the family. They burst into Liu Zhihua's house again and forced her husband to submit a 200 yuan detention fee for each of them. The police also claimed that he had withheld information from them and tried to punish Liu Zhihua with a 10,000 yuan fine as a result of this unlawful allegation. Liu Zhihua's husband could not afford to pay this huge fine, so in the end they fined him 1,000 yuan.

Liu Zhihua, along with her father Liu Ruishen, and her mother Wang Lifen, started cultivating Falun Gong in 1998, after which they changed a great deal both mentally and physically. Cultivation strictly guided them to follow the principals of "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance," and required them to be good people. Ms. Lu collected the eggs from the chickens she raised and sold them. She always returned the extra money that some customers paid her by mistake. Her father is a carpenter who works very hard and does a good job for his customers. They were willing to pay him more but he always refused. They also take special care of Lu Ruichen's mother, who is over 70 years old. This was a truly congenial family that interacted just as sympathetically with their neighbors.

However, this family has been persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) political gang headed by Jiang Zemin since the persecution began on July 20, 1999. In December 2007, while they were clarifying the truth in public, someone reported them. At about 4:00 p.m. on December 29, 2007, they were apprehended by agents from the 610 Office in the Fengrun District and officers from Hancheng Police Station.

Ms. Lu Zhihua, along with her father and mother, are now in the Fengrun District Detention Center. Only Ms. Lu's husband is left at home. He is now responsible for financially supporting his family, doing the housework, and taking care of the elders and his son. An older lady over 70 years old stands at the door every day in the chilly wind, calling for her son, her daughter-in-law, and her granddaughter to come home safely and as early as possible. Little Luhuai cries every day, worrying about his mom.

As a result of the CCP's persecution, this once happy family is sinking into a depressed and fearful state.
