(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Ma Fusheng, 68, was a professor who taught at the Changchun City Geology Institute in Jilin Province. Prior to learning Falun Dafa, he had heart and kidney disease, but after he began cultivating in 1997, he became healthy very quickly. Mr. Ma went to Beijing to appeal and validate Falun Dafa in 2000. For this he was arrested and detained in a detention center and a mental hospital. He was inhumanly tortured, and held a hunger strike to protest the persecution for nine days before he was released. The local police considered him a key person and constantly harassed him at home.

In March 2003, he was arrested again by officers from the Changchun City Police Department, and sentenced to one year of forced labor. The police confiscated his personal computer and a printer, along with other items. Mr. Ma became very weak after one year of forced labor, and had difficulty moving. The local police never stopped harassing him even though they knew of his fragile condition. He never recovered from his weakened state and died on February 17, 2008.
