(Minghui.org) Mr. Zeng Liwen, a business owner, was forced to leave his home to avoid further persecution from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) because he practices Falun Gong. Mr. Zeng's family members have been hoping for his safe return, but he is unable to go home while the persecution still continues.
Police Fail to Arrest Mr. Zeng but Ransacks His Home
Police tried to arrest Mr. Zeng outside his home on the night of March 31, 2013, but he managed to escape, which forced him to become homeless. As the police did not succeed in arresting him, they smashed open his house door, broke in and ransacked his home. Two young girls that were in the house were so shocked that they held on to each other tightly while staring at the men who had broken in.
The police confiscated computers, a printer, office equipment and supplies, as well as many other valuables. They then arrested Mr. Zheng's wife and towed the family's car away.
Developing the Family Business
Mr. Zeng's father opened a candy factory in 1985. By the year 2000 his products were widely available all over China. Mr. Zeng was 24 years old at the time, and through his hard work he opened his own candy factory in Hunan Province, called the Dongkou Dragon Master Food Factory. Treating others with respect and conducting himself with integrity, Mr. Zeng's business flourished.

Below is a personal account from Mr. Zeng Liwen.
Arrested and Home Ransacked
Our family had a reunion dinner outside of town on March 31, 2013. After dinner, I drove my parents, wife and three children back home to the Dragon Master Food Factory, where our family of seven lives.
We reached Gaosha Town at around 8 p.m., when suddenly a group of unidentified people tried to stop my car. They yelled at me to get out. I thought it was a robbery and quickly stepped on the accelerator and sped away. They proceeded to chase me all the way back to the factory. After reaching the factory, they got out of their car and tried to grab me. I realized who they were, and during the commotion, I managed to escape.
I later found out that Luo Meiguang from the local Politics and Law Committee, Yang Manyu from the local 610 Office, and deputy head of the local police department Zeng Lixin worked together to organize this group of people to illegally arrest me and ransack my home.
After I was forced to leave home, my phone was tapped and people were sent to monitor my home.
My Family Looks Forward to My Return
My parents, wife, children and I are hoping I can return home soon. My family organized a banquet on my father's 60 th birthday. However, I was unable to attend because the police were looking for me. My father could not help but shed tears because of my absence.
My father's health has not been good. A few days before I had to leave home, I accompanied him to the hospital for treatment. After I was forced to leave home, my father's health went downhill, and he went to the hospital with kidney failure. He fell down the steps after the treatment and lost consciousness.
My elderly mother cries every day and thinks of my suffering. My heart is pained after hearing this.
My son is now in his second year of junior high school. He is very bright but lacks self-discipline, and relied on me to work with him. After my departure, he thinks of me every day and is in no mood to study. He has been in shock and lives under someone else's roof, and he says that he is now an orphan.
My two daughters are still young. One is currently in the third grade and the other in the first grade. They are longing for my return, as I used to take them out for a car ride every day. It is very hard on my wife, as she needs to take care of the whole family. She can only cry silently, with no one to turn to for help.
My friends and family, you must understand that my current situation and the suffering of my family was brought about by the CCP. I once had a happy family. It is the CCP's persecution that has led to this current situation.
It is a heavenly principle that evil will not triumph over good, and no matter how vile the persecution is, there will eventually be a day when accounts will be settled. However, this also requires your help. Only by stopping this persecution and bringing these criminals to justice, can I return home safely. I look forward to it eagerly.
Deeply Moved After Learning about Falun Gong
I had the predestined relationship to talk to a Falun Gong practitioner in 2007, who described a series of horrifying details of persecution that had been occurring around me. I was trembling inside and could not control my tears after listening to this information.
When I came to understand Falun Gong more deeply, I realized that practitioners are very kind and good people. Their suffering jarred me, as the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong is a violation of basic human rights and challenges one's moral conscience, as all those of Chinese descent will have to choose between what is good and what is evil.
Benefiting Physically and Mentally from Dafa
When I was 30 years old, I kept thinking, “What is the meaning of life?” and questioning if it was how to make more money? China seems prosperous now, but the social conflicts are unprecedented. With the addition of corruption, pornography and counterfeit goods, society's morality is on the verge of collapse. As a businessman, I encountered all kinds of people, and my good nature had been struggling, and I tried hard not to lose my moral standing.
It was at that time that I came across Falun Gong practitioners. They are from all walks of life. They are sincere, kind and patient, and are constantly trying to eliminate the bad thoughts in their minds. Compared to them, I felt like a lost sheep who had found his way back to the flock.
Under the CCP's tyranny and in this absurd persecution, Falun Gong practitioners will not be defeated and have a will of steel. I asked myself, “What has created this determination that is solid and unshakable like diamond?” The answer was in front of me – Falun Gong.
I chose to cultivate after understanding the facts about the practice. I follow Master's teachings of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to be a good person. I quit smoking and drinking and got rid of all the bad habits that I had developed in the business world. I cleansed my soul and rectified my words and actions.
My Illnesses Soon Disappeared
I used to have serious problems with my heart. At times my face became pale and I developed a cold sweat. Then I would be dizzy, everything would go black, and I would faint. It seemed like I had just died and then returned.
The doctor diagnosed it as sinus arrhythmia and said that they could not treat it effectively, and that any improvement would be up to me. I paid close attention to my body and dared not exercise vigorously. However, I still occasionally fell ill, and thus was very distressed.
Since I started practicing Falun Gong, my problems disappeared without a trace. Each time I did the second exercise, I would run to the toilet to vomit and had diarrhea. Practitioners told me that Master was cleansing my body.
This lasted for about two weeks. After that my body became relaxed and full of energy. It was a very cold winter that year, and previously I was afraid of the cold due to a poor heart. My hands and feet would also be cold, however, my whole body became very warm after practicing the exercises. Falun Gong is really amazing!
Clarifying the Facts and Resisting the Persecution
I have benefited a lot from cultivating, but Falun Gong practitioners are currently being brutally persecuted by the CCP. Many practitioners are tortured in prisons, forced to attend brainwashing sessions, given psychiatric drugs that destroy their central nervous system, and some practitioners have had their organs harvested.
To rescue practitioners that are imprisoned, I did what every Falun Gong practitioner should do, which is to help people understand the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution.
As I had office equipment, such as a printer and computers in my factory, I printed truth clarification materials and burned truth-clarification CDs. Then I distributed them to various villages, towns and the streets in Dongkou County. Later, I started to make phone calls to let people know the facts about Falun Gong and send multimedia messages to disseminate the information to everyone around me.
Only when the CCP's evil nature and lies are exposed, will the consciences of the world's people awaken to stop this persecution.
