Chen Chengyong 07.21.2001

CHEN Chengyong, male, 35 years old, was an electrical technician in Guangzhou Paper Factory, Guangzhou.

Mr. CHEN lost his job because he went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. In January 2000, he was detained for fifteen days for practicing Falun Gong in public.

In July 2000, he was detained for three weeks. He was arrested in Beijing for displaying a Falun Gong banner in Tiananmen Square. Because he refused to give up Falun Gong, he was forcibly taken to the Guangzhou brainwashing center, where he was tortured.

A report on July 21, 2001 indicated that CHEN Chengyong passed away in a shed on the outskirts of Guangzhou city. When his sister identified the body, the corpse was already decomposing. It was estimated that he had been dead for quite sometime before the family was notified.

Chengyong's elder sister was sent to the brainwashing center after she identified the body. She was illegally sentenced to a labor camp for two years.

Chengyong's father passed away after suffering a fatal heart attack because of the tragic death of his son and the imprisonment of his daughter.

Dai Zhizheng, CHEN Chengyong’s wife, an Australia citizen, tried to go to China to bring back her husband’s ashes. The Chinese Consulate in Sydney refused to give her a visa. Eight months later, with the help of the Australia government, CHEN Chengyong’s ashes were shipped to Australia.
