Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Qiu Aihua was a resident of Wujiatan Village, Houjia Town, Wendeng City, Shandong Province. After she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in 2000, she was tortured so badly that she became disfigured. Because she went to appeal in Beijing, the persecutors fired both her husband and her from their jobs. Therefore, her husband was furious with her. As a result of the persecution, Qiu Aihua suffered immense physical and mental distress and passed away on June 26, 2004.
