Province party secretary Wang Xudong, deputy secretary Zhao Shiju, standing committee member and provincial military region commander Chen Yutian, general secretary and standing committee member Zhang Quansheng came to the Museum of Shijiazhuang and watched the large exhibit “anti-cult, promoting civilization” hosted there. The leaders watched the exhibit carefully and listened to the introduction of the staff at the same time. Everybody looked serious while looking at the pictures about how Falun Gong destroys life and disturbs the society. Wang Xudong said that the exhibit is good and it unveiled the anti-society and anti-human nature of Falun Gong using actual examples and educated people. He hopes that the exhibit can be viewed by more people including those transformed Falun Gong practitioners and family members of the victims so that they can further understand the ugly face of the cult and increase the self-consciousness and firmness of the struggle. It is especially important to educate the middle school and elementary school students so that they can establish the thought of anti-cult and promoting civilization at their childhood.[2]

In March 4, 2000, she went to Jijiang Road neborhood in Hebei district, Tianjin City to attend illegal Falun Gong activity and was caught by the police. She was put in 15 days detention. Because Sun violated the law repeatedly and wouldn’t show regret after education, the college expelled her from school. Sun Jingmei’s husband wrote a letter to Hebei CCP secretary Wang Xudong and asked him to help with Sun’s education. Wang Xudong instructed the relevant departments to help her immediately after receiving the letter. Under the patient help and education from different levels of party organization in Shijiazhuang city and Hebei province, Sun Jingmei regretted and broke up with Falun Gong. [3]
