Summary:

Because Zeng followed a spiritual practice called Falun Gong, her life in China was shattered. Sentenced to re-education, she was beaten, tortured with electric prods, starved, deprived of sleep, and forced to knit for days at a time, her hands bleeding, to produce goods contracted for sale in the U.S. market. This is the testament to her ordeal.
