Chronology of coverage
- June 12, 2018 — first arrest after police found a Falun Gong calendar in her photography studio; equipment and personal items confiscated; one month in detention despite a failed physical; released on bail. (Minghui, October 5, 2021)
- February 9, 2021 — arrested at home; later refused detention-center admission on health grounds. (Minghui)

Source provenance and conflicts
All substantive case facts come from Minghui.org or its compiled data, a Falun Gong-affiliated monitoring outlet. No court documents, official records, or non-Falun-Gong-affiliated media coverage of her cases were located. A Minghui overview dates the second sentence to August 2, 2022, while two 2022 case reports date the hearing and sentencing to July 20, 2022; all agree on five years and two months plus the 20,000-yuan fine. Her status after September 2022 is unconfirmed.
