Fu Jinfeng (付金凤) — Person Profile
Fu Jinfeng (付金凤) is a Falun Gong practitioner from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, formerly an official of the Nanchang City Blood Station (also rendered as the Nanchang Central Blood Station), who was detained repeatedly over two decades for her faith — including two terms of forced labor and a three-year prison sentence imposed in 2015. The Rights Defense Network’s (维权网) monthly political-prisoners report (Issue 131, August 31, 2026) lists her among prisoners with “sentences unknown”; that listing contradicts a January 2020 account describing her as released in March 2018, so her current status is unconfirmed and cannot be stated as detained or free.
The case
On March 24, 2015, Fu — then 51 — was arrested by officers of the Nanchang Economic and Technological Development District Domestic Security Division and the Jiaoqiao Police Station while talking to people about Falun Gong on a bus. She was held at the Nanchang City No. 3 Detention Center for 15 days, then transferred to the No. 1 Detention Center on April 9. She was tried by the Jingkai District Court on August 6, 2015 — presiding judge Chen Nanping — and sentenced to three years in prison. She served the term at the Jiangxi Province Women’s Prison and was released in March 2018. Note: the 2020 Minghui profile states she was “sentenced to three years in prison in March 2015,” which is internally inconsistent with the March 24, 2015 arrest and the August 2015 trial; the three-year term is recorded as reported, with no exact sentencing date given.
The persecution extended to her family and livelihood. Her husband, an employee of the Academy of Science, filed for divorce in October 2001 while she was in the forced labor camp, after losing an opportunity to work in Hong Kong because of her case. Her son was bullied at school for her faith and, after graduating from college, was denied enlistment in the military because she would not renounce Falun Dafa. Her brother, a hospital department director, was removed from his position in 2003 for refusing to pressure her. Her mother died in 2016 while Fu was in prison. Her employer withheld her salary and bonuses for 11 months after an incident in December 2013, and — on orders from the local 610 Office — fired her in 2016, one year before she would have qualified for retirement, leaving her without regular retirement benefits after more than 30 years of service.
Earlier targeting
In November 1999, Fu traveled to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa; she was arrested, handcuffed in a stress position — one arm over her shoulder, the other pulled up behind her back — and later held for a month at the No. 3 Detention Center in Nanchang. In June 2000 she went to Beijing again and was held at the No. 3 Detention Center for another month. In September 2000, she was arrested for distributing Falun Dafa informational materials and taken to the No. 2 Detention Center in Nanchang; she was sentenced to 18 months of forced labor and taken to the Jiangxi Women’s Forced Labor Camp on January 23, 2001. Her term was extended by three months because she refused to renounce Falun Dafa; she was released on July 15, 2002. On September 16, 2003, she was taken to a brainwashing center with 16 other practitioners for 15 days; she went on a hunger strike and six days later escaped by sliding down a water pipe from the fourth floor. In September 2004 she was arrested again and given two and a half years of forced labor, transferred to the Jiangxi Women’s Forced Labor Camp in late October 2004; her term was extended by five months, and she was released in August 2007. In 2008, she was detained for 10 days in the Nanchang City Lockup for talking to people about Falun Dafa. In November 2014, she was taken to a brainwashing center with four other practitioners; the head of the local 610 Office told her her salary would be withheld if she did not stop all outdoor Falun Dafa activities, and she was not allowed to return to work. In March 2019, she was reported to police after giving a USB stick containing Falun Dafa information to someone, and was detained for 15 days in the Nanchang City Lockup.
Status and evidentiary limits
Her current status is UNKNOWN and should not be stated as detained or free. The most recent detailed account (January 2020) describes Fu as released from prison in March 2018 but still subject to harassment, with a further 15-day detention in March 2019; the Rights Defense Network’s Issue 131 roster (August 31, 2026) lists her among prisoners with “sentences unknown,” which may reflect a new detention, a stale record, or a data lag. All custody-condition, abuse, and family-impact details are source-attributed to Minghui.org reporting of Fu’s own account and have not been independently verified. No PRC official record, court verdict document, or independent media coverage of her case was found; no consular or diplomatic involvement is reported. Do not merge her with Xiang Jinfeng (向金凤, Fujian rights defender) or Wang Jinfeng (王金凤) — different people.
