### Source provenance and grading
All factual claims above derive from Minghui.org English reporting (Feb 2, 2024 feature article; July 22, 2025 and Jan 28, 2024 persecution-news digests; July 10, 2011 digest; Mar 7, 2021 harassment digest). Minghui is a Falun Gong–affiliated outlet; its detention, sentencing, and mistreatment claims should be read with that attribution in mind. Corroboration from a second independent source has not been found. The 2011 forced-labor account and the 2023 arrest details appear in multiple Minghui reports with consistent specifics (dates, names, locations), raising confidence that they describe the same person.
### Evidentiary limitations
– Indictment, trial court, trial date, and formal charge for the 2024 six-year sentence are unknown (no court record located).
– Chinese characters for “Di Lianxia” are not verified; no characters appear in the accessible sources.
– No second independent source confirms the July 2025 tuberculosis report.
