Person profile: Yang Chunrong / 阳春容
This page collects the published reporting on the case of Yang Chunrong (阳春容), a Falun Gong practitioner from Chongqing, with source attributions and the limits of what is known. All case details are reported as attributed to their sources.
Identity note: The Chinese form 阳春容 is verified against the Rights Defense Network’s Issue 131 Chinese edition, which lists her in the “sentenced to 6 years and 9 months” group and in the A–Z prisoner index. Minghui’s English reporting also identifies her under the name “Yang Xu” / “Yang Yu,” which its September 2023 article confirms is the same person.
