Features: From November 12, 1995, to February 17, 1996, Guo Guangyun was detained in Shijiazhuang City Detention House for nearly three months. The "Special Case Team" subjected him to cruel physical and mental torture. On February 17, 1996, Guo Guangyun was arbitrarily sentenced to two years of labor education. Due to his continuously deteriorating health, he applied for medical parole and was released early on November 30, 1996. In early 1997, Guo Guangyun and his wife resolutely embarked on a long and arduous journey to seek fairness and justice through petitioning, which lasted for six years. On February 13, 2003, the representative of the Shijiazhuang Municipal Committee of the Party Work Department, on behalf of the Municipal Committee and the Provincial Party Committee, formally apologized to Guo Guangyun. On August 9, 2003, Xinhua News Agency reported that, upon approval by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection had reviewed the serious disciplinary issues of Cheng Weigao, former Speaker of the Hebei Provincial People's Congress, and decided to expel him from the Party and revoke his treatment as a first-class provincial-level official. Through his relentless efforts, Guo Guangyun finally received the justice he had long been denied.
