Husband of Chinese Musician Disappears Before Trip to U.S.

Since 2008, erhu soloist Mei Xuan has been touring with the New York-based
classical Chinese dance and music company, Shen Yun Performing Arts.

On
February 18th, she was supposed to be reunited with her husband Jiang Feng at
New Jersey’s Newark Airport, but Jiang never arrived.

Mei Xuan says
Jiang had checked in at Shanghai’s Pudong Airport in China, and that his name
did appear on the passenger list. But, something happened before he could board
the flight.

According to the Epoch Times, two officers at the Shanghai
Pudong Police Station said that Jiang was probably abducted by police from the
610 Office and the National Security Bureau.

The 610 Office is a
Gestapo-like organization the Chinese Communist Party—CCP—established in 1999 to
crack down on the Falun Gong spiritual practice.

Formerly given the title
of China’s “National First Class Performer,” Mei Xuan and her husband were both
persecuted by the Chinese regime for practicing Falun Gong.

Mei Xuan
believes the Chinese regime kidnapped her husband to interfere with her touring
with Shen Yun Performing Arts.

[Mei Xuan, Erhu Soloist]:
“In fact,
Shen Yun’s performance is continuing to have a bigger impact, and this continues
to make the Chinese Communist Party very nervous. Actually from the kidnapping
of my mother, [and later] my husband—the disappearance of my husband, it’s all
because of them targeting Shen Yun.”

Shen Yun is known for showing
traditional Chinese culture—culture that has been suppressed by the Chinese
Communist Party. Some of the songs and dances also depict how the CCP has been
persecuting Falun Gong.

Mei Xuan says since she started performing with
Shen Yun in 2008, her family has been harassed by the 610 Office. She is now
calling on the Chinese regime to immediately release her husband.
