A wife weeps beside her husband, who has been tortured to death at a brainwashing center. He holds in his hand a document that the authorities tried to forced him to sign, a pledge that defames Falun Gong. Brainwashing is also a common form of torture used against Falun Gong practitioners, The husband was murdered because he refused to be “transformed”. The artist uses the exquisite technique of contrast to create depth, which makes people feel as if they were present at the scene.
「洗腦」是折磨不願放棄信仰的法輪功學員的百種酷刑之一。畫中妻子在死去的丈夫身邊哭泣。死者因為拒絕被轉化而被虐殺,他的手中是一團撕碎的「洗腦書」。畫家用細膩的筆法烘托出的氛圍,讓人身歷其境。
