Tiger bench 老虎凳

This work depicts a common torture method used to inflict severe, prolonged pain. Bricks are stacked beneath the feet of the practitioner while ropes tying the legs down are pulled taut, bringing the legs to the point of breaking. The artist has given both men an ethereal halo-one bright, one dark and ghostly. The stark difference suggests what might be awaiting both men after this lifetime, based on the choices they have made.

Multiple torture methods are often used on the victim at the same time, including shocking the victim with electric batons, restraining the hands behind the back with handcuffs, and more.

「老虎凳」是折磨不願放棄信仰的法輪功學員的百種酷刑之一。上刑時，殘忍的惡警常用幾根皮帶把雙腿牢牢捆綁於長凳上，並在腳脖部位不斷用磚頭墊高，一直到皮帶崩斷。被反覆、長時間折磨的受害者常常疼不欲生，直至昏死、休克。用刑的同時還常伴隨其他酷刑，如電棍電擊、背銬等等。
