This painting was based on the true story of Mr. Liu Chengjun. Mr. Liu was a Falun Gong practitioner from Northern China. In March of 2002, he was sentenced to 19 years in prison for his involvement broadcasting programs that exposed the brutality of the persecution against Falun Gong on Chinese television. After 21 months in prison, he was tortured to death. Demonic and monster like images on the floor represent the horrors he endured while in detention. He is bathed in warm, golden light that represents a resilient faith.
這幅作品取材真實故事。劉成軍是法輪功學員,畫面中,他被綁在椅子上,頭向上仰,雖然看不到他的表情,從他的肢體語言可以看出他受到很殘酷的折磨,但是他並沒有屈服,從一束光裏伸出一隻溫暖的手給予他生命的永恆。他腳下魔鬼的臉孔,表現了監獄那個邪惡的環境。
2002年3月5日晚8時左右,一群法輪功學員用電視插播,在長春市有線電視網八個頻道播出了澄清事實的法輪功真相電視片。迫害法輪功的元凶江澤民直接下達了「殺無赦」的密令,幾天之內,長春地區有5000名法輪功學員被抓,7名法輪功學員在極短的時間內被虐殺。插播者劉成軍是這次插播事件的關鍵人物,遭受極其殘忍的酷刑,並被判刑19年。入獄後劉成軍常遭到酷刑折磨,全身到處是傷痕,最後昏迷不醒,於2003年12月26日凌晨溘然長逝。
