There are a few sentences in the 56th Volume of Hangshu (History of the Han Dynasty) saying that, "If a county commits some wrongdoings, Heaven will first warn the people with disaster; if the people don't correct the mistake, some more strange things will happen; if the people still don't correct themselves, the whole country will suffer catastrophically."
According to the reports from official media in China, we have found that the more recklessly a place persecutes Falun Gong, the more disasters occurred there and the more suffering the local people had to endure. In the past two years, natural disasters have happened one after another in China. The Chinese people's ancestors respected and revered the Gods, but today's people only believe in themselves. They think that they can obtain anything by grabbing, and consider it foolish to be a good person and be considerate to others. Under the influence of this notion, evil people consider looting and grabbing Dafa practitioners' property as good opportunities to become rich, and brutally persecuting Falun Gong as good opportunities to be promoted. This is the true reason why the Heavens are punishing China with disasters
Since Jiang Zemin's criminal group started their crackdown on Falun Gong, natural disasters have occurred in China one after another to warn the people. This article summarizes some of them.

Please take a look at the droughts that occurred in 2001 in China (All the materials are from official Chinese news agencies.):
This year's drought is more serious than last year, over 300 million mu (a Chinese unit of area), or 19.7 million acres of farmland are suffering from drought.

The above information is only part of the official report from China. Due to limits of time and space, we cannot put all the record here. We believe that as time goes by you will read more and more disaster reports from various sources. Because the persecution of Falun Gong has lasted for two years, many crimes have been committed, and it is not allowed for there to be no payment for them.
It is better to believe in the will of Heaven, not human desire; it is better to be a good person, not a brutal officer. In the case of Falun Gong, treating it indifferently or cursing and mistreating it are the last things in the world one should do. Otherwise, when retributions come, it will be too late for regrets.
