(Clearwisdom.net) A village head in Shenzhou City, Hebei Province closely followed the orders of higher authorities to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners when he first took the post. He also cursed Dafa, tore up Dafa flyers and sent Dafa practitioners to the detention center. He then received karmic retribution. First, he had two motorcycles stolen. Later, his wife got a strange disease. They visited many hospitals in Hengshui City and Shenzhou City in Hebei Province, spent more than 10,000 Yuan, (1) but still could not find a cure. Because no one could do the farming, they had no income. They have a son who needs money to study in college so they incurred many debts. The village head also felt this was strange. Why had a good family come across such hard times? At that time, many Dafa practitioners sent truth-clarifying materials to his home. After he read the materials and watched the VCD, he gradually came to understand: Falun Dafa is so good but is still suppressed. Once, a person from the town government came to him asking him to persecute Dafa practitioners. He felt he was deceived by Jiang's lies and said angrily, "Don't come to me regarding Falun Gong in the future!" He no longer tore up Dafa flyers. Because of this righteous thought, his wife later recovered without any medical treatment and was able to do farm work. Since then, this village head never participates in the persecution of Dafa practitioners.
From July 20, 1999 until 2004, this village has gone through three security guards. All of them left this position because they did not want to persecute Dafa practitioners after learning the truth. The most recent security guard directly came to Dafa practitioners and said, "You can clarify the truth as you wish. I will not care as long as the higher authorities do not check." Therefore, this village has truth-clarifying signs posted everywhere. Later, people from the town government demanded that these signs be removed, so the village had to find someone to do it. Someone came to the village secretary and said, "I can tear up the Dafa posters. I am not afraid of the karmic retribution." This person not only tore down the posters, but also cursed Dafa. The next day, he felt very dizzy and could not stand up. He went to the hospital for a checkup and was told he had bone hyperplasia, but he had no money to treat the disease. The 20 Yuan he had been paid by the village was certainly not enough to treat the disease. Later, he told his wife, "I really received karmic retribution! I will never do it again!" After that, no one would destroy Dafa posters anymore.

[Editors' Note: In both Western and Chinese culture, the principle of karmic retribution, that is, being held ultimately accountable for one's own actions, is widely accepted. The fundamental teaching of Falun Gong is the characteristic of the universe, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." The universe will reward actions that are in harmony with this principle, while actions such as beating, torturing and murdering people will incur karmic retribution. Stated another way, good deeds will be rewarded with good, while evildoings will meet due retribution. Articles such as this one are meant as a compassionate reminder of this principle to those who would commit wrongdoing. While many of those who persecute Falun Gong are merely "following orders," the universal law requires that they, too, be held responsible for their actions, and that only by reversing their course of wrongdoing may they escape retribution.]
