(Clearwisdom.net) 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.

1) Wang Xiangda and Gao Zhiyuan from Jiangxia District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, Receive Karmic Retribution for Persecuting Falun Dafa Practitioners

Wang Xiangda was a branch Secretary General at Zhengdian Street High School who persecuted teachers and students who practiced Falun Gong. He harassed them and had practitioners monitored by four party officials. He also sent practitioner Mr. Chen Chuangqian to a forced brainwashing session. At the age of 60,Wang suddenly died from an acute illness.

Gao Zhiyuan was a local policeman at Zhengdian Street, Jiangxia District, Wuhan City. Before the persecution started on July 20, 1999, Gao practiced Falun Gong for a short period of time. However, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began the persecution of Falun Gong, Gao caused losses to Dafa and had a negative influence in his local area. He turned in a list of practitioners' names and Dafa materials that included books, videotapes, audiotapes, and exercise uniforms.

Recently, for unknown reasons, Gao was detained by the local police station for 15 days while driving to Xianning City, Hubei Province. His son got his throat cut while climbing over a fence at Jiangxia 1st High School and had to stay at the hospital for more than three months.

2) Bad Things Happen Again to Zhang Ruiqing, Head of the 610 Office at Guangzong County, Hebei Province

For several years, Zhang Ruiqing has severely persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners with the help of some of his relatives. Prior to the 16th Party Representatives Meeting in 2003, he teamed up with the local police to try to force practitioners to stop practicing Falun Gong.

They first put pressure on detained practitioners' family members in order to extort 1,000 yuan or more from each family for a so-called "converting fee". Zhang and the police threatened each practitioner's family by saying that the practitioner would be sent to a forced labor camp or sentenced to prison if they did not pay the fee.

At that time, Zhang also went to Beijing in order to stop practitioners from appealing there. While riding a bicycle on his way to Beijing, he fell down onto the pavement and broke his right leg. He had to spend a lot of money for his recovery and suffered for more than one month before he could walk on crutches.

Zhang Ruiqing's bad deeds keep bringing misfortune to himself and his relatives. In early November of 2005, Zhang's uncle, who had no prior health problems, suddenly died while sitting at the dining table.

As the Deputy Secretary General and Politics & Law Commissioner of Guangzong County, Shi Yunjing instigated the local Department of Politics & Law to do their utmost in persecuting practitioners. He also viciously attacked Falun Dafa in public meetings. In November 2005, right after graduating from a military academy in Beijing, Shi's only son was beaten to death.

Another leader of the "610 Office" in Guangzhou, Li Yueguo, received karmic retribution for persecuting Falun Gong. In May of 2005, at the age of 36, Li suddenly suffered a stroke and is now in a vegetative state. He now relies on others to help him with his daily needs.

3) Zhao Yuntao, Party Secretary General of Zhongba Women's Forced Labor Camp in Guizhou Province, Commits Suicide after Going Insane

Zhao Yuntao was the former Director of the Politics Department at Zhongba Women's Forced Labor Camp in Guizhou Province. He later became the labor camp's Party Secretary General and Politics Commissioner. For unknown reasons, Zhao went insane and later committed suicide.

On the morning of October 30, 2003, a truck full of prison guards from Zhongba Forced Labor Camp collided head-on with a big bus. All 23 passengers were injured and the most critical ones were rushed to the Province's Second Hospital.

After the persecution of Falun Gong began, the prison guards at Zhongba Women's Forced Labor Camp have brutally persecuted practitioners. They closely monitor the detained practitioners 24 hours, 7 days a week. They also deprive practitioners of sleep and do not allow them to use the restroom, talk to each other, do the Falun Gong exercises, or use a pencil or paper.

Practitioner Mr. Han Ming was slapped more than 20 times by guard Gu Xinying. He was also tied up with rope by eight people at the camp and injected with four different kinds of drugs. As a result, Mr. Gu's health deteriorated and he passed away on March 29, 2003.

The Zhongba Women's Forced Labor Camp is a den of evil that persecutes practitioners. However, the CCP calls it the "Heart Education School."

Practitioner Mr. Li Mingjia of Zunyi County is in his 30's. He was persecuted in the 2nd Squadron of the 5th Brigade until he had a mental breakdown. He is still detained and constantly beaten by five or six prison guards and criminal inmates.

Practitioner Mr. Tian Zhongfu of Shibing County is over 50 years old. He was brutally tortured in June of 2004. Mr. Tian's body was poked several thousand times with steel needles by the guards and other prisoners. As a result, his fingernails developed pus and decayed. However, he was still forced to do hard labor with his hands. Two of Tian's ribs on the right side were also broken from being kicked repeatedly.

4) Other Karmic Retribution Cases

Yu Shumei is the Neighborhood Commission Head at Nanking Road, Liantang Town, Nanchang County, Jiangxi Province. Since the persecution of Falun Gong began, she has cooperated with the local police station to persecute practitioners. One day in 2005, Yu and the police were confiscating a practitioner's property. Yu took Teacher Li's portrait, threw it on the ground and stomped on the portrait. The practitioner warned her not to do that or something bad might happen to her. However, Yu did not believe in karmic retribution. In late October of 2005, her husband and four other people were in a car accident. Yu's husband was the only passenger who died, while the other four passengers in the same car only suffered scratches.

After persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, another neighborhood head at Fuqian Road now has breast cancer.
