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.

Cai Zhongyin, Deputy Manager of the Longfeng Town Comprehensive Management Office, participated in persecuting Dafa practitioners in September 2000. He tortured 22 Falun Dafa practitioners by whipping them with the thorny branches of a particular plant. As soon as this plant's branches make contact with the body, the skin breaks out in an unbearably itch rash. When Cai saw that this method of abuse was ineffective for achieving his goals, as Falun Dafa practitioners were able to bear the discomfort, he adopted a more extreme approach. He invented a flexible wire whip by twisting four steel wires together to whip Falun Dafa practitioners. [Note: Being whipped with wire or cable can flay the skin off a person and causes tremendous physical damage] Practitioners were so badly injured from being whipped with the wire whip that their clothing was pressed into their severely lacerated flesh. Later, Cai Zhongyin was involved in a collision when riding his motorcycle in 2003. He remains in a coma to this day.

Official Arrested for Corruption

Because I went to Beijing to peacefully appeal to the government to end the persecution of Falun Gong, I was detained in a brainwashing center in Shuangcheng Township for over a month by the government officials in Shuangcheng City, Heilongjiang Province. I went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal detention. "610 Office" staff extorted 1000 yuan in cash from my family to get me released. Because our family is poor, they could not afford the payment to get me out of detention. I wasn't released until they signed a note of debt to owe the money. Police officers have since been to my home many times to harass my family and to attempt to collect the 1000 yuan. At that time, a person in charge of the village by the surname of Sun asked me if I still practiced Falun Gong, and I said yes. He then threatened "If you continue to practice, you will truly lose your home and all your assets."

During my detention in the brainwashing center of the Qiulin Company in Shuangcheng Township, I was very inhumanely treated. I persisted in my cultivation of Falun Dafa, and went on a hunger strike to protest my unlawful detention and persecution. I was violently force-fed, tied up, and beaten. The staff in the brainwashing center threatened that they would break off my teeth with pliers. I was tortured very severely and was near death. I couldn't walk or eat. Officials from the brainwashing center and "610 Office" were afraid to take responsibility for my death, so they got my family to take me home.

Sun, the person who threatened that I would lose everything if I practiced Falun Gong, was arrested for corruption. He wasn't released from prison until he paid a fine of 400,000 yuan.
