(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.

Liu Shaobin, male, over 50 years old at the time, was a former director of the Wuzhuang Village Public Security Committee, which was located in the town of Xiaojing, Boai County. Starting when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began the nationwide persecution, he coordinated with the CCP and the police and helped conduct illegal searches of Falun Dafa practitioners' homes on numerous occasions. He also compiled files on all practitioners in the village, facilitating the persecution, and deprived practitioners of their basic human rights at will. He had a stroke in 2003 and has not been able to take care of himself since.

He Shulin, male, from Nie Village in the town of Yangmiao, was appointed mayor just after the persecution began. One day he helped the local police to round up Falun Gong practitioners in the Village Committee's courtyard. He made a speech, ordering the practitioners to hand over all their Falun Dafa books. Before he finished his speech, he suddenly lost consciousness. He died the following year.
