(Clearwisdom.net) Editors' note: In both Western and Chinese cultures, 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 acts that are in harmony with this principle, while doing things 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.

3. Party Secretary and His Relatives in Wanquan County of Hebei Province Received Karmic Retribution
Wang Ming was the Party Secretary of the village council at Dongbei Street of Wanquan Township, Wanquan County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. Wang had been involved in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners since July 1999. He spared no means in persecuting practitioners, such as illegally ransacking their homes, organizing public degradation meetings, penalizing practitioners by forcing them to kneel or stand for long periods of time, and beating, verbally abusing and blackmailing practitioners. At times, all Falun Gong practitioners were forced to pay 5,000 yuan. While carrying out this extortion, Wang Ming suddenly suffered from thrombosis in the brain. He had to spend tens of thousands of yuan on treatment but was not cured, and needed 24 hours assistance in his daily life. In the summer of 2007, two practitioners went to his home again to clarify the truth to him about Falun Gong. Wang cursed those practitioners and drove them away. On October 22, 2007, Wang's illness worsened and he died at the age of 54.
Wang's younger brother previously worked as the chief of the Social Security Department. He also participated in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners on several occasions and often destroyed Falun Gong posters. He suffered from the same disease as Wang Ming. In the winter of 2003, he fell down and died beside the stove in his house.

He was diagnosed with serious bleeding in his brain. His family has spent over 20,000 yuan for his treatments but as of this time, Wen is still mentally disoriented and needs assistance with his daily activities.
5. Two Examples of Retribution after Reporting Falun Gong Practitioners to the Police in Laishui County, Hebei Province
In the summer of 2004, Liu Shuxia, resident of Zhengbancheng Village of Zhaoge Town, Laishui County of Hebei Province, reported several Falun Gong practitioners in his village to the police. His original purpose was to receive a reward for this, but he received none. On January 3, 2006, Liu went to Blue Lake in the North Mountain near his village. At the time, the lake was frozen. Liu walked underneath the icy cliffs of the mountain. Suddenly a big chunk of ice fell down and hit Liu; he was seriously injured and sent to a hospital. Liu spent a long time in the hospital and had to spend lots of money. Currently, Liu is still unable to take care of himself and needs daily assistance.
On May 9, 2003, Li Guisheng, head of Banchen Village, along with Li Zhengsheng, head of the Zhaoge Town government, deputy head Fang Yongwu, Party Secretary Li Ying, and deputy head Zhang Xiushan, took into custody, detained and tortured several Falun Gong practitioners without any legal grounds. They forced the families of these practitioners to each submit 3,000 yuan and a guarantee statement before they released them. Instead of getting promoted and making money, Li lost his position the following year. His wife contracted a very strange disease and they had to spend a lot of money for medical expenses. Li's son had a collision while riding his motorcycle and broke his leg bone, which incurred more medical expenses.
