(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 compassionateáreminder 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.

Receiving retribution for having sold out their conscience and persecuting good people, the following relates how a judge in Liaoning, a government official in Anhui and several others in Shandong Province have died.

Wu Shaoliang, male, 54 years-old, was the former head of Beipiao Court in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province. In August 2001, he secretly sentenced Falun Gong practitioners Zhang Huaping, Hu Guohong and Yang Xinyu to four years of imprisonment. In early September, on the way back to Beipiao from Chaoyang City, his car collided with another car owned by Beipiao City Grain Department. Wu was killed in the car crash.

Zhou Qidong, the City Standing Committee Commissioner and the Secretary of the City Political and Judiciary Committee of Wuhu City, Anhui Province, rampantly persecuted Dafa practitioners. On August 13, he was executed on charges of hiring murderers.

Li Yinqi, an employee of the Agricultural Machinery Company in Mengyin County, Shandong Province, was active in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. He was extremely hostile to Dafa, slandered Dafa and cursed at Dafa practitioners. He used foul words to abuse Dafa, and even set these words to music and sang them himself. On August 4, 2002, he died as a result of a car crash, after being dragged for a distance of over 100 meters.

Xing Xianying, the Vice-Director of Mengyin County Women's Federation in Shandong Province, slandered Dafa and abused Teacher in brainwashing classes. She abducted Dafa practitioners' spouses as hostages, forcing them to divorce their husbands and wives. Xing Xianying has now received due karmic retribution. She was hit by a motorcycle and her arms were broken. Bigger disasters may soon come if she doesn't come to realize her serious errors and stop persecuting Falun Dafa.
