(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.

On August 29^th, 2002, a vehicle carrying Liu Shunjun, Wang Youcheng and four other persons rolled over into a river. Liu Shunjun died at the scene. Wang Youcheng broke his neck and ribs and four others suffered minor injuries.

Liu Shunjun, around 40 years old, was the principal of Qingliu Town Central Elementary School. Last year he forced all the students in the school to sign materials slandering Dafa. He also instructed the students to deface all Dafa banners. This has impacted more than a thousand innocent children. As a result, Liu received due retribution.

Wang Youcheng was a police officer of Qingliu Town Police Station. On December 31^st, 2001, he went to Beijing to bring Dafa practitioners who appealed in Beijing back to Qingliu. On the train, he viciously beat Dafa practitioners and forbade them to speak, eat or go to the restroom. He said, "I will find out if I will die for beating Dafa practitioners." Good deeds will be rewarded with good and bad deeds will meet with retribution.
