[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.]
Karmic Retribution for Writing Slogans Defaming Dafa
Xiao Shujun, male, 47 years old, was a teacher in Hongqi Primary School in Chaigang Township, Nongan County, Changchun City. In July 2006, Xiao Shujun wrote many slogans defaming Dafa on the exterior of people's residences. He was paid to do this by his cousin, the Residential District Head, Xiao Mou.
The slogans cursed Master Li Hongzhi and spread hatred towards Dafa. Because the walls where the slogans were written were very close to two middle schools and one primary school, they caused students and teachers who hadn't learned the truth about Dafa to regard Dafa with hostility. Local practitioners wrote a letter to Xiao Shujun, asking him to stop what he was doing, but he showed no sign of repentance.
At 11 p.m. on September 27, 2008, as Xiao Shujun was waiting for a car in the median on the Songyuan Changchun Highway, the left front wheel of a truck carrying timber fell off and rolled across the median onto the shoulder. The truck swerved and the tie-down rope broke. As a result, huge logs rolled off the truck and crushed Xiao Shujun, shattering his skull and breaking many bones. He died instantly.
