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 compassionateííreminder 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.
í Fan Jiuming, the party committee secretary of Hanwang Town, Deyang City, Sichuan Province, used his power to recklessly persecute Falun Gong practitioners in order to win a promotion and get rich.

- A middle school teacher in the countryside of Chongqing City was full of bad thoughts towards Falun Gong in his mind. One of his nieces clarified the truth of Falun Gong to him, but he did not believe it and said bad things about Falun Gong. That same night, a large tumor developed in his wife's stomach. The next day she had an emergency operation in the hospital that cost a few thousand Yuan [Chinese currency, the monthly salary for an average Chinese urban worker is about 500 Yuan]. A tumor weighing 4.5 kg was removed from her stomach. Afterwards, he was very surprised and wondered whether it was karmic retribution for defaming Falun Gong. Since then, whenever his niece talks to him about Falun Gong, he is no longer against it.

In less than 10 days, his father was hospitalized for acute pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer. The hospitalization cost them more than 10,000 Yuan. In August of this year, when this young man wrote a similar article, his father was again hospitalized with his life in danger. It cost them more than 10,000 Yuan again.
