(Clearwisdom.net) Cui Shuping, the ex-department head and the leader of the Tianjin Chinese Medical Academy "610 Office", suddenly suffered a stroke and passed away in September of 2004. He was 47.

Before his death, he viciously attacked Falun Gong, spending all his energy on persecuting practitioners. Because of his orders, a few students who practiced Falun Gong were forced to transfer schools after being suspended from classes and losing their jobs. A few were kidnapped and taken to brainwashing centers and labor camps for further persecution. In September of 2004, Cui Shuping suffered a stroke and died a week later in the hospital.

This incident shocked the Medical Academy greatly. Many said that Cui died because he received karmic retribution for persecuting Falun Gong.

[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 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.]
