(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 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.
Since the beginning of the persecution, some people have followed the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners who believe in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." More and more of those who acted as tools of the CCP are meeting their due retribution in varying degrees.
1. Village cadre Zhang Baidan of Baoyang Village, Mancheng County is over 60 years old. Since July 20, 1999, he often led village cadres to go to Falun Gong practitioners' homes to force them, by deception, threats, and/or other means, to write a "pledge" to abandon Falun Gong.
One day, a nail went through Zhang Baidan's arch when he was walking. It took his injury a long time to heal, and there was constant bleeding and pus. He finally recovered, but then he got a lumbar disc hernia. Even so, Zhang Baidan did not want to repent. During the CCP's 17th People's Congress in 2007, he again led cadres to Dafa practitioners' homes to force them to write "pledges," sign them and provide fingerprints. The result was that his wife was knocked to ground by a dog that came out of nowhere, and she broke her hip while chatting with someone on a street in the spring of 2007. Zhang's family spent more than 40,000 yuan but were unable to cure her injury. After his wife was discharged from the hospital, the excavator his son had purchased caused an accident. Zhang's family spent over 200,000 yuan. Soon, his third son got into a car accident and his family spent a large sum of money again. His wife still cannot take care of herself.
2. For many years a tofu retailer named Tao Fuling, who was over 50 and lived at Xiaolijiazuocun, Mancheng County, had been tearing up truth clarification flyers posted by Dafa practitioners. He said that he just did not believe in karmic retribution. He suddenly fell to the ground and died at work in June 2008.
3. Zhao Jinlin, who is an assistant director at the Dule Village Police Station in Yi County, has been doing all he can to persecute Falun Gong in order to obtain political capital. For example, in 2001, Zhao Jinlin arrested Dafa practitioners who went to Beijing to appeal and beat them with a steel rod. He also verbally abused them as he beat them and said that he would break their legs if they went to Beijing again. One day he collided with a farm tricycle on his way to Kangjiazhuang. The accident caused multiple fractures in his lower body.
4. Ex-director Xu Wubin from the Shenxing Police Station was over 50 years old. In order to realize his dream to get promoted to higher ranks and to make a lot of money, he actively persecuted Falun Gong practitioners.
Under his direct instructions and indirect participation, many Dafa practitioners were arrested, sent to forced labor camps, or even persecuted to death. Although he committed so many bad deeds for the CCP, he did not get promoted. Later he suddenly felt something wrong with his body. He died a few years later.
