(Clearwisdom.net) Many articles published on the Clearwisdom website have reported how those who participated in the persecution of Falun Gong suffered karmic retribution. The purpose of publishing these articles is to serve as a reminder to the other malicious people. We feel sorry for them since they were deceived by the lies of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and became criminals when they assisted the CCP.

Good will be rewarded and evil will be punished.

1. Zhou Yongjian, the former Secretary of the Politics and Law Committee of Jinjialing Farm in Hengyang City, Hunan Province, died from liver cancer on October 24, 2004. Zhou used to closely follow Jiang Zemin's gang in persecuting Falun Gong. He always actively harassed and illegally arrested and imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners. Some local practitioners had to become homeless to avoid further persecution.
2. Liu Jinshui, the Dean of the Community Committee of the Chemical Research Institute in Jiangxi Province was actively involved in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners since the persecution started in July 1999. After that, he developed heart disease. He suffered from it very badly in 2005, but he still didn't change his behavior. He instigated others to harass and report on Falun Gong practitioners and asked his boss to "send some help to carry out the persecution." In the beginning of 2008, he suddenly died.
3. Mingyu (alias) is a Director of the Public Security Bureau. Before he became the director, he learned about Falun Gong in detail from one of his relatives who practiced Falun Gong. He recognized that Falun Gong was good and he quit the evil CCP and its affiliates. He has never participated in any kind of persecution of Falun Gong. Recently, he was promoted to director. This February, his father was very ill and was hospitalized and was diagnosed with a late-stage cancer. His relatives told his father to recite "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is good! Falun Dafa is good!" It took effect immediately. His father no longer felt pain the next day. Soon he was discharged from the hospital.

Examples in history of people suffering retribution for their bad deeds

The CCP has been spreading its atheism for many years. Many people in China today do not believe in Buddhas or Taos. They think it is just a coincidence when good people are rewarded and bad people punished.

People in ancient China respected gods. They all believed "Good will be rewarded and evil will be punished. If some bad people didn't get punished, it is because it is not time for them to suffer retribution yet." Let's look at a few examples from the past.

The monk Guoqing, during the Tang Dynasty, did a lot of work to spread Buddhism to offer salvation to people. Many people went to his lectures. One of them was an official who didn't believe in Buddhas. He was very mad when seeing so many people attending monk Guoqing's lectures. He had monk Guoqing arrested and beaten up. That night, he had a dream in which his late father was very angry at him and crying, saying "How dare you do that to monk Guoqing! The King of Hell beat me up because you did this. Your title as an official was taken as well." Soon after that, this official lost his position in the court.

Some people do not believe in this. They think nobody knows their bad deeds as long as no one is watching them. In fact, nothing escapes from God's eyes. Receiving retribution for wrongdoing is just a matter of time. Here is another example. Jiao Junming, in the Ming Dynasty, became a scholar when he was young. However, he never got promoted. He complained about this all the time. Once he wrote down his complaints and burnt incense to make a prayer. Suddenly, a white silk cloth dropped from nowhere and landed in front of him. He didn't know the words on it, so he visited a Taoist. The Taoist told him, "It says you will lose ten years of your life for accepting a bribe. Also, you will be punished after you die because you killed an innocent person. Have you really done things like it says?" Jiao was speechless.

Many people received retribution because they persecuted Falun Gong practitioners:

1. About ten thousand specific cases have been published on the Clearwisdom website about how those who closely followed the CCP's orders to persecute Falun Gong suffered retribution, including high-ranking CCP officials, provincial officials, municipal officials, the head of the public security bureaus, school principals, heads of "610 Offices", directors of police substations, Party Secretaries of community committees, etc. Some of them died in car accidents. Some had strange diseases. Some were struck by lightning. Some died from electric shocks. Some died of cancer. Some simply died for no apparent reason. Some killed themselves. Some were sentenced to imprisonment. Some lost their jobs. Some became paralyzed. Some of their family members suffered retribution, as well, because of their bad deeds.
2. For example, Liu Mingxue used to work at the Polyester Factory in Harbin in Heilongjiang Province. He slandered Falun Gong. In June 2001, he swam in a pool in Shenzhen. A bolt of lightening hit him and he died.
3. Li Zhongde used to work at the Financial Department of Jiangshan Township in Laixi City, Shandong Province. He wrote a poem slandering Falun Gong. The poem was published in the Monthly Jiangshan in the spring of 2000. In the summer of 2000, he was working in the fields when he was struck by lightning and died.
4. Zhang Tongxing, an art teacher at the Liuba Middle School of Guanlibao Village in the Sujiatun Area near Shenyang City, organized students to sign a petition to slander Falun Gong. He also drew cartoons on that petition to defame Falun Gong. On August 11, 2003, he went fishing. Suddenly, a storm came. He was struck by lightning and died. He had a large hole in the back of his head. His head bled and his hair was all burned.

It's a principle in the cosmos that goodness will be rewarded and bad deeds will be punished. Therefore, those who participated in the persecution of Falun Gong need to wake up and correct their mistakes.

Those who closely followed the CCP in persecuting Falun Gong either suffered retribution themselves, or brought suffering to their families. Meanwhile, Falun Dafa practitioners have been upholding Truth-Compassion-Forbearance, the characteristics of the cosmos. They are innocent, yet they suffer persecution. Still, they try to awaken people to the true situation while risking being illegally arrested, beaten, losing their families and jobs, and even their lives, in order to help people tell the good from the bad and the righteous from the evil. They hope for a bright future for all of humanity.
