(Minghui.org) Editor’s note: In both Western and Chinese culture, the principle of karmic retribution—that is, ultimately being held accountable for one’s own actions—is widely accepted. Stated another way, good deeds are rewarded while evildoing will incur due retribution. Below is a story of a cancer patient who received unexpected blessing when he refused to cooperate with the communist authorities to frame Falun Gong.

A resident of Shenyang City, Liaoning Province was diagnosed with late-stage throat cancer in 2006. He almost lost the ability to talk and the doctor said he didn’t have much time left.

Back then, the forced organ harvesting of living Falun Gong practitioners had just been exposed to the international community, with the city of Shenyang and its suburban Sujiatun District in the center of this heinous atrocity.

Upon hearing about the patient’s situation, the local 610 Office in Sujiatun contacted him. They attempted to convince him to pretend to be a Falun Gong practitioner and then publicly deny the existence of forced organ harvesting. They promised to give him 3,000 yuan to cover his medical cost if he agreed to do a TV interview.

Just as the patient had a hard time rejecting the officers, his wife came back. She was very angry to find out what the authorities asked him to do. “You are asking a dying person to provide false testimony? When people find out the truth, how will you explain it?” With her strong attitude, the officers left.

Three months later, when the patient went back to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor was surprised to find that his cancer had disappeared. The patient was also able to talk again. He believes that he has received blessings for refusing to be an accomplice to the persecution.
