(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 karmic retribution. Articles such as this one are meant as a compassionateáreminder 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 karmic retribution.

Chenzhou City's Suxian District Forestry Bureau Deputy Chief Li Xiaoyu actively persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners. On May 18th, Li Xiaoyu, his elder sister, his elder sister's husband, and his nephew were traveling to Guangzhou to see a doctor. As they were passing under a multi-level crossing bridge, the goods compartment of a freight vehicle on the bridge came loose, broke through the barricade, and crashed down on Li's small vehicle. Li Xiaoyu, his elder sister, and her husband died on the spot.

A woman from Jiangbei verbally abused Dafa and urged her younger sister to give up her cultivation in Falun Dafa. As a result she received karmic retribution. She tumbled on level ground and fractured a bone in her left hand. When she realized that a moment before she had said bad things about Dafa, she immediately repented her actions. Before long, she gently pressed the place where the bone in her left hand had been fractured and found it no longer broken.
