Story From the Countryside: Man Struck Down by a Fireball from the Sky After Murdering Baby

5/11/2003

This is a true story and it happened right next to where we live.

The event occurred in a rural area in western Liaoning province. One family there is influenced by the warped idea that boys are more valuable than girls. The wife gave birth to their first child, a girl, and the second child was again a girl. Her husband was so mad that he threw the second girl off a mountain. The third one was, again, a girl. The husband was furious and he again threw the girl off the mountain. Upon returning home, he found that the girl was lying in front of the house. He ought to have felt regret and carried the girl back into their home, but he again threw the girl back off the mountain.

While he was heading home down the hill, the weather changed and dark clouds were stirring, accompanied by claps of thunder. He was scared and rushed home. He closed the door upon entering his house. Heavy rain began to pour down.

He had a big, very gentle dog at home. He heard the dog barking a couple of minutes later. After he opened the door, he found that the dog had carried the baby home in his mouth. The man instantly flew into a rage and, using a shovel, hacked the dog and the baby girl to death, and then kicked the baby's body into a ditch. At that moment, a fireball fell from the sky and struck him down, killing him on the spot. Right after that, the dark clouds dissipated and the sky was again clear. It seems that his cruel heart and evil deeds had incurred the wrath of heaven, and resulted in his demise.
