(Clearwisdom.net) Editors' note: In both Western and Chinese cultures, 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 acts that are in harmony with this principle, while doing things 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.

Wu Fuxiang, former director of the labor department of Xingtai Steel Company Party Committee, developed colon cancer

The former director of the labor department of Xingtai Steel Company Party Committee, Wu Fuxiang, used to torture Falun Dafa practitioners. He now has colon cancer and is hospitalized in Beijing.

When he was the director, he actively followed Jiang's regime and participated in the persecution of Falun Gong to pursue his own interests. He forced Falun Gong practitioners in his work unit to write "repentance letters" saying that they would give up their belief in Falun Gong. He also repeatedly went to practitioners' homes to harass them, forcing them to hand over all of their Falun Gong books. Cooperating with the local 610 Office, he sent practitioners to brainwashing centers and detention centers. All Falun Gong practitioners were expelled or forced to leave their jobs due to the persecution.

It is a heavenly principle that kindness will be repaid with kindness and evil will be repaid with evil. In 2003, Wu was forced to step down due to his corruption. He now suffers from colon cancer. We advise those people who were involved or are still involved in the persecution of Falun Gong to think about it, as the persecution has been going on for nine years. Falun Gong is now being practiced all over the world. Due to this vicious persecution, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has lost the confidence of the people and is on the verge of collapse. It is your own decision whether to stop doing what is wrong so you can have a bright future or to continue your evil deeds and be eliminated along with the CCP.

Zhang Huizhu, head of Hezhuangzi Town, Niangniangzhuang Village in Zunhua City, Hebei Province, died

Zhang Huizhu, the head of Hezhuangzi Town, Niangniangzhuang Village in Zunhua City, Hebei Province, was 50 years old. In order to keep his post as an official, he was closely following the orders of the CCP. Together with the local 610 Office and security office, he followed Falun Gong practitioners in his village, ransacked their homes, and extorted large sums of money from them, causing tremendous financial loss and spiritual trauma to practitioners and their families. Even under such circumstances, practitioners still kindly clarified the truth to him. However, in addition to Zhang Huizhu's refusal to listen, he also sarcastically said, "The CCP gives me good food and wealth. I don't believe in retribution."

In March of 2007, Zhang Huizhu suddenly had difficulty speaking and his voice became hoarse. Later he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in Tangshan Hospital. After undergoing two surgeries, the cancer spread throughout his body and could not be treated. He could barely swallow water, let alone eat good food. He died on January 7, 2008.

We want to warn those who are still persecuting Falun Gong to wake up and become clear headed, as it is a heavenly principle that kindness will be repaid with kindness and evil will be repaid with evil.
