(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.

Zeng Jing, deputy manager at XinHuang County Heavy Metals Mine Corp. in Hunan Province, crushed to death

Zeng Jing, the deputy manager at XinHuang County Heavy Metals Mine Corp. in Hunan Province, followed the Chinese Communist Party in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners in his work unit over the years. In 2008, he was crushed to death while at work.

He had persecuted Dafa practitioners from his work unit since 1999, and collaborated with the 610 Office to send Dafa practitioners to forced labor camps. He also stole practitioner's wages for seven years.

Zeng withheld practitioners' living expenses from 2001 to 2003. From 2004 to September 2008, he only paid 100 yuan to each practitioner in his work unit. He didn't pay out full wages until October 2008. He stole over 10,000 yuan from practitioners.

Dafa practitioners clarified the truth of Falun Gong to him several times and told him that he should treat practitioners well to redeem his future, but he concentrated on his immediate interests in trying to get a raise and did not listen to the advice.

In April 2009, Zeng Jing was crushed to death at Mibei Gold Mine in Xinhuang County. He was in his thirties, and left his parents, a wife, and a 3-year-old son.

Body of Zheng Wei, Wuqing Police Station inspector, Tianjin City, found in a river

Zheng Wei, the inspector at Wuqing Police Station in Tianjin City, persecuted Falun Gong practitioners without reservation. He worked at Jingqing Chenju County Police Station, and was a front-runner in arresting and beating practitioners. Around midnight one night in 2000, Zheng Wei, Li Huanghe, and other officers arrested Yu Rongxiang, a practitioner in Chenju County. They forced Mr. Yu to sit on a tiger bench. He was interrogated around the clock and then sent to a detention center. In the same year, Zheng Wei arrested practitioner Zhang Yuzhen and imprisoned her for three days and nights, beat male practitioner Pang Hongqi, and beat Dang Dexia with an electric baton. He even tortured practitioners' relatives. For instance, he forced Ba Huhe, the relative of a practitioner, to stand in the hot sun for more than two hours. This thug was promoted to police inspector, and he acted even more unrestrained after his promotion.

Early this May, Zheng went missing for several days, then his body was dredged from the Xuguantun River. The cause of his death is unknown but it appeared he was murdered and thrown into the river. A witness said his father slapped Zheng twice in the face when he saw the body.

Liang Zhiguo, deputy police chief in Kedong County, Heilongjiang Province, dead at 58

Liang Zhiguo, 58, was the deputy police chief in Kedong County. In April 2009, he suffered from an aortic tumor. He spent over 300,000 yuan for medical treatment but could not be cured, and that was what killed him. As the head of the local 610 Office, Liang Zhiguo arrested, detained, and sentenced practitioners to forced labor. Although practitioners clarified the truth of Falun Gong to him, he never repented.

Tian Bengui, a guard at Jiujiang Majialong Forced Labor Camp in Jiangxi Province, died in a car accident

Tian Bengui, 39, was a guard at Jiujiang Majialong Forced Labor Camp, Jiangxi Province. At midnight on June 3, 2009, while he was driving to Yongxiu County, he crashed into a large truck and died instantly.

During his tenure, Tian Bengui tortured practitioners using extreme brutality. They warned him against persecuting Falun Gong and advised him not to be a hired thug of the Jiang regime, but Tian still went his own way.

Falun Gong practitioners don't want to see people receive karmic retribution for persecuting Falun Gong. The practitioners risk their lives to clarify the truth to people so as to stop them from doing bad deeds.
