(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.

Deputy Director Guo Shuhua of the Guangzong County Police Department in Hebei Province Died of Lung Cancer

Guo Shuhua, nicknamed Guo Si, was the deputy director of the Guangzong County Police Department. He died of lung cancer on January 20, 2009. His wife, Cao Xiaoli, a policewoman at the National Security Team of the Guangzong County Police Department, was diagnosed with breast cancer.

When Guo Shuhua was in charge of the police stations and national security team, he followed the CCP closely to persecute Falun Gong. He frequently had practitioners harassed, arrested, or persecuted. He also extorted money from their families. One time he extorted more than ten thousand yuan and pocked the money for himself. He ordered police to put several practitioners into forced labor camps and brainwashing centers, where they were tortured physically and psychologically, causing their families a lot of hardships.

The Principal of a Middle School in Sichuan Province Received Retribution for Following the CCP to Persecute Falun Gong

The principal of a middle school in Sichuan Province knew that Falun Gong is good. Though he didn't practice Falun Gong, he had witnessed its miraculous effects. However, after the CCP made false accusations and started persecuting Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, his attitude toward Falun Gong gradually changed. At first, he avoided it, but later he actively participated in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. People who understood the truth reminded him several times, "Don't follow the CCP to persecute Dafa, otherwise you will receive retribution." He replied, "In my position, I can just delay my orders." But later, he changed. He berated practitioners publicly in his school. He also told his wife to pressure Falun Gong practitioners, causing some of their spouses to seek divorce and other people to burn Dafa books. Even worse, he secretly created a black list of practitioners and reported them to the police. As a result, some practitioners were persecuted and a lot of pressure was brought to bear on their families.

Within less than a year of his wrongdoing, he was diagnosed with liver cancer. He died in less than a month. When he was informed of his cancer at the hospital, he became very frightened and shouted "Heaven and earth!" He cried to the people visiting him at the hospital, "Great heavens! Why do I have this disease?" He was just over forty, but he was diagnosed with a terminal cancer.
