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.

Many people in Fengjie County are discussing the karmic retribution some of the local "VIPs" received as punishment for their evil deeds. Some people even use these incidents as a reference to teach their children to do good, instead of harm, to others.

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Feng Chuanjia from Fengjie County was subjected to one year in a forced labor camp for appealing for justice for Falun Gong in Beijing in December 2000. After his release he wrote an article exposing how the guards and criminal inmates at the Xishanping Forced Labor Camp in Chongqing tortured Li Zetao, a 24-year-old practitioner from Jiangjin City. Li Zetao died as a result of the torture. The article also told of water dungeons and other brutal torture methods used. Mr. Feng Chuanjia was able to get the news out of China via Yu Xiaoru, a practitioner with relatives in Taiwan.

The article was sent to Taiwan and later published on the Minghui website
