(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 compassionate reminders 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.
More than ten government officials in Hegang City received retribution because of their participation in the persecution of Falun Gong. We are making these facts public, hoping that more people can distinguish good from evil and treat Dafa well. Retribution is not something we want. People come to the world with nothing and leave the world with nothing. They cannot carry fame or wealth with them. If a person goes against heaven's will, he will face retribution. Who can change the tragedy of him receiving retribution?
1. Li Shifeng, former director of the Dongshan District Court in Hegang City, in his 50s, was of Korean nationality. While he was on duty, he illegally sentenced practitioners and destroyed their families. Li Shifeng has already died.
2. Liu Lanzhu, former head of the Xinshan District Court in Hegang city, was in his 50s. While he was on duty in his district, he handed down many unjust rulings. He fabricated evidence and illegally sentenced practitioners. After he was promoted to the Middle Court, he suddenly died from an acute illness while he was on vacation in another city.
3. Liu Peiheng was former chief procurator of the Xinshan District Procuratorate in Hegang City. He actively participated in the prosecution and sentencing of Falun Gong practitioners. Two years ago, Liu Peiheng died.
4. Qu Jixian was the former CCP secretary and Li Zhongqing was the director of the Longmei Group of the Ore Service Department of Hegang City. They were not only corrupt but also participated in the persecution. While they were on duty, they plundered widely. They also incited hatred in the Ore Service System. They hurt people by slandering Falun Dafa. They illegally fired many practitioners from their jobs. In 2006, their embezzlement was exposed. Qu Jixian committed suicide, and Li Zhongqing was sentenced to a long prison term.
5. Teng Xiancai was a former head of the Middle Court of Hegang City. As head of the court, not only did he fail to carry out justice fairly, he also brought disaster by becoming an accomplice of Jiang's gang in the persecution of Falun Gong. He illegally sentenced practitioners and let these good and innocent people suffer in jail. In many meetings, he promoted hatred toward Falun Gong and slandered Dafa. All his bad deeds were for his own ends. In late October 2008, Teng Xiancai and his wife were taken away by the Disciplinary Commission of the province. Teng Xiancai was placed into Shuang Gui. (Translator: The way the CCP punishes its own members. The accused must explain his crimes at a specific time and location and is usually sentenced to jail afterwards.) His reputation was destroyed. His predecessor, the former head of the Middle Court, also received retribution for persecuting Falun Gong. He had a liver transplant and now needs drugs to stay alive.
6. Tao Lijun, former proxy judge of the criminal court of the Middle Court of Hegang City, actively participated in the illegal sentencing of practitioners. He slandered and insulted Dafa many times. In April 2004, while Tao Lijun was at home cleaning his windows, he fell from the fifth floor. He was less than 30 years old when he died.
7. Shi Dongchen, former CCP secretary of the Gongnong District of Hegang City, was in his 50s. Since 1999, he actively worked with Zhang Xinfu, the corrupt official and former CCP secretary of the city. He persecuted numerous innocent practitioners in his district. In the spring of 1999, while on duty in the Gongnong District, he used water nozzles as wide as a small rice bowl to spray water onto practitioners in Xinshiji Plaza. Many times, he organized and ordered agents to persecute practitioners. Nearly 100 practitioners were consequently arrested and detained. In the Gongnong District, the number of practitioners sentenced to forced labor or jail terms was the highest among the six nearby districts and two nearby counties. He was responsible for the death of practitioners Tan Yanjun and Qu Jie. In 2005, while Shi Dongchen was on his way back to Hegang City from a trip, he suddenly died from an acute illness.
8. Shen Kuifu, former political director of the Shuyuan Police Station, in his 50s, actively followed Jiang's gangsters and Zhang Xinfu, the former CCP secretary of Hegang City. Shen Kuifu did not even let up on the elderly. In late 2001, he and others broke into the home of an elderly practitioner. They ransacked the home and detained and insulted the elderly practitioner at the police station. A year later, Shen Kuifu died from acute illness.
9. Chen Shidong, former deputy CCP secretary of the Coal Selection Company of the Coal Group in Hegang City, was the person primarily responsible for the persecution of Falun Gong in that area. He arrested and detained practitioners in his workplace, temporarily removed them from their jobs, and tried to force them to write statements promising to give up the practice. In September 2000, just as he was about to be promoted, he suddenly died from a heart attack while in his office.
10. Li Jun, former deputy director of the Police Department of Hegang City, was in charge of transportation. He actively provided special transportations for the 610 Office, to assist in the persecution Falun Gong practitioners. In 2001, right before he was due to be promoted, he died from a car accident while he was on a trip to a meeting in another city.
11. Xin Dejun, former officer in the Xinshan Police Department in Hegang City, actively followed Jiang's gangsters in persecuting Falun Gong. He brutally tortured practitioners. Xin Dejun was sentenced to jail for embezzlement.
12. Zheng Fulin, former section chief of the Legal Section of the Police Department of Hegang City, and Yuan Xuexi and Zhang Wanlin, former director and deputy director of the Xiangyang Police Department, actively participated in and planned the arrests of practitioners. In October 1999, all three were punished for embezzlement and other crimes. Yuan Xuexi was fired, Zhang Wanglin was sentenced to two years in jail, and Zheng Fulin was sentenced to four years in jail.
13. Tang Dajuan from the Xiangyang District in Hegang City actively participated in the persecution of practitioners since 1999. She monitored and reported on practitioners for a long time. People tried to clarify the truth to her, but she refused to listen and continued her crimes. Because of her reports, practitioners were arrested. In November 2006, Tang Dajuan had a sudden stroke and she died instantly.
Ancient Chinese said that heaven and earth would know every thought in a human heart as soon as it was generated. If good is not rewarded and bad does not receive retribution, there must be something wrong with the universe.
We'd like to compassionately remind policemen, those working for 610 Office, and the government officials who are still persecuting Falun Gong: If you can face your dangerous situation and do something good to make up for your mistakes, you can still save your future. Humans all have a compassionate side. A mainland Chinese lawyer said while defending innocent practitioners, "Strong and weak at this moment depend on who has more power, but history will judge right and wrong fairly." Every friend in our dark land, wake up! Choose a beautiful future and step onto a path of a bright and happy life! Only by doing so will you understand the precious opportunity of coming to the human world, and will you meet the expectations of practitioners that hope you will be safe, benevolent, and rewarded.
