(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.
Secretary Yao Sirong from Tangshan Steelwork Design Institute Dies from Karmic Retribution
Around January 31, 2009, Hebei Province Tangshan City Steelwork Design Institute's Party Secretary, Yao Sirong, and his wife went to Beijing to send their son off to Japan for his education. On the way back from Beijing to Tangshan City, they got into a car accident. Yao Sirong was killed instantly, and his wife was injured severely with multiple broken bones.
When the accident happened, there were almost no others cars on the road, they were not trying to avoid any cars, nor were they trying to pass any other cars. There was no operational failure, the car was still new, and everything worked normally. For no apparent reason, Yao Sirong's car hit the highway guardrail and he was killed at the scene.
Before December 31, 2008, the people in charge of Tangshan Steelwork Design Institute held a meeting to discuss how the company should react to employee and Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Luo Zhijian, who was facing a detention center sentence. Should the company agree with giving her a light sentence or argue for a harsh one? Yao Sirong argued that they should give her the harsh sentence, so others agreed with him.
Ms. Luo Zhijian, 36 years old, was employed at the Tangshan Steelwork Design Institute. On July 6, 2008, she was illegally arrested by officers from the Tangshan City Chaoyangdao Police Station who had been hiding in ambush, in hopes of catching her for two days. Ms. Luo was detained at Tangshan City's No. 1 Detention Center, where she was beaten and tortured. She was bound to the "dead person's bed" for a whole day. Instead of arguing to give her a harsh punishment, if her company had told the truth, that she had never done anything illegal, she might have been spared such cruel treatment.
Yao Sirong wasn't concerned about the truth when he expressed his opinion, and he died one month later. We hope those people who are still not clear about the truth of Falun Gong will wake up and learn the facts. This is not a joke. If one intentionally or unintentionally persecutes Dafa and Dafa practitioners, then they are doing the worst thing possible: they are harming themselves without knowing it. We don't want to see more tragedies. We only want those people who are lost to see the true situation.
Zhang Wen, Vice President of Shenbeixin District Court in Shenyang City, Dies Suddenly from an Unknown Disease
Zhang Wen, Judges' Committee member and vice president of the Shenbeixin District Court in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, died on February 14, 2009, from an unknown disease. He was only 57 years old. The hospital did not even have time to diagnose his ailment. He died on the way to Beijing for treatment.
Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute practitioners, the Shenbeixin District Court was not only involved in persecuting its own employees, the illegal sentences that were given to local practitioners all went through the Judges' Committee. Recently, from October to December 2008, they sentenced Shenbeixin District practitioners Mr. Xi Changhai to 11 years, Ms. Wang Sumei to 10 years, Mr. Sun Yushu to 8 years, and Mr. Huo Defu to 6 years.
Faced with this sudden death, we ask those officers in Shengbeixin District: please think carefully and repent for the crimes you have committed in following the CCP. Especially think about your attitude and your actions towards Falun Dafa. We are asking you to wake up as soon as possible, and not do bad deeds again.
