(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.
Former Hegang City Police Department Deputy Chief Zhang Chunqing Died
Zhang Chunqing, 61 years old, the former Deputy Chief of the Police Department of Hegang City in Heilongjiang Province, was mainly responsible for the First Detention Center and concurrently served as a manager at the Second Detention Center and House of Detention. He participated many times in the illegal arrest and torture of Falun Gong practitioners. Especially at the Second Detention Center, where he handcuffed Falun Gong practitioners to iron frames to torture them many times. After July 20, 1999, Zhang arranged to have four vicious inmates beat Falun Gong practitioners, with the order to beat them until they give up practicing Falun Gong. Because of his instructions, the inmates used a variety of cruel methods to torture Falun Gong practitioners, which in some cases led to the deaths of the victims.
As a Chinese saying states, one reaps what he sows. In the summer of 2008, Zhang Chunqing had heart surgery. At the end of March 2009, he suddenly died of a cerebral hemorrhage.
We hope that the police and inmates who participated in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners take this as a warning and repent of their wrongdoing.
