Chinese Communist Party Officials in Zhuolu County, Hebei Province Suffer Karmic Retribution Resulting from Their Crimes of Persecuting Falun Dafa Practitioners

Editors' Note: Each time we publish news of this nature, we do so with heavy hearts. These people started off as public servants, but under the intense pressure applied by former president Jiang Zemin and his followers, they were pushed into persecuting those who practise Falun Dafa. In the process of destroying the lives of kind, law-abiding citizens, they have sealed their own fates and inevitably faced karmic retribution as punishment. If it weren't for Jiang's wicked orders, perhaps their fates would have been different.

The following are some examples of how CCP (Chinese Communist Party) officials in Zhuolu County, Hebei Province received karmic retribution for persecuting Falun Dafa:

1. Banfu, a former CCP Secretary of Zhuolu Township, Zhuolu County, closely followed the policy of Jiang's regime to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners since the persecution began on July 20th, 1999. He instructed the officials and police officers in the township to harass the practitioners and monitor them, to confiscate practitioners' books and burn them, to force every practitioner in the township to give up his/her belief in "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance," and to force the practitioners to curse Falun Dafa and its founder and write pledges to denounce their belief. Whoever did not write the pledge would be tortured even more severely. Soon, Banfu developed lung cancer. After spending over three hundred yuan* on medical treatments, he still could not cure his illness, and finally died in August 2005 at the age of fifty-one. *Yuan is the Chinese currency; 500 yuan is equal to the average monthly income of an urban worker in China.

2. He Youcai, a former member of the County CCP Standing Committee and secretary of the Office of County Committee, frequently gave speeches at public conferences demonising Falun Dafa. He also organised the destruction of numerous confiscated Falun Dafa books. Soon after he was moved to Wei County from Zhuolu, he suffered lung cancer. Currently He Youcai is critically ill.

3. Zhang Xiaoguang was previously the chief executive of Zhuolu County. When he was in charge of Zhuolu County, Zhang closely followed Jiang's campaign to torture Falun Dafa practitioners. He instructed others to harass, detain, and monitor Falun Dafa practitioners and send them to forced labour camps. He formed a brainwashing centre at Song Village, took numerous illegally arrested practitioners to the centre for brainwashing, tortured practitioners with various means, broke into practitioners' homes to rob them, and widely extorted money from the practitioners under the guise of "fines." Soon after Zhang moved from Zhuolu County to Zhangjiakou City, he suffered an unknown illness. Since then, his health has been deteriorating. Zhang is currently in critical condition.

4. As a female official at the 610 Office*, Zhang Xiuqin closely followed CCP policy to arrest, brainwash, extort, and persecute Falun Dafa practitioners, and to force them to give up their belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." As a result, she suffered retribution. In her thirties, she suffered a heart attack and underwent a surgery which cost her over one hundred thousand yuan. If she does not change her position towards Falun Dafa practitioners, her outcome will surely be even worse. *The 610 office is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.

5. As the head of the Political Protection Brigade of Zhuolu County and the associate director of the County 610 Office, Dong Fei has since July 20th, 1999 been the "pioneer" in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners in Zhuolu County. His viciousness and brutality in persecuting practitioners is well known in the county. At the age of thirty, he started to suffer heart problems, which happened fairly frequently. Once when he was abducting a Falun Dafa practitioner, he had a heart attack that almost ended his life. Many people told him that this was the result of his vicious persecution of good, kindhearted people, and that if he does not stop doing evil, more disasters will come to him.

6. Xue Peijun, the Section Chief of the Security Protection Office of Xiguan Village, Zhuolu County, created a brainwashing class back in March of 2000. In the brainwashing class, he cursed Falun Dafa and verbally attacked the founder of Falun Dafa. He suffered karmic retribution as a result of these misdeeds, and died of cancer in 2001.
