(Clearwisdom.net) Editors' Note: In both Western and Chinese culture, 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 actions that are in harmony with this principle, while actions 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.

Deputy secretary of the Jilin Agriculture Committee Tian Yuan was actively involved in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Ahead of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Sixteenth Party Congress, Tian Yuan organized a search through the homes of practitioners who worked for the Agriculture Committee and sent practitioners to brainwashing centers. Practitioners clarified the truth to him but he always rejected their attempts to turn him from wrongdoing. A practitioner told Tian that he was committing a crime in persecuting practitioners and he would face karmic retribution for his actions. Tian Yuan did not believe it and even fired the practitioner.

Yu Zhiquan also joined in the persecution with Tian Yuan. In order to gain the favor of his superiors he actively persecuted practitioners. Practitioners clarified the truth to him as well and asked him to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. He answered, "I belong to the CCP, whether I'm alive or dead." Yu Zhiquan suddenly died of heart disease.

After seeing his partner's fate, Tian Yuan became worried, so he went to the hospital for a checkup. In April 2007, he was diagnosed with late stage pancreatic cancer. He died in August 2007.
