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 the Jiang regime, they were pushed into persecuting Dafa disciples. 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.

Zhang Xiuming is in his 40's, and is Deputy Police Chief of Chicheng County in Hebei Province. As a head police officer, he brutally persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. Because of him, dozens of Dafa practitioners were illegally sent to labor camps, jails and detention centers. Due to his actions, Dafa practitioner Ms. Jiang Shuhua was tortured to death. Now, Zhang Xiuming is dying of cancer. His wife is also seriously ill. This is a warning that those who have committed such evil crimes will not escape karmic retribution.

Song Zengjia is a villager in Songjiayu Village, Dazhangzhuang Township in Yiyuan County, Zibo City of Shandong Province. A few years ago, he was working for the township government. Since the persecution of Falun Gong began he has actively persecuted many Dafa practitioners. Before the persecution started, he enjoyed excellent health. But in less than two years, he developed a brain disease and was then hospitalized for almost the next two years. The mounting hospital bills put him in deep debt for the rest of his life. He now very much regrets his actions. He has come to know that Falun Gong practitioners as well as their families have benefited from practicing Falun Gong. He realizes that if he had not persecuted Dafa practitioners, he would not have ended up like this.

The ancient people said, "You should mend your fence before another sheep is lost to the wolf." This person should really do something to correct his own wrong-doings.
