What's your definition of good and evil? 因果 一条一条算。If you believe in karma, then must follow Buddha's definition of wholesome and unwholesome. Eg from my closed one, didn't gossip about others, friendly and helpful but due to ignorance killed animals. Passed on at young age. The cause for longevity is no killing. Some have very good karma, thus the effect of killing may not take effect so soon but ordinary people like us are different, if not we won't be reborn as ordinary being 普通百姓。

Then why so evil people huat good people suffer?

The effects of karma are not always immediate and can manifest in this lifetime or the next. The suffering of good people now might be due to past unwholesome deeds, while the bad karma of evil people may not have ripened yet.

The Buddha said, "Speak or act with an impure mind and trouble will follow you as the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart... Speak or act with a pure mind and happiness will follow you as your shadow, unshakable."

Karma is like a seed—it ripens only if it meets the right conditions. Some karma must come to fruition, but many of our past actions are influenced by our current way of life. Living wisely now can help our good karma mature and weaken or prevent our bad karma from ripening.

I dare not to say those which you quoted in Chinese above. Those who are already rich and powerful means they have many good karma to exhaust but I don't have. Thus, I better observe the law of karma.

I will just leave the following here, hopefully it helps with the understanding and points a way out for people who need it.

Kamma is like a seed​

First of all, not all Kamma has to ripen as a matter of necessity. Although it has the tendency to ripen, it does not ripen inevitably. Kamma is like a seed. Seeds ripen only if they meet the right conditions. But if they do not meet the right conditions they remain as seeds; if they are destroyed they can never ripen at all. Similarly, it can be said of kamma that kamma pushes for an opportunity to mature. It has a tendency to mature. If kamma finds the opportunity then it will bring its results. If it does not meet the right conditions it won't ripen. One kamma can even be destroyed by another kamma. So it is important to understand that our present way of life, our attitudes and conduct, can influence the way our past kammas mature. Some past kammas are so powerful that they have to come to fruition. We cannot escape them no matter what we do. But the greatest number of our past kammas are conditioned by the way we live now. If we live heedlessly, unwisely, we will give our past bad kammas the opportunity to ripen and this will either hinder the good kammas from producing their effects or else cancel out their good effects.

On the other hand, if we live wisely now, we will give our good kammas the opportunity to mature and bar out our bad kammas or weaken them, destroy them or prevent them from coming to fruition. - Bhikku Boddhi

Yeah, should be cause 因， condition 缘, effect 果。We can't change the cause if it's already planted but we can change the condition, this is why we need to practise the Dharma.
