(Clearwisdom.net) "Thank you. You are China's only hope." Giving Falun Gong practitioner, Ms. Pan, a squeeze of the hand, Decai (alias) from China hurried to catch up with his friends. They had come to Munich to watch an afternoon soccer match between China and Germany. In the morning, while sightseeing in downtown Munich, he ran into Falun Gong practitioners holding activities at Marienplatz in support of the thirty million people quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. After talking to Ms. Pan, Decai decided to quit the Communist Youth League using an pseudonym. As he was leaving, Decai happily shook Ms. Pan's hand and repeated those words - You are China's only hope.

The public carefully reads posters and other materials about Falun Gong and the persecution in China

Signing a petition calling for a stop to the persecution

Reading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party is the best way to learn the truth about the CCP

High school students proudly sign the petition

On January 12, 2008, Munich welcomed large groups of Chinese people, mostly spectators for the China-Germany game. Seeing the Falun Gong practitioners holding activities at Marienplatz, many took photos excitedly in front of banners urging people to quit the CCP. A student praised practitioners aloud, saying, "You are so brave!" Many Chinese people read the exhibits carefully. Quite a few were willing to accept materials such as the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, and Dissolve the Party Culture. Some said they would seriously consider quitting the CCP. A handful agreed to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations on the spot. Two Chinese officials lingered a long time in front of the stand to hear the information from practitioners. After reading the exhibits and related materials, a young German lad asked for some Chinese leaflets and gave them to the Chinese groups.

Having read the displays, many Germans were stunned to learn about the CCP's atrocities of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners. One after another they signed the petition form calling for a stop to the crimes. A member of the Organ Transplant Association, Anne Tastisch, told the reporter, "The association is against organ harvesting without the donor's consent. We have published a few reports about what is happening in China to tell people about this (organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners) in the hope of joining efforts in stopping the evil."

High school students Moritz Bhmecke-Echwafert and Franziska Most, from Kassel, a city in central Germany, signed the petition immediately after seeing the pictures. Franziska was shocked to hear about the CCP's organ harvesting. She was very sad about not being able to help much, other than signing the petition. Moritz condemned this behavior (organ harvesting) as barbaric and inhuman. For his conscience, he wanted to sign. Franziska felt that the Olympics should not be held in China. Hiding such a dark side behind the halo of the Olympics, the CCP does not deserve to host the games, she said.

One German woman, Elisabeth Reicht, is a resident of the US. She is a teacher specializing in human rights. She has seen the large scale parades to support quitting the CCP in Los Angeles. This time, she signed the petition form again. She said that she had learned about how Falun Gong is being persecuted in China. When she first heard about it, she was shocked, and surprised that the government had done virtually nothing about this. Nor had the community or the media had any kind of discussion on this topic. She felt that this should be more widely publicized. She signed to support Falun Gong practitioners. What is happening in China is mind-boggling, she said, and the international community must do something to apply pressure on the CCP to stop this behavior.

A couple from Munich who had read Jung Chang's book, Mao: The Unknown Story, knew about China's dark past. However, with the influx of Chinese tourists in Germany and elsewhere, they thought that China had changed for the better. They never imagined such appalling secrets behind the glorious front. They hope that signing the petition will make an impact. The gentleman believes that it is very important for people throughout the world to call attention to the persecution and support the practitioners in China.
