(Clearwisdom.net) As on every weekend, on May 23, 2009, practitioners in St. Petersburg took to the streets to introduce Falun Gong to the public, and to expose the CCP's atrocities in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China.

A young lady who understood the truth expressed her appreciation to Falun Gong practitioners with fresh flowers
Passers-by sign the petition to condemn the CCP
Practitioners set up display boards near a subway station, and distributed flyers to passers-by. Each display board depicted one aspect of the persecution with vivid pictures. If one read all the display boards, he would have a thorough understanding of the wide spread of Falun Dafa around the world and the CCP's persecution in China.
Many people stopped to read the display boards carefully, listen to practitioners' explanations. Those people who understood came one after another to sign petitions to condemn the CCP.
Two young people, after seeing the display boards, asked practitioners many questions. They were very excited after learning the truth. It seemed that they had got something in their lives they had been waiting for a long time. They ran to a flower shop and returned with a bunch of fresh flowers to express their appreciation to the practitioners.
Another passer-by told a practitioner, "I am a middle-school teacher. I really wish to invite you to our school to explain the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance for students, and to teach them how to be tolerant. It is what they need."
