Following Mr. Wang Ching-Cheng's speech was a speech given by the head of Yuching Township, Mr. Ye Chih-Cheng. He said that his knowledge of Falun Gong is limited, but since over 100 million people around the world practice, Falun Gong must be a very powerful way to teach people how to be good. He expressed his hope that the teachers would take the lead to teach villagers to learn Falun Gong. He also said that the township government is going to plan to support Falun Gong activities. In the end, he welcomed practitioners to again come and hold similar activities.
At 9:00 a.m., a practitioner played a video of Teacher's exercise instructions, and afterwards, he taught the exercises to the attendees.

At 1:50 p.m., Kaohsiung County's Chuangching National Primary School teacher, Chang Chi-Mei, shared her cultivation experience. In her report, she talked about why she took the path of cultivating Falun Gong and told of her positive changes after practicing. She also stressed that Falun Dafa cultivation included both xinxing [mind or heart nature] cultivation and the exercises.
At 3:40 p.m., the practitioner played the "Truth of Self-immolation" and "Falun Dafa's Spreading Around the World" videos. This event concluded the first day's course.
At 8:00 a.m. on June 30, the practitioners taught the second, third, and fourth sets of exercises until noon.
At 1:30 p.m., a practitioner and physician named Cheng shared his cultivation experience with his practice of Falun Gong. He is the chief physician in the orthopedics department of Chimei Hospital, and his wife is also a practitioner of Falun Gong. When he took up the practice of Falun Gong, his wife didn't understand what it really was, and the couple always had friction on the issue of his belief. After his two years' effort though, she finally understood the broad and profound principles of Falun Gong and became a practitioner.

The schoolteachers were amazed by the power of Falun Gong to teach people how to be good. The other video was entitled: "Peaceful Journey of Falun Dafa."
At 3:50 p.m., the practitioners arranged about 40 minutes for the schoolteachers in attendance to talk about their thoughts and opinions about the two day course. Several teachers were interested in Falun Gong and wanted to know more about the practice.
