August 9, 2003 was exactly five years since Kalmar City's first Falun Gong practitioner began to practice. After August 9 1998, people in the city have seen Falun Gong practitioners performing the exercises and promoting Dafa in the beautiful and peaceful Castle Park every Saturday morning. After hearing the truth about Falun Gong, many people who took a walk in the park have become Dafa practitioners. During the past five years, practitioners in Kalmar City have become more and more mature and steadfast in their cultivation.
