(Clearwisdom.net) During the afternoon of December 12, 2004, with warm sunshine and a gentle breeze, Chungcheng Park in Dahsi Town, Taoyuan County was vibrant with streams of vendors and tourists. Falun Gong practitioners held a series of activities that day, including demonstrating the exercises, presenting informative materials and clarifying the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution taking place in China. The beautiful exercise music and peaceful exercises attracted many people's attention.

An older man stood in front of the display boards for quite a long time and was reluctant to leave. When a practitioner walked up to him and greeted him, he happily said, "I know this practice; those who practice it all say it is good." When he saw the pictures depicting the brutality against these practitioners, he became upset and said loudly, "the Communist Party has no reason to do this. The practitioners practice so well and benefited from the practice, but the Party can't bear seeing others live a good life. It's really unreasonable!" Finally, he took the informational materials and thanked the practitioners repeatedly. Large groups of people passed by and would spontaneously stop and read the display boards, and thus gain a general understanding of Falun Dafa.

A passer-by immediately learned the exercises from practitioners. A practitioner from a distant city (Keelung) took the initiative to explain to his relatives who traveled with him about the popularity of Falun Dafa around the world and the persecution of Falun Gong in China. Some people enthusiastically asked if there were practice sites where they lived. People in the Dahsi area showed great interest in the newly established practice site at the area, and said that they would go to take a look.

Many children who came with their parents constantly looked at the balloons in the hands of the little Falun Gong practitioners. They happily thanked the young practitioners who politely walked up to them and presented them balloons and told them that "Falun Dafa is good." Mothers always smiled and read the materials we offered them. One of the mothers nodded her head and said, "These little practitioners are indeed pure and cute. We can also have our children learn it!" A boy passed by the exercise demonstration with his family and told his mother that he would like to come learn Falun Gong.
Though the entire activity only lasted two hours, it was very effective. Many people who wanted to learn Falun Gong obtained the materials to get them started, and they also expressed their sense of justice: "We oppose Mainland China's current suppression of such a good practice that improves people's moral standards. We will show more concern about it and help stop the persecution."
