Practicing the exercises and collecting signatures at a scenery site
During the signature collection, many people were shocked at the photos showing Jiang's brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners and signed their names to condemn the atrocities. The bus station is located downtown and is near the train station, so there were crowds of passengers, and even more after 4:30 pm. Many people read our flyers after accepting them. Upon hearing about the shooting incident in South Africa and the Jiang faction's extension of state terrorism overseas, many people signed their names to support Falun Gong.
Two people who could neither speak nor hear stopped by our booth for quite a while and signed after reading the truth-clarification literature. A gentleman who conducted business in mainland and knew very well about the persecution talked with practitioners and signed right away. He said he signed to safeguard basic human rights.
Chilung practitioners has conducted many petition drives to protest the Jiang group's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Many citizens have become clear about the cruel persecution and the escalation of the persecution. Falun Gong practitioners' righteousness facing the persecution has aroused many people's conscience. More and more people have come to understand and like Falun Gong.
