(Clearwisdom.net) The Photo & Authentic Paintings by Modern Masters Exhibition series, initiated by Ms. Dai of Australia, toured Taiwan, holding twenty exhibitions in just six months. The exhibitions reached countless Taiwanese, and helped them deepen their understandings about Falun Dafa. During the last exhibition of the series, "Portrait of Emperor Kangxi" (the greatest emperor of the Qing Dynasty) was shown for the first time. The final exhibition of this series was held at Banqiao district of Taipei on August 29. Many VIPs and local residents attended the closing ceremony.
In a speech, legislative member Wang Shuhui [phonetic] said: "Though the hurricane caused much damage in our county, Banqiao survived with minimal damage due to luck brought by this exhibition!"
The director of the stadium hosting the exhibition said: "I paid special attention to the practitioners, and I noticed that they are very special. They treated every exhibition viewer with kindness and sincerity. I listened to several volunteers introducing the exhibition, and I found that they were very professional. I also saw the selfless dedication from Ms. Dai and her son Mr. Dai Dongni. They have really lived up to the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance." We should all follow and promote these principles."

When hurricane Elly hit Banqiao, a giant glass window of the stadium was about to collapse due to the strong wind. The staff had exhausted all resources and could not improve the situation. The stadium property and the precious paintings and photos were in great danger. A practitioner then called some practitioners who are carpenters and engineers. Soon, eleven practitioners came to the site and used boards to support the glass. The glass and other property of the stadium were saved, and the exhibition continued as usual the next day. The staff members on duty were very grateful to the practitioners. Mr. Wen said: "Only Falun Gong practitioners could do this in such severe weather, it would impossible for ordinary people to do so."
