(Clearwisdom.net) On September 9, 2007, as usual, Falun Gong practitioners from Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, gathered at the pedestrian mall in the city center to tell people about the goodness of Falun Dafa and expose the CCP's eight-year persecution of Falun Gong.
Demonstrating the practice
Chinese people are among those who come to learn the facts
After learning the facts, a Danish man signs the petition against the persecution
Danish practitioners displayed banners that read, "Falun Dafa is Good", "Lets join hands and end the persecution immediately" and "Immediately stop the eight-year genocide." At the same time, pictures were on display telling how Falun Dafa is spreading around the world and how Falun Gong practitioners are being tortured in China. With peaceful music, some practitioners were demonstrating the five sets of the exercises, and others were distributing truth clarifying materials to passers-by. Such a serene and peaceful scene drew the attention of people coming and going.
Attracted by the demonstration of the exercises, some tourists stopped. Some took pictures, some quietly followed along, and some were shocked at pictures showing the persecution.
Stephen, a western practitioner and his Chinese wife, together with their newborn baby son, also came here to participate in the activity. While the wife was quietly demonstrating the practice, Stephen with the baby was telling people what Falun Gong is and about the persecution happening right now in mainland China. Many passers-by were listening silently. It is inconceivable for people that this persecution is so cruel. It is beyond belief why democratic governments in the West would remain silent about this and allow the persecution to last until now. Many people said sadly: "This is too horrible."
After learning the facts about how the CCP persecutes Falun Gong, a Swedish couple passing by asked for the telephone numbers of Falun Gong practitioners, hoping they could learn more information about Falun Gong.
After looking at the pictures of Gao Rongrong, a Falun Gong practitioner who was disfigured by the police, a western man, choked with sobs pulled a practitioner's hand asking: "What's the matter with this? Please tell me the story about her." When he heard the story, he took the pen and signed the petition against the persecution, hoping that he could get more information about innocent Falun Gong practitioners being persecuted. He asked the practitioner repeatedly: "What else can I do for them?"
When looking at the pictures of Falun Gong practitioners being persecuted in China, a tourist from a former communist country in Eastern Europe said: " I know, I know. " I know that the Communist Party is very wicked. They can do everything bad. I believe the persecution is happening right now in mainland China. I believe that finally justice will win over the evil and Chinese people will have it better. "
When learning about the persecution Falun Gong practitioners have suffered, a Danish man said, "How is such a police state (the CCP) qualified to hold the Olympic Games? We should let more people around us, even the Queen, know this information, and end the most evil persecution in human history."
While looking at Falun Gong practitioners telling people about how their fellow practitioners are suffering from the persecution in mainland China, a young man from the former Soviet Union was standing there quietly listening and waiting. After others had left, he walked forward to express his sympathy for Falun Gong practitioners' sufferings and his hope that this evil Communist regime would be destroyed as soon as possible.
After signing the petition, a tourist from the state of Washington in the USA said to the practitioner: "I understand you, I support you! Well done! Our country is democratic and has freedom. We know that Falun Gong is good! You should go to more schools telling people there about Falun Gong."
When carefully reading the truth clarifying materials, a university professor from Holland talked with practitioners pure-heartedly and raised his opinions and suggestions. From this talk, it could be felt that he somewhat understood the nature of the evil Communist Party. After listening to what the practitioners introduced, he accepted the book, Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.
Among the tourists, there were those who came from mainland China. Because of their being deceived by the CCP's hostile lies and being terrorized by the CCP' cruel reign, some people dared not accept the truth clarifying materials. Even so, still many people were quietly listening to the introduction by the practitioners and listening to how quickly Falun Dafa is spreading all over the world, and listening to the practitioners exposing the CCP's lies. Some broke through their fear and came forward to look at the truth clarifying pictures carefully; some silently raised their cameras in their hands to film this valuable scene they had seen overseas, and some quietly accepted the truth clarifying materials the practitioners gave them.
These commonly seen activities of Falun Gong practitioners overseas during the eight-year persecution have become a bright spot in the free world overseas. Falun Gong practitioners stated that they will not stop exposing the frightful crimes committed by the CCP.
