(Clearwisdom.net) In July 2008, the ship I was on anchored at the Port of Incheon in Korea. Incheon is a big port. Every day more than ten ships with Chinese crews working on board anchor here, so there are a lot of Chinese crew members around. Normally after ships arrive at the harbor, the crew likes to go ashore to look around or shop. Usually, most of them come ashore from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m.
One evening a crew member said to me, "I once picked up a Chinese newspaper from a Chinese shop. It was very good. It was The Epoch Times. Its contents were similar to what you've said [about Falun Gong and the persecution]." Suddenly, I had an idea. If Dafa practitioners could give out copies of The Epoch Times newspapers outside the customs area in Inchon, that would be very good. Ships' crews normally are not able to go home for a week or even for several months. Chinese newspapers are very precious to them, and they keep them and circulate them among themselves.
Following are some of the big ports around the world:
Japan: Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya, Yokohama, and Tokyo
Hong Kong
Taiwan's major ports (In Taiwan, Chinese crew members are not allowed to go ashore. If possible, practitioners could go to the wharf to give out newspapers.)
Korea: Incheon, Pusan, Masan, Pohang, Ulsan, Kunsan
All the major ports in Singpore, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and other Asian countries.
Europe's major ports
Major ports in South and North America
Major ports in Australia and New Zealand
Chinese labor is cheap. In recent years, with the improvement in educational levels of Chinese crew members, the shipowners from developed countries have started to employ more and more Chinese. I hope practitioners can deliver copies of The Epoch Times to these crew members if at all possible.
