Finland: Raising Awareness about the Persecution of Falun Gong in China

On November 22nd, Falun Gong practitioners in Finland once again came to Helsinki Central Train Station to expose the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s nine years of brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

It was the coldest day yet this winter with a biting wind chill. Explaining via a loudspeaker time and again in Finish the Nine Commentaries on Communist Party and the resultant masses quitting the CCP, practitioner Sinikka exposed the CCP’s murderous nature and its brutal persecution of Falun Gong, urging people to chose a bright future for themselves when the heavens are about to eliminate the CCP. Other smiling practitioners and volunteers sincerely offered passers-by leaflets about the Nine Commentaries and the CCP’s organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners. Parents with babies in push chairs, young couples, families signed one after another to support quitting the CCP and stopping the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong.

The few Chinese people who passed by that day gave very positive responses. Accepting the Nine Commentaries and the special edition on quitting the CCP, they also learned more truths from practitioners.

Offering a young Chinese lady Chinese material, practitioner Xiao Wang asked her whether she knew 45 million had quit the CCP and its affiliated organisations. She said, “Yes, I quit as well.” Another young lady also talked with Xiao Wang for a long time. It was the first time that she saw the Epoch Times and found it interesting. She had not joined any CCP affiliated organisations but her parents might have. She promised to show them the material.

Practitioner Ms. Jiang said, “Since the Nine Commentaries was published four years ago, I have been distributing it through various channels and urging people to quit the CCP. First it was friends and family, classmates, colleagues. Later via the internet and telephone, I clarified the truth and urged people in the Chinese mainland to quit. I also urged people to quit in person at tourist attractions, at events to promote Falun Gong, in front of the Chinese Embassy and in the street where I met people by chance. In a few years I have helped nearly a thousand people to declare their renouncement on the Epoch Times website. I feel very strongly that more and more Chinese people have read the Nine Commentaries and learned the truth. It is easier and easier to ask people to quit. In the beginning I was often abused and humiliated by those deceived. Nowadays, one would quit at a few words of encouragement. Also I often hear such words as, “You’ve been working hard!”, “Thank you very much!” “I will remember: Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance is good!.”

For four years, the Nine Commentaries has been translated into various languages and spread far and wide in and outside of China. Over 45 million Chinese people across the world have quit the CCP, awakening Chinese people world wide and westerners of different colour, countries, speaking different languages. Not only did the kind-hearted Finns actively accept the materials to learn the truth, many also helped to support those Chinese who quit the CCP and stopping the CCP from persecuting Falun Gong.

At the event that day, some Finns took the materials themselves and asked for one more for their friends. Having got the leaflets some talked with practitioners and volunteers and did not leave until receiving the English Nine Commentaries newspaper.

With a baby in a push chair, Mr. Antti came up to the stand to sign. He said to practitioner Anna, “It is very important that you clarify the truth to the Finns. You should contact the Finnish government and MPs so that they would not see only the economic situation with China. They should say no to the CCP’s persecution.” He added, “In history, the Finns knew that the Soviet Union was bad. People should know about the (evil nature of the) CCP. Well done!”
