Cheng Chimei, a representative from the Falun Dafa Association in Taiwan, Mr. Hsu Chijie, the Mayor of Fengshan, and other local VIPs gave speeches at the opening.

Mr. Hsu Chijie said: "Falun Gong practitioners are great. They uphold their belief despite the persecution. Falun Gong has spread all over the world and benefited a lot of people."

"The exhibition shows the journey of Falun Gong. There is a touching story behind every artwork. I hope that the exhibition can help to promote Chinese traditional values in the world. Let us support Falun Gong together and make the world more beautiful."

Ms. Cheng Chimei briefly introduced the art works. There are 34 paintings by 15 artists, all of whom are Falun Gong practitioners. They expressed their understanding of cultivation and experiences through the artwork, hoping to bring a positive impact to society.

Mr. Wu Yongte, a former art professor, guided the guests through the exhibition.

Mr. Cai Yaoyang, a representative of Legislative Member Yu Chenghsian, watched the Shen Yun Performing Arts' show in Kaohsiung. He gave a speech at the opening.

I hope that it can be held at every corner of Taiwan so that more people can share in these beautiful things. I admire Falun Gong for its cultivation, its spirituality and its high level achievements in the arts."

Mr. Liu Delin, a city council member, gave a speech. He said: "I am deeply touched by the art works. It shows how Falun Gong has successfully spread all over the world. We should show respect to it, whether we practise it or not."
