Taiwan: Exercise Demonstration Leads to a Sharp Increase in Number of Attendees to the 9-day Lecture Series

Falun Gong practitioners from the National Show San Primary School practice site in Taipei County hold group exercises every morning from 4:30 am to 7:00 am. After practice, they take the initiative to clean the site. In particular, they help clean the campus during winter and summer vacations. Their behaviour won praise and appreciation from the school. The principal appreciates their selfless contribution very much and therefore greatly supports Falun Gong. He issued a proclamation in honour of Falun Gong 3 years ago.

In May 2004, the school held its annual sports meet. One student's mother, Ms. Chen Mingmei, is a Falun Gong practitioner. She coordinated the exercise demonstration. During the 10-minute demonstration, more than 100 practitioners simultaneously demonstrated the five sets of exercises. Their yellow exercise suits and the elegant exercise movements attracted a great number of people to ask for more information about the practice. The more they learned about Falun Gong, the more anxious they became to learn the practice. As a result, there has been a sharp increase in the number of attendees to the 9-day lecture series.
