Hong Kong: A Good Place to Learn the Truth about Falun Gong

A special scene in Hong Kong that often leaves a deep impression on tourists from Mainland China is the display of large banners with the words, "Falun Dafa Is Great" and "Global Trial of Jiang Zemin." At major tourist locations, Falun Gong practitioners display large exhibition boards and distribute leaflets containing information about Falun Gong, come rain or shine. They tell people rationally and peacefully, "The world knows Falun Dafa is great. Please work together to stop the persecution of innocent people trying to live according to 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.'" They spend their vacation and their own money to call attention to the catastrophe in China, to the freedom of belief and to tell people of the deceit and lies of the Chinese dictator and ex-president Jiang Zemin and his regime. People are often moved by the unselfishness of these Falun Gong practitioners.

Some tourists give us a thumbs-up. Some smile and nod their head to tell us they already knew these facts. Several tour guides and Chinese tourists shouted "Falun Dafa Is Great!" They read the display boards carefully. Chinese tourists were very happy to read about the "Global Trial of Jiang Zemin" and said, "Jiang's days as dictator are numbered."

Upon seeing photos of persecution victims, including an eight-month-old baby, the visitors looked sad and sympathetic. They couldn't agree with Falun Gong practitioners more when practitioners explained to them that Jiang's persecution of Falun Gong had greatly harmed the national image of China and that Falun Gong practitioners were making every possible effort to stop the persecution of their fellow practitioners. Looking at the peaceful practitioners meditating, the tourists agreed that Falun Gong practitioners are very kind people.

Some tourists from the Mainland were too afraid to take any materials at first, but many eventually did after seeing the exhibition and videos highlighting the true facts about Falun Gong, and after seeing the positive attitude toward Falun Gong exhibited by their team leaders, tour guides, fellow travellers and policemen. A local resident said, "I greatly admire your strong will and persistence!" By supporting Falun Gong, these kind people are laying a good foundation for their bright future. Falun Gong practitioners' peacefulness, rationality, self-control, sincerity, kindness and forbearance have won their recognition and support.

Some Chinese people asked for materials for themselves and also for their friends. Many took pictures and videotaped the practitioners and their display. Having lived under dictatorship, they were so thirsty for the truth. Falun Gong practitioners' effort has paid off. The lies in the Chinese government's propaganda collapsed on themselves when people learnt that Falun Gong has been spread in more than sixty countries throughout the world and has won more than one thousand proclamations including a Nobel Prize nomination. As more and more people learn the facts, the day is getting closer when this injustice is redressed.
