Korea: Fine Art Exhibition Entitled "Uncompromising Courage" Held in Seoul

"Uncompromising Courage," a fine art exhibition, was held in a peaceful atmosphere in Seoul from October 4th to October 7th, 2004.

Opening ceremony of the art exhibition

The exhibition was sponsored by the Falun Dafa Association of Korea. Congressman Shin Hak-Yong, Director of the Cultural Academy, and others attended the opening ceremony. The Uri Party Congressmen sent greetings and expressed regret for not being able to attend the ceremony.

Congressman Shin, an active supporter of legislation against genocide in September, gave a congratulatory speech at the opening ceremony. He praised Falun Gong for being key to solving social problems caused by deteriorating morality. He hoped this art exhibition would allow more people to know Falun Gong.

At an interview with NTDTV after the ceremony, Congressman Shin said he could not understand why Jiang Zemin has persecuted such a great cultivation method. The director of Amnesty International in Korea, Pu Nanshi, said he had known about the bad human rights situation in China for some time, but he hadn't realised the persecution was so bad until he visited this art exhibition. As a human rights organisation, Amnesty International has great concerns for this issue and is pursuing all possible ways to stop the persecution.

Many people visited the exhibition. They were amazed to see the two hundred square metre exhibition hall had been filled with such unique and outstanding artwork. They asked about cultivation in Falun Dafa and were reluctant to leave the exhibition.

After closing in Seoul, the exhibition will tour to Daejon, Gwangju and Busan.
