On February 26, 2005, the Falun Dafa Association hoped to allow people to experience the beauty of Falun Dafa by giving wonderful artistic performances on United Administration Square in Nantou County. The entertainment included a traditional fairy dance and a choir, as well as recitals on the piano and other traditional instruments. The event received great support from the Nantou County Congress, the county government and Puli town office. Congressmen Zhou Yixiong and Wu Dunyi and the Mayor of Puli, Ma Wenjun, gave speeches and expressed their support for promoting the spirit of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.
The Mayor of Puli, Ms. Ma Wenjun shared her thoughts about this activity: "Many Falun Gong practitioners here look so healthy and radiant. They have organised this art performance so well and promoted good thinking. They make society more peaceful through such excellent activities. Today's entertainment by the Falun Dafa Association brought us a peaceful heart. It is exactly what is needed in our society. More activities like this are needed to improve the general atmosphere of our society."

Renowned painter and calligrapher Mr. Li Fengfu gave high praise. He said, "It is a very positive activity, especially when violence is prevalent in our society. This art has a very positive influence on the general atmosphere of society." Mr. Li promotes traditional Chinese poetry, calligraphy, guqin and painting. On the subject of the CCP's sabotage of Chinese traditional culture, he said, "During the Cultural Revolution, Red Guards burned so many guqin! They destroyed the traditional culture. Fortunately, it's been preserved in Taiwan!" Mr. Li doesn't give performances at every concert, but he took his antique guqin from the Tang Dynasty to perform at this event to show his support for "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."
Mr. Cai Jinli, CEO of the Lanshan Coffee Company, gave the activity incredible support. Many celebrities attended the activity as a result of his invitation. Having lived in Taipei for thirty years, Mr. Cai is well established in his career. However, once he almost died from a serious disease. Since his recovery, he has a strong urge to contribute to his hometown and society, and he helped make this entertainment possible. With encouragement from his Falun Gong practitioner friends, he is determined to read Zhuan Falun [the main text of Falun Dafa] from cover to cover.
Lies Collapse by Themselves
Many Falun Gong practitioners had prepared for as long as a half year for this activity. Ms. Wu Suzheng talked about its meaning: "Beautiful Puli Town is where many excellent artists gather. But many of them have been to mainland China and heard many slanderous reports about Falun Gong from the Chinese media. We want to show the beauty of 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance' to artists, government officials, people's representatives and celebrities throughout today's entertainment world. An Anti-Torture Exhibition in Zhongxing New Village tomorrow will expose the cruel persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party."
