On July 6th, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners from Wellington, New Zealand accepted an invitation from Victoria University to participate in the arts festival organised by the university. At the arts festival, practitioners set up a booth. Some practitioners demonstrated the exercises while others distributed leaflets and other materials about Falun Gong, and introduced the practise to people who were interested.
The arts festival was held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Many students passed by and practitioners distributed materials to them with a smile. When they met Chinese students, they took the initiative to hand materials to them. As the arts festival was held around lunch time, in order to make it convenient for the people having lunch, a few Chinese practitioners took the initiative and made a few hundred dumplings the night before for the students.
There was a middle-aged Chinese woman who initially watched us demonstrate the Falun Gong exercises from far away. Later on, she came to us and took a leaflet from a practitioner. The practitioner also gave her a Chinese VCD. She said that she would take a good look when she got home.
A Taiwanese student was sitting nearby and watched us giving out materials and talking with people about Falun Gong. As he was leaving, he said to a practitioner, "Keep it up!"
