Italy: "We really feel very good!"

From the 11th to the 13th of November 2005, the annual Biella Health Fair opened again. Italian practitioners participated in this fair for the third time; they hoped to take this opportunity to allow more people to understand Falun Gong. A lot of people visited and practitioners introduced to them the facts of the persecution of practitioners in China, demonstrated the exercises and distributed paper lotus flowers. The banner of "Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance" which hung behind the exhibition stand attracted a lot of people's attention; they all stopped to look in surprise.

A lot of people stopped to talk to practitioners at the stand. They signed their name on the petition calling for the termination of the persecution. Those close to the stand were friendly and came to find out about the situation one after another and signed the petition in support of stopping the persecution. They even learned how to fold the paper lotus flowers. A gentleman, after reading the exhibition boards conscientiously, stopped again to talk with the practitioners for a long time. He expressed the hope to be able to do some things to help stop the persecution soon. Practitioners talked about the courage of the practitioners in China for the past six years and the efforts by overseas practitioners in revealing the truth. They also told him about the things practitioners in China have done in order for the Chinese people to understand the evil persecution by the Chinese Communist Party. This gentleman was moved to tears.

The organiser offered practitioners two opportunities to demonstrate the exercises and teach interested persons. All those who participated took the initiative to learn the exercises. Some learned the exercises and walked up to the stand afterwards to express thanks, saying, "We really feel very good!" They also enquired about practise sites. Practitioners' demonstrations attracted a lot of people to watch. A young man watched for a few minutes and sighed with deep feeling, "It is too beautiful!"
