Germany: The world’s people awaken

On October 7th, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners from Leipzig, Berlin, and Dresden held an Information Day in Railway Square, the busiest place in Leipzig. It had the theme, “Stop the Persecution, Stop Organ Harvesting”. Many shoppers stopped in their tracks to read the information boards and the leaflets being handed out. Others listened carefully while practitioners answered their enquiries. Some queued up to sign their names in support for Falun Gong on petition forms.

The famous Railway Square in Leipzig is always packed with people. Even though the weather that day was not ideal, a steady stream of people from all over the world still bore witness to the beauty of the exercises demonstrated by practitioners as well as the atrocities the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has committed against Falun Gong.

It was apparent from people’s feedback that they were becoming more and more comprehending. They realised more and more acutely the atrocities committed by the evil CCP. A man of Chinese origin came to the information stand and said, “Since I was a child I witnessed the CCP’s persecution of my family. They were paraded down the streets with tall hats and plaques hanging from their necks. Yet I had to renounce relationship with them and run around propagating Mao’s thoughts. I cannot forget this kind of distortion of humanity for the rest of my life. I know all about the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong today. What I want to say is that Jiang Zemin is the Chinese Nazi. He will definitely be brought to justice.”

A couple of young students, who just came from China to study in Germany, stopped not too far from the information stand. From their stunned expression one could see that they were shocked by everything in front of their eyes. When a practitioner offered the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and further information, they were too nervous to accept. With a smile, the practitioner reassured them. The practitioner then patiently explained how innocent Falun Gong practitioners are being persecuted in China and how Falun Gong is spread across eighty countries in the world. The two students became increasingly relaxed as they listened. They volunteered that they witnessed Falun Gong practitioners being arrested in China. Finally they took all the materials and left with smiles.

The bright sun broke through the clouds and coloured the area flame-red. The Falun Gong exercise music gradually came to a stop. Falun Gong practitioners who had been busy all day did not feel tired at all. The joy of seeing more people awakening and choosing a bright future for themselves filled the heart and soul of every participant of this activity.
