As Stockholm is situated at high altitude, it is early winter this time of the year. Since the temperature has dropped to about zero degree Celsius, leaves are covered with a layer of silver frost, and the small pond is covered with thin ice. Falun Gong practitioners displayed photos and posters on the ground in the Square. Regardless of the chilly wind, they demonstrated the five sets of Falun Gong exercises to traditional-style Chinese exercise music. In the meantime, some practitioners distributed flyers promoting Falun Gong and exposing the Chinese Communist regime’s atrocities of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.

As Liljeholm is a city situated at the intersection of subway lines and the railway, there are many people on the streets. Many passersby stopped to view the demonstration of the Falun Gong exercises and asked for flyers. Some of them had heard of Falun Gong, but it was the first time for them to see the demonstration of the exercises. A youngster learned the exercises on the spot, while a journalist from a local newspaper wanted to know the location of a practicing site so as to interview practitioners and carry a report in the newspaper.

After reading a leaflet, a man approached a practitioner and chatted with him, saying that he didn’t know about the Chinese Communist regime’s persecution of Falun Gong and that it is incredible that the atrocities are taking place in the world nowadays. The practitioners explained to him the popularity of Falun Gong around the world and the facts about the persecution of innocent people in China. When the practitioner asked him to tell the fact to his friends, the man said that he would explain the facts to as many people as possible, so that they would be able to realise the evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party and condemn the atrocities altogether.
