Switzerland: Stories During Activities to Raise Awareness about the Persecution of Falun Gong

Luzerne is a famous tourist spot in Switzerland. Many visitors, including more and more tourists from mainland China, are attracted here by its fame. Falun Gong practitioners from Switzerland think that this is a good place to tell Chinese people about the persecution of Falun Gong face to face, distribute the Epoch Times newspaper's editorial “The Nine Commentaries of the Communist Party” and inform people how to quit the CCP. For this reason, Swiss practitioners come here in turns five days a week.

When meeting tourists from mainland China, there were many touching stories.

The heart-felt wishes of a Chinese intellectual who supports Falun Gong.

One day in June 2007, Swiss Falun gong practitioners were distributing the “Nine Commentaries” and other materials beside Lake Luzerne. After receiving the materials, a tourist from mainland China said, “I know the situation of Falun Gong in China, I frequently surf on the internet.”

When Falun Gong practitioner asked him about the general public’s opinion of the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China, he said, “I have a highly technical job thus I know a bit more within the community of intellectuals. Most of the intellectuals in China know the truth of this persecution against Falun Gong and they are really against this persecution that was started by Jiang Zemin, however, most people do not dare to speak out. Of course, there are some people who are besotted and willing to support the persecution, yet, only very few of them. All the population in China who understand the truth about Falun Gong sympathise with you and support you, many people are disgusted with this persecution.”

He also said, “I have been to many places, and everywhere I go, I can see Falun Gong practitioners giving out materials and asking people to quit the CCP. You have done so well, I really admire your spirit, I support you.” Before leaving, he shook hand with practitioners and insisted, “When I said I support you, this is not simply my personal stand; this thought represents quite a large percentage of people.”

Falun Gong is the real hope of China

A tourist from mainland China said, “Nowadays in China, money worship is everywhere, everything is about money, everyday it is all about money, money, money. In order to get money, people will fight each other intrigue against each other, society is in chaos. Just take government officials of the CCP as an example, all of them are corrupted, they can corrupt hundred of thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions. Some corrupt government officials will use the sweat and blood money from the civilians in gambling and lose all of it, as they do not care about the life of those people at all. People in China call the CCP the ‘black heart party’, nobody believes in them anymore. You (Falun Gong) are indeed thinking for the civilians. You encourage people to do good deeds lift the moral standard, by doing these exercises people can also gain better health, how nice it is. I have met many Falun Gong practitioners in mainland China, if they found any lost property, such as money or mobile phones on the street, they will try their best to return them to the owner; if they receive excessive change, they will return the exact money to the seller and their moral standards are at such a high level. Furthermore, you spend your own money to print all the material to distribute to let us understand the situation and know the truth. I hope you will continue what you are doing now, Falun Gong practitioners are the real hope of China.”
