The three invited Falun Gong practitioners came from different sectors of society. They first talked about the benefits they got both physically and mentally after learning Falun Gong with their own experiences. The practitioners’ open-hearted, enthusiastic and humorous speech won the praise of the TV presenter constantly.

After introducing thoroughly about what Falun Gong was and the spreading situation of Falun Gong throughout the world, the practitioners steered the topic into the exposure of the CCP regime’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners and the profitable crime of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.

They said, ’’While a lot of westerners are enthusiastically learning the exercises which have brought them health and peace, the Falun Gong practitioners in mainland China are suffering from the CCP regime’s brutal persecution and killings at will nationwide.’’

‘’Since the persecution began, it has been verified that over three thousand people have been persecuted to death, hundreds of thousands were forcefully submitted into prisons, labour campus and mental hospitals and have been suffering from the merciless and brutal persecution all the time.’’

Throughout the whole course of the TV programme, footage depicting Falun Gong and the persecution. The clear cutting contrasts of the heart moving scenery of the spreading of Falun Gong to eighty different countries and regions and the mindlessly wild persecution of Falun Gong by the CCP, gave the audiences watching TV a deep impression.

After the broadcast, the TV station received lots of calls from the viewing public expressing their support for Falun Gong and condemning the CCP brutal regime.
