Taiwan: Falun Gong Practitioners in Taitung Clarify the Facts to Tourists from Mainland China

Falun Gong practitioners gathered at a tourist spot to do the exercises and clarify the facts of Falun Gong to tourists from mainland China on January 16th. The tourists were given truth-clarification materials and took pictures of the group exercise activity.

Falun Gong practitioners tell tourists the facts about Falun Gong

Practitioners started doing the exercises in front of the train station at 8 a.m. Their beautiful music and elegant exercise movements attracted many tourists from China. Many of them took pictures and made videos. Some observed the exercises from their bus. Others got close to watch and take pictures.

Practitioners took display boards right up to the tour bus. A group of tourists immediately gathered around the display. They read carefully and asked questions. Mr. Jiang, a practitioner who had been clarifying facts to tourists for years, rain or shine, said that tourists usually respond in many different ways, but practitioners wanted only to clarify the facts and save people. Tourists often gave the practitioners a thumbs-up. Some eagerly read the back side of the display after finishing the front. They couldn't hide their hunger for the truth.

Mr. Jiang said that many tourists from China often asked was how much money the practitioners earned each day. Jiang would answer them in smile that he was retired and that all the practitioners there were volunteers. They weren't doing anything for themselves. They put in their time and work to help the Chinese learn the true story of Falun Gong.

A tourist quizzed a young practitioner, “You are too young to be retired.” The young practitioner calmly replied, “Did you forget it is Sunday today? I use my weekends to tell you the facts. You won't find me here on workdays.”

Mr. Jiang said the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had destroyed Chinese traditions and morality. Having lived so long under CCP rule, these people couldn't believe that such “fools” who didn't work for their own benefit existed. However, volunteering was very common in a free society. Falun Gong practitioners' truth-clarification was the CCP's worst nightmare. That's why the CCP spread rumours and tried to keep people from hearing the facts. However, good will triumph over evil, and many people will realise what happened after their own experience with Falun Gong practitioners.

Two jewelry stores in front of the Taitung Train Station are popular with tourists, who stop by every morning. Falun Gong practitioners in Taitung have been maintaining their truth-clarification display, playing a video, and helping people quit the CCP and its affiliated organisations for years.
