Norway: SOS Rescue Tour of Northern Europe Visits Oslo, Norway (II)

At 6 a.m. on July 12th, the cars of the SOS Nordic Rescue Tour started from Gothenburg, Sweden towards the Norwegian capital, Oslo.

At 10:30 a.m. the Norwegian practitioners arrived at the front of the Chinese embassy in Norway. We called on the Chinese government to promptly stop the persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners. We greeted two police officers on duty in a friendly way. Then, we started practising exercises and doing Fa Zheng Nian [Ed. Note - a form of meditation].

Two practitioners tried to hand an appeal letter to the Chinese embassy. Despite the enthusiastic help from the two police officers, the Chinese embassy, under the pressure of its dictatorial government, did not dare to accept our letter. At last, Falun Dafa practitioners left the Chinese embassy with best wishes of success from the two police officers.

In the afternoon, practitioners marched from the train station to the Parliament building. Some of us held up banners while others handed out Falun Dafa information materials to the passers-by.

In front of the Parliament building, the big red banners with the golden words of "Falun Dafa," "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" and "The World Needs Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" were eye-catching. Numerous visitors were attracted to the display of Falun Gong photos. The scene of Falun Dafa practitioners practising exercises impressed people with a sense of dignity and solemnity.

One Norwegian who was once deceived by the Chinese government's lies came to understand the truth, saying, "So, this is the truth." After talking to a woman, a practitioner went to a nearby bookstore to buy the book Falun Gong [The introductory text of Falun Gong] for her. The woman was quite moved. Some visitors from China also left happily after hearing the truth about Falun Gong.

On this day, the weather in Norway was quite bizarre. It was sunny for some time and then turned cloudy for a while. For some time the sun was shining in the sky, and then it would rain with thunder and lightning. Big raindrops soaked the clothes of the practitioners, then the beaming sun dried them. Whether it was pouring rain or burning sun, Falun Dafa practitioners were not affected and continued to practise the exercises and do Fa Zheng Nian. That night, all the practitioners studied the principles of Falun Gong together, and had discussions with one another.

Tomorrow, a new day is waiting for us. We will continue our peaceful appeal in front of the Chinese embassy. Then, we will drive to the next stop, the Swedish capital of Stockholm.
