"Clarify the truth thoroughly, eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts, save all beings, and safeguard the Fa with determination" (Dafa is Indestructible)

Dafa Exhibits Its Greatness, Clarifying the Truth of Falun Gong in Hiroshima, Japan

(Clearwisdom.net)

I was pleased to be invited to go to Hiroshima, Japan to clarify the truth of Falun Gong. On arriving at the train station, I was welcomed by local practitioners and Mr. Okayama Kazuhiko, the supervisor of the Information and Culture Center of China News. To further welcome me to Hiroshima, Mr. Kazuhiko entertained us in a luxurious restaurant at the train station. During dinner the following day's press conference was discussed. After dinner we had group photographs taken in the train station. In each photograph Faluns appeared in the sky, on trees and on our heads and clothes.

The following morning, we went to the City Council of Hiroshima to meet with the legislative speaker, Mr. Tooji Akikazu, and others to call for help to release Japanese Falun Gong practitioners Hu Guoping and Gao Shanshan. In the legislative speaker's office, we spoke for one hour about my brutal persecution in a Chinese jail. They said, "We have heard of the persecution of Falun Gong in China before. Today we listened to your recount in person. We now understand further about the human rights crisis in China and will help you as much as we can." To express my appreciation, I presented a drawing I had made to the legislative speaker for their support of Falun Gong.

At 2:00 p.m., we went to the City Hall of Hiroshima to attend the press conference. The press conference was organized by Mr. Yosigawa, the head of the Department of Broadcasting and Newspaper of Hiroshima. Six media teams were invited and attended; during the conference the reporters actively took notes. On different photos that were taken, Faluns could be seen on each reporter (see photo). We appealed to all the reporters to help us to rescue the Japanese Falun Gong practitioners. They were touched when seeing the photo of the beautiful 19-year-old Gao Shanshan. To gain more understanding and learn the truth of Falun Gong, they would attend the next day's press conference of the painting exhibition.


After the press conference, we went to the City Government Offices to call on help to rescue Falun Gong practitioners and tell them of my persecution experiences. They said, "We did not know much about Falun Gong, and especially China's human rights violations before. Today we listened to your description of your persecution experiences and we wish to know more in the future. Hiroshima City, Japan and Chengdu City, China are sister cities. We would like to know if the Falun Gong practitioners in Chengdu City are also being persecuted. As China is the neighbor of Japan, we hope to have friendly relations with peaceful cities. We don't want to have relations with cities violating human rights because Hiroshima is a peace city." The City Government Official gave us a gift. Due to his just and clear conscience, Faluns rotated around his temple on five of the photos. When we showed him the photos, he said, "No wonder I felt warm and very comfortable."

Due to the efforts of Hiroshima practitioners, I was given the opportunity to recount my persecution experiences to over 20 government officials and media. Having listened to my distressing recount, I hope this may help them to act on a SOS rescue for Japanese Falun Gong practitioners Gao Shanshan and Hu Guoping.
