Russia: Journey of Falun Dafa Photo Exhibition Successfully Held in Labinsk
Labinsk is a mid-sized city with a population of 200,000. On December 1,
2001, practitioners held a 3-day photo exhibition entitled Journey of Fa
Rectification in the Culture Center of the city. Several days before the
event, the exhibition was announced through TV, radio and newspapers. Over 100
posters about the exhibition were placed at bus stations, stores, and on
bulletin boards in residential areas.
More than 200 people attended the first day of the photo exhibition. Many
people inquired about Dafa books and asked for other Dafa materials after they
visited the exhibition. Many visitors signed their names to petitions supporting
Falun Gong and calling for an end to the killing of Falun Gong practitioners in
China. Some of them also watched Falun Gong instruction videos and learned the
exercises. Practitioners shared the stories of the photos to visitors and
answered their questions.
Clarifying the Truth to the Culture Center Director
The slandering lies of Jiang Zemin's regime have deceived some local
residents. One anonymous resident called the Culture Center and asked why the
center held the exhibition, so the Culture Center Director contacted
practitioners and learned the truth. Practitioners showed her awards and
proclamations to Falun Gong from around the world and explained to her the
principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance. As a result, the director not
only allowed the exhibition to continue but also decided to attend the press
conference held on the third day.
The Visitors with Predestined Relationships
Many people who came to the exhibition seemed to have predestined
relationships. One couple was reluctant to leave after visiting the exhibition.
They chatted with practitioners until they had to bid farewell because the
exhibition was about to close for the day. They said they were going to come the
next day again, and expressed their regrets at having discovered Dafa so late.
Kindly Staff Member of the Culture Center
There was one staff member of the Culture Center on duty in the exhibition
hall. She carefully looked through all the displayed photos and took Dafa
information. When she saw other visitors signing their names on the appeal
letter, she also quietly signed her name on the letter. When the exhibition was
closed in the evening and we needed to rearrange the photos, she stayed and
accompanied us all the time. When we apologized to her, she said, "Tomorrow
I am off work and I will bring my whole family to the exhibition."
There are still so many good Russian people who do not know Dafa.
Practitioners are determined to catch up with the Fa Rectification process and
let more kindhearted Russian people know the truth and obtain Dafa.
