Today I came a long way from Australia to Stockholm to conduct a two-day exhibit and sale of traditional Chinese paintings for the urgent purpose of rescuing Falun Gong practitioners. Everyday practitioners are being tortured to death in China, and tens of thousands of mainland practitioners are using their lives to safeguard Dafa and clarify the truth to the public. We overseas practitioners urgently appeal to all governments, media and benevolent people around the world to offer their support to Falun Gong, to urgently rescue detained practitioners and prevent the murder of Falun Gong practitioners by Jiang Zemin's criminal group.

As a painter, I decided to conduct an exhibit and sale of traditional Chinese paintings. All proceeds will be given to the "Committee to Urgently Rescue Falun Gong Practitioners."

Today at the art exhibition, musician Hu Guohua gave a free performance, playing Pudu and Jishi with the bamboo flute and moving the audience to tears. Furthermore, practitioners demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises at the exhibit. Their huge energy field attracted a big audience, who also carefully viewed "The Peaceful Journey of Falun Gong" picture exhibit.

Swedish congressman Sven-Erin delivered the opening address. When I bestowed my work to him as a gift, he said with tears in his eyes, " I will give this picture to the Parliament and hang it in the assembly hall. I will tell each congressman the truth of Falun Gong, and I will do my best to have more people urgently help Falun Gong practitioners."

Because of the European Summit, the traffic was blocked. A Swedish policeman came to the art exhibit on foot. After he found out that I came from Australia to conduct the exhibit and how I was tortured in a Chinese prison, he said that Sweden would vigorously support Falun Gong

After I put up the sign of "Exhibit and Sale of Traditional Chinese Paintings for the Urgent Purpose of Rescuing Falun Gong Practitioners," the audience started buying enthusiastically, buying up half of the paintings almost immediately. It is a sharp contrast between these people's benevolence and the Jiang Zemin group's evil actions.

I hope that more artists will join in this urgent rescue effort with me. At the same time, I'd like to thank the Swedish government, the media and the local people for their help and support.
