(Clearwisdom Net) There have been more and more tourists from China visiting Paris in recent years. As Falun Dafa disciples in Paris, we understand the magnitude and importance of our responsibility.

Every Sunday afternoon, a remarkable scene adds to the magnificence of the Eiffel Tower: rows and rows of Falun Dafa disciples demonstrating the exercises under banners reading "Falun Dafa" and "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." Many come and look at the exhibition boards that clarify the truth, while the beautiful melody of Dafa music can be heard in the air. People have the opportunity to come into contact with the benevolence of Dafa. Ever since the release of Master Li's new article "Hurry Up and Tell Them," we have had on-site broadcasting. The narrative of the broadcasting is concise, easy to understand, thus attracting Chinese visitors from every corner. Some of them approach practitioners to talk. They ask, "Does the French government permit the practicing Falun Gong?" Some of them take CD's from practitioners when their friends are not around, and quickly put the CD's into their bags.

At dusk, Dafa practitioners in Chinatown play the video that clarifies the truth of the self-immolation. The location is selected right next to the exit of the subway. The video is projected onto a screen. It attracts pedestrians, who stop and watch quietly. Upon the completion of the video, people disperse. But soon, another group gathers to watch the video again. Most of them are Chinese, and some of them are French. Some come over to pick up information themselves, which shows they want to know what actually happened. Some of the Chinese tourists are in tears after they watch the video. They say Falun Gong practitioners should be respected and admired because practitioners have been so firm in their belief. Upon their departure, some tourists ask when the video will be shown again. Practitioners decided to conduct similar activities at other scenic spots, or in other areas where Chinese gather until the truth is fully disclosed to the world.
