By a practitioner from Milan

(Clearwisdom.net) Recently through clarifying the truth of Falun Dafa to the Chinese people in Milan, I found that there are more and more people starting to recognize the facts of the persecution, and they have very strong righteous thoughts. The following are a few examples I experienced:

One day I met a Chinese woman in the subway station in Milan who looked like she was from the countryside of China. When I showed her the Falun Dafa truth clarifying materials, she told me that she could not read. I told her that it did not matter that she could not read because I would tell her in words instead. I then proceeded to show her the pictures from the materials and explain to her what it was about, and she listened attentively. When I told her that even an 8 month-year-old baby was tortured to death under police custody, she was shocked and asked: "Have those police been arrested?" I told her "not yet" because Jiang gave an order that all deaths of Falun Dafa practitioners while under police custody should be reported as suicide, and that he gave orders to destroy Falun Dafa practitioners financially; ruin their reputations in society; and eliminate them physically. Upon hearing this, she immediately held out her hands and took the materials and the VCD, saying: "Let me have them!" When I got off the train, I could see her still looking at the pictures one by one.

In one of the open markets in Milan, I saw two Chinese people in a booth. When I started to chat with them, one of them said that there were many people practicing Falun Dafa in his hometown in China. I told him that they follow the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," and are good people. He answered: "Of course, of course, they are certainly good people." While we chatted, the other person was reading the truth clarifying materials that I gave him. Suddenly he held up the materials and showed the Italian people who were passing by on the street. I was curious why he did this and asked: "But they cannot read Chinese?!" He responded: "It doesn't matter, at least they can have a look at the pictures."

One day I met a young man outside a restaurant near the Chinese Consulate in Milan. When we began to talk about Falun Dafa, he immediately responded: "There is no respect for human rights in China. Back in my hometown (he came from a Northeastern city in China), many people were practicing Falun Dafa, and I knew a lot of them. After the persecution began, they tried to force people to give up the practice. How can this be? What is wrong with people practicing exercises and improving their health? They do not have any political agenda. Regardless, even if they can persecute people physically, they cannot control their hearts."

When I was in Milan's Chinatown, a young man wanted to learn the Falun Dafa exercises from me. He said that he had already become good friends with one of the local practitioners, and that he thought Falun Dafa practitioners were very knowledgeable and reasonable.
