Norway: Distributing Truth-Clarifying VCDs to Chinese People at a New Year's Celebration in Oslo
On February 15th, 2002, Falun Gong practitioners distributed VCDs and other truth-clarifying
materials to Chinese people who attended a New Year's celebration in Oslo, where Chinese locals gave
different musical and dance performances and showed a Chinese Film. Around 150-200 Chinese people attended the party. The practitioners distributed the VCDs before
the event and as people were leaving. Some of the people who had earlier received a VCD were given
other truth-clarifying materials as they departed. The reactions of the people were quite different:
some really appreciated getting them (one woman was very excited when she heard that this was Falun
Gong - she told us that she had been wanting to know more about it for a long time), some showed us
their displeasure (one woman yelled angrily at her elderly mother, "That is Falun Gong, do you
know that? Falun Gong!" But the elderly woman completely ignored the yelling of her daughter
and pressed the little truth-clarifying booklet tightly against her chest); the majority was
indifferent. One woman really wanted our VCD, but personnel from the embassy prevented her from
getting it by coming between us. Therefore she went around some cars and left the embassy personnel
behind her, and then she was suddenly free to receive our VCD without them noticing it. When she got
theáVCD she winked and smiled gleefully at us. She had outsmarted the people who wanted her not
to get it, and she knew it. She put theáVCD in the trunk of her car and left with her husband.
