By A Dafa Practitioner in Peach Garden County, Taiwan

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners in Peach Garden County held activities including exercise demonstration, free exercise teaching and a photo exhibit at Shimen Mountain and at the lawn of the Stone Administration Bureau on the afternoon of July 20. A memorial was held at the lawn of the Stone Administration Bureau for Falun Gong practitioners who died from the persecution in China in their pursuit of truth and freedom of belief. About 300 people participated these activities, including practitioners and the public. Peach Garden County Council Chairman, Mr. Zhongyi Zeng, sent two flower baskets to express his best wishes. County councilor of Ba-De City, Mr. Yinfu Zheng, delivered a speech.

In addition to calling for Chinese leaders to stop Falun Gong persecution, Mr. Zheng expressed his intention to join Falun Gong practitioner's exercises in the future. Representative of Taiwan Falun Gong Research Society Huangying Liu said that Falun Gong cultivates "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance," and the five exercises improve health. A devoted student can achieve better health and the promotion of moral standards within a short time. Falun Gong also helps to build a peaceful and propitious nation, and overall will bring peace and hope to the human society. One hundred million people in over 50 countries practice Falun Gong. It has won more than 600 awards in Europe and America alone.

Falun Gong practitioners at the memorial said the persecution has been carried on for three years and is still going on. In the age of globalization, the Falun Gong situation has become relevant to everybody in this international society. Falun Gong, as a hope of the kind people seeking peace and happiness, has been brutally persecuted by the dictator Jiang. This persecution is bringing a disaster to humanity. Countless practitioners have achieved better health, inner peace and freedom through practicing Falun Gong. They hope the whole day's activities will allow more fortunate people to understand and start learning Falun Gong, and hope the memorial will bring more Taiwanese's attention to the Falun Gong practitioners being persecuted in China. Let us send our voice of justice together, stop the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by Jiang's regime and stop this disaster of humanity.
