By a Dafa Practitioner in Heidelberg

(Clearwisdom.net) August 27, 2002

At last, we passed through valley and came to the Rhine. Walking along the enchanting Loreley Rock, we came across many Chinese people. They saw our Chinese characters from a distance and wanted more detailed information. A Chinese girl who just came to Germany was shocked upon learning the persecution of Falun Gong, and she immediately read our materials. How poisonous the China's vicious propaganda is! We learned how important it is to clarify the truth to the Chinese people.

Taking a rest at the Rhine

The newspapers reported about us, so many people recognized us and wanted to offer their help. Some wanted to donate money, but we politely declined their offer. We always requested them to sign on our petition to support us. Some people wanted to learn the exercises from us as soon as they heard "Falun Gong."

At the City Hall, we not only visited the Mayor, but also paid a visit to offices of the Parliament and different parties. They also signed on the petition to the federal government to call for rescue of Xiong Wei, to show their support for us.

In these short several days, we have met many people. We talked with them and won their support.

Finally we arrived at our destination: the Chinese Consulate in Bonn. Other fellow practitioners also arrived from different places. Though the Consulate officers refused us in various ways, the important thing was that we arrived there. We had to mail our petition to them.

Upon returning home, I got feedback from a Chinese person. He met us in front of the Chinese Consulate in Bonn. He sent us a photo that we took together and wished us to have a smooth journey. He is just one of those who have known the truth. They have learned that the Chinese government treats its innocent and peaceful people very cruelly. 31-year-old Xiong Wei was sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor without any formal legal procedure. We should not allow such persecution to continue any longer.

We hope to meet our friend Xiong Wei soon, and we also hope that we end this illegal persecution of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" as soon as possible.
