By practitioners from Sydney, Australia
(Clearwisdom.net) On the evening of January 4, 2003, Tongsong Music & Culture
Promotion Inc, composed of volunteer Falun Gong practitioners in Sydney, hosted a free variety
performance entitled "Music of the Spring" at Marana Auditorium in the Hurstville Center.
Nearly one thousand people from the Hurstville and the Greater Sydney Chinese community watched and
enjoyed the show with the theme of "sincerity, friendliness and understanding." Singing performance áDance performance An instrumental ensemble entitled "Spring" opened the performance with a powerful
presentation. The show gained rounds upon rounds of warm applause. When a western couple, Mr. and
Mrs. Vereshaka who had been to Tiananmen Square to appeal for Falun Gong in October 2001, performed
a Chinese song, "We come for you", the audience was deeply touched and gave their warm
applause. In the end, forty people, including practitioners from Tongsong Music & Culture
Promotion Inc and some people from Friends of Falun Gong performed a chorus, "Falun Dafa Is
Good," pushing the show to a climax. An expert who started receiving musical training since childhood and had been working in the
Shanghai professional musical institution before going abroad highly praised, "China has
suppressed Falun Gong for more than three years, but you are still doing so great today, Falun Gong
is truly remarkable! Next time if you have this kind of performance, I will definitely help out for
your show." A friend learned from chatting during the break that all the programs were composed
and performed by Falun Gong practitioners, even the costumes were made by practitioners, he said in
surprise, "Really? I thought they were professionals. They sang so well and their costumes are
so beautiful! Your performance is really a great success! Falun Gong is truly remarkable!"
While watching the show, an elderly gentleman turned around and told his friends, "There is an
abundance of capable people among Falun Gong practitioners." After 10-minute break, the audience watched a 10-minute video program entitled, "The Journey
of Falun Dafa" with accompanying music. In the end, a Chinese movie was featured. The show
concluded at 11:30 pm. On our way home, a practitioner said that audience's good response of the performance broke his
notions about the show. We realized that people love to see and hear cultural performances, which is
a good form of clarifying the truth and allows people to experience the beauty of Dafa and
understand Dafa practitioners in a light and cheerful atmosphere.
