(Clearwisdom.net) On April 26-27, 2003, the University of California at
Los Angeles hosted the annual Los Angeles Times Books Festival.












As the Los Angeles Times Books Festival was open to the public, more than one
hundred thousand people flocked to the campus in the early morning. Walking on
the shady road to the main exhibition hall, what people could see first was the
booth of the Falun Gong Club and Dafa banners. It is the fourth time that the
club has participated in this festival and demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises
to the public. Different from previous times, the practitioners set up a booth
designated for collecting signatures to rescue Falun Gong practitioner Charles
Li. In two days, more than ten thousand Dafa truth-clarifying materials were
handed out, and more than 600 people signed their names on the petition to help
rescue Charles Li.
Passersby were attracted by the practitioners' beautiful exercise
demonstration and many people stopped to learn to do the exercises, especially
young children who took away free bookmarks and truth-clarifying VCD's. Many of
them also learned to do the exercises on the spot.
