By French Dafa practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, we went to demonstrate the Falun Gong exercises and tell people about the lawsuit against Jiang in an area of Paris that is frequented by Chinese people. It was the first time that we had demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises there, and the public was very enthusiastic about it. As soon as we started to set up the banners, people stopped to ask for leaflets.

A lot of people felt that they would like to know more about Falun Gong; they expressed their anger at the persecution of peaceful practitioners, which was instigated by Jiang Zemin. Many young people learned the exercises and talked of their wish to practice Dafa. There were a lot of people who put their name and signature onto the petition, many of whom came from China. Some young Mainland Chinese expressed their anger at Jiang's horrific violations of human rights.

The peaceful Dafa music and atmosphere attracted a lot of passers-by. An older woman said, "Here in this street block we are in need of more people like you. If all young people were as quiet as you when you practice the sitting mediation, how wonderful that would be!"

Many young Chinese people stopped for more than an hour to talk to us, ask some questions, watch the Falun Gong exercise demonstration, sign the petition, and get to know more about the truth behind Jiang's persecution. They were enjoying themselves so much, that they forgot the time and were late going back home! After hearing the truth about Falun Gong, one Chinese lady said, "I'll take some of your materials and I'd like to speak to my parents about Falun Gong and the persecution in China."

As time went on, more and more people came. Practitioners told the truth peacefully, which enabled us to speak to people from many different social groups. They were worried about the conditions in China and gave their support for the lawsuit against Jiang.
