Germany: Spreading the Fa and Explaining the Facts at the Altonale Festival (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) Over the last few years, Falun Dafa practitioners in northern Germany have
attended the Altonale Festival in Hamburg every June. Altonale Festival is the biggest Market
Festival in northern Germany. Many cultural groups from various countries participate in the
activities. On the days of the Festival, the practitioners had lots of opportunities to
spread Dafa, tell people the facts, support bringing the Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin to justice,
and collect signatures to rescue our relatives and friends who are being persecuted in China. After
the practitioners explained the facts to them, some people who were prejudiced against Falun Dafa
quickly signed their names and took away leaflets. Many people had seen the practitioners at the fair last year. They asked whether
last year's signature collection had had a good effect. They were pleased to hear "yes"
from the practitioners, and put down their names immediately on the new signature form. Some asked
us whether we were the people who went to the Chinese Consulate every week. They wanted to know what
we were doing because they would usually honk their carhorns every time they drove by. Now they
understand more about the situation. We also demonstrated the exercises. Although the practitioners
were the last to apply, a place to demonstrate the exercises was still provided by the Festival
organiser. The exercise demonstration and the beautiful Dafa music attracted a lot of people. We have one very moving story from this fair. An Iranian family came towards our
exhibition booth. The parents explained to their six-year-old daughter about what we were doing and
the reasons for collecting signatures. Without any hesitation, the little girl said what we were
doing is very good. She then asked if she could sign her name. She signed her name as soon as the
practitioner replied, "Sure!" Her parents said, "Since our daughter signed her name,
we will sign ours, too." They picked up leaflets and left happily. This made me even more firm
and resolute in clarifying the truth of Dafa to as many people as possible. http://www.clearharmony.net/articles/200307/13840.html
