Taiwan: Falun Gong Practitioners Participate in Gukong Primary School Anniversary Celebrations (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) On March 13 and 14 2004, a series of activities were
held celebrating the 74th anniversary of Gukong Primary School in
Yunlin County, Taiwan. Through the efforts of Falun Gong practitioner Principal
Xu and other local practitioners, a Falun Gong exercise demonstration and photo
exhibition were arranged. These activities won a warm response from local
people. Two years ago, Principal Xu attended a 9-day seminar of Falun Gong under his
wife's encouragement. Since then he has practiced Falun Gong, and he believes
that pupils can benefit from practicing Falun Gong. So a student group learning
Dafa and practicing the exercise was established in Gukong Primary School. The
principal invited those students in the group to the principal's office to read
Dafa books and practice the exercises. During the celebration of the 74th
anniversary of the school, Principal Xu recommended Falun Gong to
schoolteachers, students and local people. A photo and drawing exhibit was held in student activity center. A banner
reading "Falun Dafa Spreads to over 60 Countries in the World" was
hung over the entrance. In the center, there were drawings of Falun Gong
practitioner pupils, photos of their activities, and the "Journey of Falun
Dafa," photo exhibit. Practitioners distributed many flyers introducing
Falun Gong, truth-clarification literature, and balloons printed "Falun
Dafa is Great, the World Needs Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." Some
parents taught children learning to speak to read the words, "Falun Dafa is
Great" on the balloons. Officials from Yunlin County Department of
Education acclaimed the beneficial changes in pupils after practicing Falun
Gong. Pupils in the practice group demonstrated the five-sets of exercises on
stage. To help teachers and students understand Falun Gong, the principal
introduced Falun Gong during the demo and shared his own experience of
improvement in both mind and body after practicing Falun Gong. In addition, the Tianyin Chorus, composed of young practitioners in the
Middle District Minghui School and other Falun Gong practitioners performed
dances and music. The whole activity came to a peak when the principal joined
the chorus to sing the song "Coming for You". After the activity, many
local people asked for information on locations to learn Falun Gong. In Taiwan, many teachers and students benefit in both mind and body from
practicing Falun Gong. At the universities, there are about 30 Falun Gong
associations. However, across the strait, Jiang and his associates persecute
Falun Gong. The lies and slander have poisoned countless naïve children and
spread hatred in their minds. We call on teachers in mainland China to help stop
the persecution and have more people know the truth of Falun Gong.
