(Clearwisdom.net) May 26, 2004, was a special day for the teachers and
pupils of an Oslo elementary school, a school with a history of more than 100
years in the Norwegian capital, because 4-year-old Falun Gong practitioner Fadu
and her mother Jane Dai were invited to the school. They came to tell teachers
and pupils the story of Fadu and the facts about the Jiang regime's persecution
of Falun Gong. About 120 students from seventh to ninth grades and their teachers gathered
together in the school auditorium. The school principal, an affable and
kind-hearted lady, introduced Fadu and her mother to the teachers and students. The Norwegian practitioners briefly introduced Falun Dafa and demonstrated
the first exercise. After that, Fadu and her mother told their story to the
children there. Little Fadu used to have a big, happy family in China. Because
of practicing Falun Dafa, her grandfather became healthier and healthier. As the
whole family lived in the light of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance, they
lived in perfect harmony. But the dictator of China could not stand the fact
that so many people practiced Falun Dafa, so a persecution against good people
then began in the Mainland. Fadu's father was beaten to death by evil people
because he tried to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to the government. Her
grandfather was heartbroken at his son's death and passed away shortly
afterwards. Her aunt was also taken away. All of a sudden, a happy family was
torn to pieces. Fadu and her mother also told the children that they had been to
many countries in order to tell people what had happened in China. They hope
that when people know the truth, they will help to stop the persecution. Those
children listened very seriously and the whole auditorium was very quiet. The principal told the pupils, "Fadu's story reminds us that only when people
treat each other compassionately, can we live together peacefully." The
schoolmaster also gave a toy and a CD of Norwegian music to Fadu as gifts. When
practitioners were about to leave, some children came over to hug them and say
goodbye. They thanked the practitioners for spending time with them. The story was not finished yet. After a few days, some good news came from
the school. A class of pupils started to make a big poster of "children rescuing
children". They also plan to invite Norwegian practitioners to teach Falun Gong
exercises in PE classes. The seeds of compassion have already taken root in these children's hearts.
We have good reason to believe that these children will tend the seeds carefully
so that they can grow into pure and beautiful flowers! Source:
