Stories about Clarifying the Truth in Manhattan

"Your Steadfast Standing Has Strength"

A group of practitioners was holding banners at a subway entrance near the World Trade Center one morning. A gentleman who works in the government health department came over to us and asked how frequently we publish new editions of "Falun Gong Today." He said he saw Falun Gong practitioners clarifying the truth to people every day. He was deeply moved by that. He also said that our standing there so resolutely has a powerful strength. We could see his sincere respect for us. He listened to our truth-clarification very seriously.

"I Will Tell My Students"

A teacher and one of his students came by to watch us doing the exercises. Practitioners went over to talk to them. They said that they had never heard anything about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. They were quite shocked after learning the truth. Practitioners told them that in China, if a teacher were to practice Falun Gong, he would be deprived of his teaching position, and if a student practiced Falun Gong he would be deprived of his right to go to school. The teacher told us that he would share those facts with his students.

"Thank You for Opening My Eyes"

One day it was raining. A young lady was reading our truth-clarifying posters. A practitioner came up to thank her for reading the truth-clarifying material in the rain. She said: "I should thank you instead, for opening up my eyes. When I read about all of this going on in China it really makes me think. I would like to visit your website too."

"I've Already Sent an E-Mail To President Bush"

I was handing out truth-clarifying flyers in the subway. A man said that he had already sent an e-mail to President Bush. When I thanked him, he said he felt that he had to do something, and sending an e-mail was a way to help that was within his ability. One woman was shaking her head, with tears running down her face, after reading the flyer I gave her. When she was discussing the flyer with her friend, I went up to her and talked about the persecution that our female practitioners were enduring, including rape and forced abortion. She said that it was just too terrible.

Although it has been raining every day recently, people still stop by to visit our truth-clarifying exhibit and listen to practitioners talking about the persecution for prolonged periods of time. Some visitors even stand in the rain without raincoats, not wanting to leave until they have learned the truth.
