An exercise demonstration by children Falun Gong practitioners fascinated many people. Dressed in yellow exercise uniforms, the children practitioners stood out in crowd. A store owner became very interested when he saw "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" printed on children's T-shirts. He talked with the children for a long time.

At the international culture section of the street, Falun Gong practitioners showed Falun Gong books in many languages, displayed picture boards about Dafa's wide spread and played an exercise video at their booth.

Children practitioners' exercise demonstration fascinates many people. Some of them copy children's exercise movement.

Many people visited the Falun Gong booth and said it was the best. Children couldn't stop watching the exercise-teaching video. Some have heard about the persecution of Falun Gong in China and wanted to know more about it. Some asked where they could learn Falun Gong. Some asked practitioners to teach a class locally.
