New Zealand: Touring Photo Exhibition, "Falun Dafa Practitioners Validating the Fa," Part 3 (Photos)
By a practitioner in New Zealand
(Clearwisdom.net) Handerson Shopping Center The touring photographic exhibition, "Falun Dafa Practitioners
Validating the Fa" visited the Handerson Shopping Center in the Western
District of Auckland on November 19, 2005. An older Chinese woman visited the exhibition with her little granddaughter.
While listening to practitioners explain the stories behind the photographic
works, she told her granddaughter, "Look at those children in the photos,
they lost their parents who practiced Falun Gong. They are so lovable. You'd
better be a good child like those children on the photos." The older lady
commented that the photo exhibition was beautiful. She said, "Thank you,
it's so kind of you to tell me about Falun Gong. I don't know how to read, but
I'll bring back your materials to my son, and ask him to read them for me." The two Maori young people in the photo above listened to a practitioner
explain the content of the photo exhibition, especially the photo depicting Ms.
Gao Rongrong whose face was disfigured by torture. They were amazed and
exclaimed, "How can the Chinese Communist regime treat their people like
this? How can they be so cruel and inhumane? It's just too sad. What can we do
for you?" The practitioner told them, "Learn the truth about Falun
Gong, and remember that Falun Dafa is great! Tell this to all the people around
you." Western District of Auckland On November 20, 2005, the photo exhibition came to the Chinese community in
the Western District of Auckland. Many Chinese people came to see the
exhibition. A mother and son who came to the community to find some people
carefully viewed each photo. After looking at the photos depicting children who
have lost their parents due to the persecution and the photo depicting the
persecution of Ms. Gao Rongrong, they said, "We know that Falun Gong is
good. We all have sisters and children still in China, and we know that they
(the Chinese Communist Party - CCP) are so cruel and malicious. We still want
to go back to China. The CCP is so cruel, and therefore we do not dare to sign
the petition to show our support publicly. We are very sorry, but we support you
in our hearts." There was a retired older man, who looked as if he had held a position of
some status in China. After viewing the exhibition, he had a conversation with a
practitioner for about an hour. The older man changed from having an initial
misunderstanding at the beginning of the conversation and raised many questions.
The practitioner patiently explained to him the wonderfulness of Falun Dafa and
answered his questions. Finally, the man complemented the practitioner by
saying, "You really know a lot, and helped me learn much about Falun Gong.
When you come next time, I'll come again." The woman in the red skirt shown in the photo above learning the exercise,
told practitioners that she was a refugee from Ethiopia. She had accompanied her
daughter who was taking a class in the area. Her daughter had not yet finished
her class, so she waited for her daughter at the entrance to her classroom on
the second floor. Behind the glass wall inside the building, she silently
emulated the practitioners outside as they did the exercises. After her daughter
got out of class, she immediately took her to the photo exhibition and listened
to the practitioners to explain the content of the photos. Then she seriously
learned the exercises from practitioners. These children took the initiative to come learn the exercises after seeing
practitioners doing them at the exhibition site. Birkenhead District On November 21, the photo exhibition returned to the Birkenhead District in
North Auckland. The man in the black jacket told the practitioner, "I'm Indonesian, and
also suffer persecution for believing a religion. I sign your petition to
support you. Come to find me if you come to Indonesia." The three members of the family in this photo are from Taiwan. After
listening to the practitioner's explanation of the exhibition, they said,
"Taiwan and Mainland China have the same ancestors. If Taiwan can support
Falun Gong, why does the mainland treat Falun Gong so cruelly? Isn't it good for
people to have a belief?" The young woman with the backpack in the photo above recently immigrated to
New Zealand from China due to her technical background. She asked the
practitioner, "They [the CCP] said you do this [clarify the
truth and do the exercises] all day long without doing anything
else." The practitioner patiently told her, "Some of us have worked
several dozen years inside China. It is because of the malevolent CCP's
persecution that we left our home and came here. Some of us spend our spare time
and use our own money to make the photos to be exhibited and to make our
truth-clarification materials. Our aim is to tell all people that the CCP is
still brutally persecuting Falun Gong, a group of people who believe in the
principles of 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.' I hope that you can learn
about Falun Gong and the persecution and tell your relatives and friends that
Falun Dafa is great." The practitioner also told her that the publication
of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party is to help
people clearly see the true nature of the Communist Party. It has done too many
evil deeds and Heaven will destroy it. The young woman said, "I'll read
your materials, and visit Minghui/Clearwisdom Website. I'll read the Nine
Commentaries. I'll cherish the materials you gave me, as I want to
understand you. I'll also tell my parents all this, because they are both
veteran Communist Party members." Two overseas Chinese students saw the photos of orphans of Falun Gong
practitioners who have died as a result of the CCP's persecution, and took the
initiative to sign the petition to support rescuing the orphans.
