(Clearwisdom.net) From the 11th to the 13th of November 2005, the annual Biella Health Fair opened again. Italian Falun Gong practitioners participated in this fair for the third time, wishing to take this opportunity to allow more people to know about Falun Gong.
A lot of people came to the fair. Practitioners introduced to them the facts of the persecution of practitioners in China, demonstrated the exercises and distributed hand-made paper lotus flowers. The slow elegant exercise demonstration and the banners of "Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance" which hung behind the exhibition stand attracted a lot of people's attention; they all stopped to look in surprise.

A lot of people stopped to talk to practitioners at the Falun Gong booth. They signed their names on the petition calling for the termination of the persecution. The nearby vendors were also very friendly and came to find out about the situation one after another, and signed the petition. Some even spent the time in learning how to fold the paper lotus flowers.
One gentleman, after reading the exhibition boards attentively, talked with the practitioners for a long time. He expressed his hope to help to do something to end the persecution. Practitioners talked about the courage of the practitioners in China for the past six years and the efforts by overseas practitioners in clarifying the truth. They also told him about the courageous deeds done by practitioners in China in order to help the Chinese people understand the truth of the evil persecution by the Chinese Communist Party. This gentleman was moved to tears.
The organizer offered practitioners two opportunities to demonstrate the exercises and to teach them to interested persons. The practitioners' demonstrations attracted a lot of people. A young man watched for a few minutes and then sighed, "It is truly beautiful!" Many visitors took the initiative to learn the exercises.
After having learned the exercises, some people walked up to the booth to express thanks, saying, "We really feel very good!" They also enquired about information on local practise sites.
