By a German practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) On February 19th, Falun Gong practitioners in northern Germany were invited to participate in the Vietnamese New Year Celebration in Bremen. Vietnamese residents from Bremen and the surrounding districts celebrated the Vietnamese New Year. Every year for fifteen years, Bremen's Vietnamese community has come together for this event, which offers elaborate stage performances and delicious Vietnamese food.

Many long discussions were held at the information stall with interested visitors

A short history of Falun Gong

A small photo exhibition detailed the journey of Falun Dafa. The pictures started in 1992, when the practice was first brought to the public, and went on to show the numerous awards and recognitions that reflected Falun Gong's popularity among the Chinese people before the persecution began. For his own wicked interest, however, former Chinese president Jiang Zemin banned Falun Gong in July 1999 and thereafter launched a vicious campaign of genocide and suppression that has already resulted in the deaths of over 1,400 innocent people.

Many children waited patiently in line to learn to fold lotus flowers. They watched and learned. Not surprisingly, many returned again and again.

The highlight for the visitors was the "Dunhuang dance," performed on-stage by one of the Falun Gong practitioners. Dunhuang is cultural town in Northwestern China, where thousands of priceless ancient paintings and sculptures were discovered in the 19^th Century. The dance was to depict the beautiful ancient Chinese culture. As soon as the first tones of the music for the "Dunhuang dance" were heard, the visitors gave the performer their undivided attention. The onlookers found the dance beautiful and charming. Immediately following the performance, the president of the Vietnamese Association presented the dancer with a bouquet of flowers. He expressed his appreciation for the stable and happy cooperative relationship between his association and Falun Gong practitioners.
