Taiwan: Tainan City Practitioners Hold Candlelight Music Concert to Commemorate Those Who Have Lost Their Lives in the Persecution (Photos)


By a Falun Gong practitioner from Tainan

(Clearwisdom.net) On July 20, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners from Tainan City, Taiwan organized a candlelight music concert on the square in front of Dongning Sport Park. They hoped to display the beauty of Falun Dafa through music, and to help more people learn the truth about the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Jiang Zemin’s persecution of Falun Gong and thus recognize the CCP’s evil nature.

Falun Gong exercise demonstration at Tainan candlelight vigil and concert

Over 200 Falun Gong practitioners from the Tainan area attended the candlelight vigil and concert. The event was to commemorate the thousands of Falun Gong practitioners who lost their lives during the seven-year-long persecution. Practitioners gave a Falun Gong exercise demonstration, showed video programs exposing the CCPs’ atrocities, performed songs, gave an Erhu performances (a traditional Chinese instrument), and Japanese friend Akiiga Minako performed on the guitar and sang. The candlelight vigil was solemn and peaceful. It looked like a sea of candles in front of each participant.


Guests at the candlelight vigil included

Many elected officials were invited to the candlelight vigil and gave speeches. City Council member Chen Tingfei said that we needed to take action to support Falun Gong’s human rights endeavors. All Tainan City Council members, regardless of political party, unanimously condemned the Chinese Communist Party’s organ harvesting atrocity.

Other guests also spoke to support Falun Gong’s endeavors. They expressed their wish for this righteous movement to become stronger and for the CCP's persecution to end soon.

During the concert, many passersby stopped to read the banners and watch the performances.

The Falun Dafa Association of Taiwan calls on Taiwanese people from all walks of life to support the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong. The CIPFG is seeking entry into mainland China to investigate all forced labor camps and prisons, so as to expose the Chinese Communist Party’s atrocities in the persecution of Falun Gong.
