(Clearwisdom.net) On September 9, 2004, the Falun Gong Club of Simon Fraser University participated in the opening ceremony to celebrate the establishment of the new student dormitory. Falun Gong practitioners' waist drum and dance performances were arranged to open the event. Their performances won warm applause. The master of ceremonies loudly said to the audience through the microphone, "That was fantastic! Everyone is welcome to join the Falun Gong Club!"

Afterwards, practitioners held a group exercise practice and distributed leaflets to introduce Falun Gong and expose the persecution taking place in China. Many students signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution. A gentleman from Mainland China carefully watched the practitioners' exercise demonstration and read the truth-clarifying leaflet. He said, "You are very peaceful and normal. We were all deceived by the Jiang regime's deceitful propaganda. It is just too terrible! I will tell all my friends and family members that you are very normal and very kind."

This gentleman, who had learned about the facts of Falun Gong and the persecution, did not want to leave. In the end, he was hesitant to leave even when the practitioners were finished and were leaving.
