During the painting exhibition in Osaka, with the help of Japanese practitioners I found time to talk to government officials and different party leaders about rescuing practitioners Mr. Hu Guoping and Ms. Gao Shanshan. On the second day of the exhibition I walked to TV stations and newspaper agencies. We walked from 9am to 10pm and my feet were hurting from blisters. We wholeheartedly appealed to all kind people with a sense of justice to help us. Our legs were heavy, but our faces were smiling. All the pictures we took had Faluns in them, which encouraged us to let more Japanese people know the truth of Falun Gong.

Whenever I think about the 8-month ordeal I suffered in Chinese jails, I still feel chilled to my bones, and it makes me strive harder to rescue the practitioners persecuted in China. Hu Guoping was detained in the same jail I was held at in Beijing. With the help of the Australian government I was snatched from the jaws of death. However, it has been over a year now and graduate student Hu Guoping is still being tortured in jail. Ms. Gao Shanshan's father is Japanese. Both of his legs are disabled and he needs someone to take care of him. However, for over two years there has been no news about this lovely girl's whereabouts. How could the Japanese government and kind Japanese people just look on unconcerned?! After hearing these stories, a reporter came to the painting exhibition to get more information about the persecution Falun Dafa practitioners are experiencing in China. A kind city council member said he would try his best to help the practitioners. He also introduced us to other party leaders on his own initiative. Thus, we have received help from many kind people with a sense of justice.

Each time we handed out the Dafa photo albums that were carefully made by practitioners to governmental officials and media, kindhearted officials and media friends would extend their helping hands to help rescue the practitioners persecuted in China.
