(Clearwisdom.net) For ten years running, Germany's Magdeburg Police Head Office has always held activities on Ascension Day to promote cross-cultural communication between foreigners and local citizens. Falun Gong practitioners attended this activity by invitation on 5th May 2005.

There were always interested people asking for information at the Falun Gong practitioners' stand. Bystanders were attracted to the elegant sets of exercises and stopped by to watch. People wanting to find out the truth about the persecution against this peaceful practice surrounded the posters that were on the grass. They could not understand why the communist regime is committing such unjust and brutal human rights violations against Falun Gong, and they signed the petition to express their support for bringing the prime persecutor, former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin, to justice through a court of law.
An elderly German man who knew Chinese culture pretty well stood for a long time at the information stand. He said he could not completely accept the explanation that the persecution started because there were too many people practicing Falun Gong in China. Practitioners told him that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) advocates atheism and has destroyed traditional Chinese culture through many movements and campaigns in history. Nevertheless Falun Gong is rooted in traditional Chinese culture and embodies the soul of the culture, awakening people's morality and conscience. This could not be tolerated by the CCP, which has always upheld "deceit, wickedness and violence". This is the main reason for the persecution of Falun Gong in China. He nodded, showing that the questions in his heart were answered.

A policeman said, through the Communist Party's former domination in East Germany, he had had an understanding of the Communist Party system, but China's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners exceeds by far anything that the German Communist Party has ever done! Another elderly lady knelt on the ground and carefully copied down the main points of the Falun Gong exercises. A practitioner approached her and handed her a newspaper and leaflet containing more information and told her the time and place for the Magdeburg exercise site. She said she couldn't believe that such a great practice is taught free of charge.
There were a large number of people who wanted to find out about the truth or learn the exercises. From time to time someone said that they wanted to learn the exercises on the spot and asked practitioners to teach them. When the activity ended in the afternoon there were still people lingering about, unwilling to leave.
