People pay close attention to the truth of Falun Dafa

After the truth-clarification in New Plymouth, the practitioners continued their journey to Wanganui and Palmerston North. On a Saturday morning in Palmerston North City, after practitioners introduced the beauty of Falun Dafa and the truth of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, eight Chinese people expressed a desire to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations. The largest local English newspaper covered the event, and a reporter from Wanganui conducted a telephone interview after the event.
