Listening to the peaceful music and watching the Falun Gong demonstration, people began to ask where they could learn these beautiful exercises. One mother who had a naughty boy told a practitioner that she found hope in teaching her son "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Another lady told a practitioner that she had been looking for Falun Gong for a long time and she found it this day.

The organizer of the festival was also deeply attracted to the peaceful exercises and came to the Falun Gong booth to learn more, and to invite the practitioners to demonstrate the exercises on the stage.

Many people condemned the Chinese Communist Party for persecuting such a good practice and said that they would help to end the persecution.
