Taiwan South District practitioners: Happy Birthday Master!
On May 10th 2008, Falun Dafa practitioners from five counties of Taiwan South District gathered at Qijin Beach Park in Xiaogang District, Kaohsiung City to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day. This is Master's fifty-seventh birthday and also the sixteenth anniversary since Dafa began spreading worldwide. Thousands of practitioners celebrated together, wanting to spread the good news to the people and the tourists. The celebration included Fa study and exchanging experiences in the morning, three study groups in the afternoon, and group exercises at the beach. Practitioners handed out truth clarifying materials on tandem bikes, and held a parade. They received a warm welcome from the people.

A group performed exercises at the beach. When volunteers taught the exercises, the exercise music and the gentle movements attracted many tourists. Some of them wanted to learn right away.
A group of about one hundred and fifty people rode tandem bikes around the city, handing out Falun Gong materials and lotus flowers. People were happy to accept the materials, and many asked where they could learn Falun Gong.
The parade began at Qijin ferry port, passed through the Qijin downtown, and arrived at Water Dance Square. The parade started with the Divine Land Marching Band holding a "Falun Dafa is Good" banner, followed by practitioners dressed as heavenly maidens and three groups of drummers. The band attracted many onlookers. They clapped and said: "Falun Dafa is Good!"
The activities of the day attracted many onlookers, so many people learned about the practice, the persecution, and the dignity of Dafa on the occasion of World Falun Dafa Day.
