(Minghui.org) An increasing number of Chinese tourists have been traveling to Europe. Two of the world's most famous tourist attractions, Rome's Coliseum and the Vatican City are a must-see when they come to Italy.
Practitioners in Italy regularly go to these attractions to offer Chinese tourists a chance to hear information that they can't access back in China. They tell them about the persecution of Falun Gong, and the movement of quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
Now the number of Chinese people who have quit the CCP and its affiliates has reached more than 180 million.
Tourists at tourists sites in Rome read Falun Gong informational displays
Many visitors come to St. Peter's Square in the Vatican City. They take in the information on display boards or the informational materials Falun Gong practitioners provide. Many pause to listen to recordings played from a small loud speaker about the CCP's brutal persecution of Falun Gong and the Chinese people.
Many are appalled by the Party's crimes and eagerly quit the CCP and its affiliates.
The following are a few stories that practitioners have collected since July:
When one tour guide listened to the recording he immediately asked the practitioner to help him renounce his membership in the CCP organizations. He said he listened to another practitioner talking about it the day before.
"You're really admirable, thank you!" he exclaimed.
After he listened to the truth clarification recording, another tour guide shouted to the tourists in his group, "Hi everyone, hurry over here and register (to quit the CCP ), we're about to leave soon. Hurry up!"
As soon as the tour guide said this, a woman in her 50s hurriedly walked over to the practitioner and said, "I'm not a Party member, but I was in the Youth League. My name is Liping, please help me quit."
One man initially disagreed with what a practitioner told him about the CCP, and he also did not believe it was important to quit. The practitioner sincerely explained, "The CCP has been instilling atheism into the minds of the Chinese people ever since it seized power. But there's an old Chinese saying, 'Divine beings dwell three feet over our heads.' The atheists will go to hell and live with demons after they die since no heavenly paradises will accept them.”
The practitioner explained, "Understanding the truth will enable one to sever one's ties to demons and follow the will of heaven. One will be protected by heaven and embrace a beautiful future. Isn't it important to quit?"
"I think it's important for me to be here, even if only one person quits per day," the practitioner said.
The man thought for a while and said, "You're remarkable! I quit the CCP!"
Another man who looked like an official listened to a practitioner lay out out the facts, and said, "They (the CCP) is rotten to the core! Everyone knows it. Few people in China trust the Communist Party." He nodded his head and agreed to quit the CCP.
A practitioner was explaining the quit-the-CCP movement to a man, when a young Taiwanese lady asked her, "Why do you only save people from mainland China, but not from Taiwan?" The practitioner smiled and said that the Taiwanese people haven't joined CCP organizations, so they are safe. The young lady said, "When I was young I moved to Taiwan with my parents, but I did wear the Young Pioneers' red scarf. What should I do?"
The practitioner said, "Then you should hurry up and quit it with either your real name or an alias."
The young lady exclaimed, "Wow, I quit! I definitely quit! I'm free at last!"
One practitioner talked to a group of young people about the quitting-the-CCP movement, and encouraged them to quit. A young man told her that he only joined the Young Pioneers. The practitioner asked if he wanted to quit with an alias, and the young man nodded his head in agreement.
Another young man said that he also joined the Young Pioneers and wanted to quit with an alias that he chose himself. Since his accent was unusual, the practitioner thought he was joking.
Just before the tourists were about to leave, the young man saw that his name had not written in the practitioner's notebook, and he immediately said, "Aunty, you forgot to take down my name."
Then the practitioner realize he was from mainland China and truly wanted to quit the CCP organizations. She immediately apologized and wrote down his name.
Several tourists told a practitioner, "We've traveled to several countries in Europe, and we often see Falun Gong practitioners. We understand what's happening. You're really remarkable. Keep it up! After the storm, sunny days will come."
One Chinese family traveled to Italy from France. When they saw the practitioners they said, "When we heard the information in France, we quit. You're remarkable to remain steadfast in your belief. You're working hard and giving out the information because you only want the best for others! Great job!"
