(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners have maintained a daily presence outside the Toronto City Hall, a landmark building and a must-stop site for many Chinese tourists.
Deceived by the Chinese Community Party's (CCP) hate propaganda, a large number of Chinese tourists are initially hostile. They become more open for discussions with practitioners upon learning the truth. As they observe the peaceful nature of Falun Gong and learn more about the brutal persecution, many choose to quit CCP.
English Teacher: “We Should All Quit [the CCP]”
More than 50 English teachers visited the Toronto City Hall on a weekend. They were from Southern China and in town for training. Practitioner volunteers helped them as tour guides and shared the history of City Hall.
Practitioners also talked about how Falun Gong was widely practiced all over the world despite being banned in China. They debunked some lies that CCP had fabricated to defame Falun Gong, including the staged Tiananmen Square self-immolation, and said that the teachers would have a better future by quitting the CCP.
After hearing these words, one teacher said: “I have heard about it and seen some poster boards when I was in Australia. I have decided to quit the CCP today!” She then turned around and said to the other teachers in the group: “What they have said is true. We should all quit [the CCP].”
Over 40 people from this group joined her and quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
High School Students: We Need to Quit the CCP
Once several vans arrived with many high school students. From one of the vans were three students from Changchun City, Jilin Province. When a practitioner volunteer introduced Falun Gong to them and said that the public lectures started in Changchun City, the students said, “That is our hometown.”
The practitioner continued: “Falun Gong follows the principles of Truth-Compassion-Forbearance, while the communist party promotes struggle, hatred, and deception. Moral values in China have quickly descended due to the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, and many people have committed wrongdoings for the sake of personal gain at the expense of harming others. Only by quitting the CCP can China—as well as each Chinese individual—have a better future.”
These three students agreed with the practitioner and said, “We need to quit [the CCP and its affiliated organizations].” They then quit the Youth League and Young Pioneers.
Professor: I Will Study Nine Commentaries and Zhuan Falun
A professor of philosophy at Wuhan University in Hubei Province engaged in a lively discussion with practitioner Ms. Wang at the site.
When asked if he had read Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, he said no. Ms. Wang handed him a copy and said, “Please read this book. It has comprehensive analysis of the bad deeds that CCP has committed and summarizes its vicious nature. Because the atrocities and harm being done are beyond description, only by disintegrating the Communist Party may China have a safe future.”
The professor said that he would go back and read the book.
Ms. Wang then explained to him why Falun Gong was well-received throughout the world. The professor asked several questions, and Ms. Wang answered them by exposing the lies that the CCP had fabricated to slander Falun Gong, ranging from the staged Tiananmen Square self-immolation to live organ harvesting.
The conversation lasted about 40 minutes. The professor looked very happy and said, “I had an unusual feeling this morning. I knew I must come to this tour site today, but did not know why. Now I understand it is because we needed to have this conversation and discuss these topics.”
As the professor left, he told Ms. Wang, “I have decided to quit the CCP from the bottom of my heart. I will study Nine Commentaries and Zhuan Falun.”
Businessmen: Quitting the CCP Will Bring Us Good Fortune
Six businessmen from Hubei Province came one day in a van. They expressed interest when the practitioner volunteer Ms. Zhao chatted with them about the momentum of quitting the CCP.
Ms. Zhao told him: “Through various political campaigns, including those before the CCP took power till the more recent ones such as suppressing the Tiananmen Square democracy movement in 1989, tens of millions of Chinese people have died as a result of brutality and lies from the communist party.
“More than 150 million people have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. You are fortunate to have come here and heard the truth. By joining in and quitting the CCP, you will be even more blessed.” She continued.
One of the businessmen said, “It seems that quitting the CCP will bring us good fortune. Let’s do it.” All of them then did so.
Beijing Couple Understood the Source of the Smoky Haze
One day a Beijing couple came with five other tourists. When asked about their feelings about Toronto, they said, “We like the environment here. It is a good place to live. ” They said that the fog and haze in Beijing were terrible, and breathing was difficult. It did not help even after the shutdown of many nearby factories.
A practitioner explained to them that nothing was coincidental. The CCP has undermined traditional culture and damaged the environment. Misled and motivated by communist ideology, many people acted against their conscience to harm others.
Given the bad deeds that CCP had committed and the harm they had brought about, according to the practitioner, the CCP has put Chinese people on a path of no return.
One such example is the persecution of Falun Gong. A large number of practitioners have been arrested, detained, imprisoned and tortured. Some practitioners have died as a result of torture. Some even became victims of live organ harvesting. Similar to the environmental danger, the moral degeneration also threatens the future of China.
The couple listened attentively and agreed, “We believe what you said and will quit the CCP now.”
