Many passersby paused to watch the performances. Some asked where to learn Falun Gong, and a few local residents started to learn the exercises.
The exercise demonstration caught the attention of Mr. Huang, who wanted to learn. He followed the practitioners demonstrating the exercises and finished all of the second exercise.
Mr. Huang (in the blue t-shirt) stopped to learn the exercises. He completed the second exercise by following the practitioners.
It was the first time he had ever done a Falun Gong exercise. He held his arms in the various positions and concentrated for the entire half hour. He said he felt a strong energy and did not feel tired.
