Ms. Cai, an interior designer, learned the meditation six years ago at college from a friend. “The book of Zhuan Falun taught me a lot and helped me lead a happy life. Seeing the positive changes in me, my mother became a practitioner too and her health improved significantly.”

Miao Xiang comes from Vietnam and she works in Singapore. When browsing a Vietnamese website in 2016, she came across forced organ harvesting in China. Curious about such brutality in the modern society, she continued reading and knew more about the persecution against Falun Gong. Several months later, a friend brought her a copy of Zhuan Falun and she was very impressed by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. “Wow! I have never read a good book like this,” she exclaimed. Later she read more Falun Gong books and decided to join the practice.

Ms. Zhang, 74, comes from northeastern China. “After my father began to practice Falun Gong, he almost became like a different person—very kind and considerate. Because of that, my grandfather, mother, sisters, and I all began to practice it,” she recalled. Through these years of persecution, her father was harassed and arrested numerous times. “But he did not waver and told police officers facts of Falun Gong. There are many determined practitioners like him in China,” added Ms. Zhang.

Passersby learn about Falun Gong from practitioners.

Mr. Tang, in his 30s, came from Shandong Province in China. He talked with practitioners and praised their efforts. “The communist party has distorted history and caused harm to Chinese people in political campaigns in the past few decades. They will be held responsible sooner or later.” Before leaving, he agreed to quit the communist party's junior organizations, namely the Youth League and Young Pioneers that he joined when he was young.
