Falun Gong activities that the court used against Ms. Xu Xianglan were actually endorsed by the local Committee of Physical Education
January 8th, 2000
Before the Chinese government's ban of Falun Gong, the Physical Education Committee of Wuhan City invited Falun Gong assistance center of Han-kou district to organize some group practices at the Han-shui Park in order to improve people's health. In particular, the Physical Education Committee of Wuhan City wrote an official approval letter for Falun Gong assistance center to hold these activities. During these activities, some other government departments were also invited to participate, such as news agencies and the police department.
On April 11 of 1999, it rained very heavily. But still many practitioners went to join the scheduled group practice. Many practitioners in Wuhan rushed to the Park in the storm at 4:00am in the morning. Practitioners from outside Wuhan also came. Most of them arrived at the Park in the midnight and had to wait in the rain. I remembered that a Park staff member told me, "This exercise is really miraculous. As soon as the music was played, all practitioners, including elders in 70s and 80s, young kids of only a few years old, dropped their umbrellas and started to practice. Everyone looks so peaceful. It is unimaginable in today's society. People would complain loudly if they are required to attend some activities in the rain."
