On October 31, Hu Jintao, the Chinese Vice President completed his 4-day-visit to the UK. During his visit, the practitioners in the UK made use of all available opportunities to express their voice to the leader and to reveal to the British media and public the truth of Falun Gong and the persecution instigated against it by the Chinese government.

Practitioners waited outside the places where Hu Jintao visited, such as the Dorchester Hotel, Imperial College London, the British Museum and Downing Street. The message that we wanted to get across was:

"Please get involved directly with Falun Gong issues and please be fair to the Falun Gong practitioners."

We had many chances to make direct close visual contact with Mr. Hu. We waved and smiled at him, welcoming the leader to visit the UK. We spoke, "Welcome Vice- President Mr Hu! Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa!"

Many police officers on duty were moved by the Falun Dafa practitioners. One policeman asked us, "Why would you spend so much of your working and leisure time in such chilly weather? Is it really worth it?" We told him that in China, almost every day there are innocent Falun Gong practitioners tortured to death, and we simply have no chances to meet the Chinese officials and state our request. The Chinese Civil Affairs Office is no longer a place where people can go and express their complaints; instead, it has become the home of arrested Falun Gong practitioners. Anyone who says "Falun Dafa is good!" could receive a serious prison sentence and even be tortured to death.

We also told the police that we were lucky here to have the freedom to speak and to have our own beliefs, even though we have to suffer a little bit in chilly weather to express our views to the leader. In China, the Falun Gong practitioners are in such an unimaginably harsh situation. According to the official directives, any Falun Gong practitioners who die from torture should be treated as "suicide".

Everyone who heard about the persecution showed great support to us. During the hours before Mr Hu returned to his hotel, we read out loud the articles on "Peaceful Journey" and "Journey to Return Home" in both Chinese and English.

The literature we read was heard by the police, the residents and passers-by. Everyone was listening carefully. Especially when we read a declaration article by practitioners in court, "No Regrets". It said, "Everyone seated here please ask yourself, are you able to keep the righteous standards of 'kindness, faithfulness, manners, wisdom and trust' as a true human being; are you able to safeguard the righteous, fearing nothing from the selfish and the evil?" All of a sudden it became really quiet, and the practitioners doing exercises shed tears. We suddenly felt how the degenerate evil was being eliminated and how the fresh creation was formed from nothingness.

The police asked us for many leaflets, and some even expressed that they would like to learn the exercises. We were also told by many that people loved the Falun Dafa music since it made them feel calm.

When we told the police that among the practitioners present there were many PhD students from famous UK universities, IT Consultants, Senior Engineers, Lecturers and Financial Consultants, they were really surprised. They could never imagine that such a group of people would pay such a price for their belief.

Unconsciously, we changed the environment. When we were not sure about the route of the Chinese leader, we were always able to gain help from the kind-hearted people. Many times we stood for hours in the chill, only wanting to say one sentence to the Chinese leader when he showed up, "Please get involved directly with Falun Gong issues and please be fair to the Falun Gong practitioners." Such great tolerance and firm belief were witnessed by the leader's assistants, the guards, and the embassy staff, and they showed respect to us. Even though some Chinese assistants were not able to speak to us directly, we could see the respect in their eyes.

We also realised that what really made the impact was our pure hearts, all in harmony. We held these demonstrations in order to offer the worldly people a chance to get to know us. Whenever we faced obstacles, we were not trapped by them; instead, we were patient and used kind hearts. In such a way, all obstacles were overcome.
