(Clearwisdom.net, May 12, 2004) During the visit of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao to Belgium, Falun Dafa practitioners explained the truth about Falun Gong to the European Union (EU), the Belgian Government, media, and local people. We obtained permission for our activities in a very short time. In a statement to the E.U. and the Belgian media, we stated that:

* We welcome the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's visit to Belgium.

* We welcome the good relations between the people of Belgium and China.

* We hope that the Belgian Prime Minister will make use of this opportunity to express clearly to Mr. Wen Jiabao and the Chinese people the great concern of the Belgian government and its people towards the persecution of Falun Gong in China.

On May the 5th, we continued our appeal activities in Brussels. When we arrived, many media organizations were there at the scene to cover this event. Falun Gong practitioners from Germany, France, Holland and Belgium gathered to unfurl banners and demonstrate the five sets of exercises. The embassy officials on the opposite side of the road were all watching us, as were persons from local student associations and media organizations dispatched by China. The peaceful and rational demeanor of the Dafa practitioners prompted people to think things over.

After a few hours, we heard the Chinese national anthem from the opposite side. Soon, several police cars left the scene, but Wen Jiabao did not pass in front of us. After several minutes, heavy rain began to pour down. Practitioners stayed there still, and one of them said the downpour was nothing, and we should persist to the scheduled end. Another practitioner said, "Look, the skies on our left and right are bright, only the sky above us is cloudy. It is unusual. Let us send forth righteous thoughts together."

Later, several buses fully loaded with Chinese people passed by us slowly. Watching the steadfast practitioners standing silently in the storm, people inside the bus were all surprised. One elderly person among them stared at us with thoughtful eyes. I thought that they would tell the people in China the Falun Gong situation they saw personally while abroad.

Then, a practitioner said the downpour seemed to have been a test for us. If we had left the scene, the Chinese people on the buses would not have seen us. Before long, the storm passed, and a passerby hurried to come and ask me what these people were doing. He said, when he saw the people sitting there, the scene interested him deeply. He said something gripped his heart, and he asked where he could learn the exercises.

On May the 6th, we began collecting petition signatures outside the hotel where Wen Jiabao was staying. Early in the morning, a western practitioner went to clarify the truth at the hotel, and said, "Falun Dafa is good" in Chinese to every Chinese person passing by. The venue for the conference and the hotel for the delegates were on the opposite sides of the street. All the delegates had to pass the location where the western practitioner stood. When they heard a western practitioner say Falun Dafa is Good in Chinese, some of them were silent, some were shocked, and some responded by smiling. Whenever they go to a foreign country, they will hear "Falun Dafa Is Good".

We unfurled banners that read "Falun Dafa is Good", "Welcome Wen Jiabao", "Bring Jiang Zemin to Justice", and "Bring Bo Xilai to Justice," practiced the exercises silently, sent forth righteous thoughts, and clarified the truth about Falun Gong to police and passers-by.

Some of the media organizations that came yesterday arrived to interview us today. One of the reporters interviewed practitioners for a long time. The police surrounding us initially left, and some pedestrians stopped to listen and talk with the practitioners. It was really as if, "The Buddha light illuminates everywhere,/Propriety and justice rectify and harmonize everything." When our activities were coming to an end, a huge ring of light appeared in the sky.
