(Clearwisdom.net) On May 12, 2005, the 79th anniversary of Ilan University was held. It rained throughout the day. Falun Gong practitioners in Ilan County set up a booth and demonstrated the exercises to introduce Dafa to students.
The Falun Dafa Club's booth was the first one near the entrance of the celebration site. Upon entering the gate, students would see the banner worded, "Falun Dafa." In the booth there were Falun Dafa introductory flyers and VCDs for visitors to read and take. Local practitioners also set up a photo exhibition entitled, "The Journey of Falun Dafa," which described the worldwide spread of Dafa, the persecution in China and practitioners' peaceful anti-persecution efforts.

Photo exhibition in the rain
The day-long anniversary celebration was held in the rain. Many students stopped in front of the photos to take a look, and many of them asked questions. The practitioners explained the facts of the persecution to students and told them that Falun Gong is popular in Taiwan for its marvelous health benefits. But in Mainland China, out of his personal jealousy of Falun Gong's popularity, former president Jiang Zemin initiated a brutal persecution of Falun Gong. Jiang's faction perpetuates the persecution with torture and lies; more than 2,200 practitioners have been tortured to death for persisting in their belief.
Several elderly practitioners wearing raincoats distributed truth-clarification materials. Because they had all benefited from the practice, they came to clarify the facts to people despite the rain.
