(Clearwisdom.net) On Saturday February 18, 2006, an exhibition depicting the history of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the content of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, an editorial by The Epoch Times newspaper, was held in Malmo Sweden. The people of Malmö signed their names in support of the eight million Chinese people who have quit the CCP. There were many people from different countries who were interested in obtaining information, talking with us and giving their support. They were from countries including Sweden, Denmark, USA, Iran, Iraq, Bulgaria, Romania, Lebanon, China, Somalia, India, Czech Republic, etc.
When the first pictures of the exhibition were presented, people immediately stopped and viewed them. They also read the banner and commented on it loudly. Some people came forward to receive materials, sign the petition and take the Nine Commentaries. The atmosphere around the exhibition was very calm, even when many people filled the area. Many took their time to read the materials.
A man and a woman from the US and working in Denmark were very touched by the exhibition and did not know about the tyranny of the CCP and about the crimes they committed. They were thankful for the information and gave their support.
A young woman who is herself very concerned about the problems of human rights in other countries increased her understanding about the crimes of the CCP and wanted to learn more. She signed the petition and gave her support.
A businessman read the materials and said that he knows about these crimes and still does not understand why and how people in Sweden still think that communism is good.
An elderly man from Bulgaria (a former communist country) said it was good to show the truth and that he understands what has happened in China. His father was taken to a concentration camp when he was young. He said in a friendly tone "you cannot understand communism if you have not lived under it yourself."
A retired man from Romania said that he understood what was happening in China as he himself has lived under communism. He has been opposed to communism since living in Romania and he came to Sweden as a refugee because he openly criticized the regime and his life was in danger. He also later brought his family to Sweden.
A young woman from Lebanon wanted to explain to her friend who did not speak Swedish what the exhibition was about. After we explained to her she was thankful and said she would translate for him. Just before leaving she also said "It is very good that you do this, good luck!"
