(Clearwisdom.net) On June 28, 2009, Falun Gong practitioners set up poster boards on City Hall Square in Copenhagen, Denmark, to introduce Falun Gong and expose the persecution of the practice in China. This activity was not new to the local people. Every weekend this group of peaceful individuals practices the Falun Gong exercises in beautiful King's Park. Then they usually go to City Hall Square, Little Mermaid Square, or another major square to explain the facts about the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to the public. For years, they have been doing this in all kinds of weather.

On City Hall Square in Copenhagen, Denmark, passersby pause and learn the facts about Falun Gong

A Polish man carefully took photos with his camera. When talking to practitioners, he said that he could understand the reason for their activity: "Poland used to be ruled by the Communist Party, and I know that these regimes can do anything evil."

While passing by, three young American men paused and carefully read the exhibition boards. Reading the cases of Falun Gong practitioners persecuted in China, they were shocked. They said, "It is so horrible that this persecution of Falun Gong practitioners is happening in China!" They took some information packages with them so that they could learn the facts in more detail.

A young American man studying at the University of Copenhagen did not know about Falun Gong. When a practitioner told him that it had already been ten years since the CCP started to persecute Falun Gong, he was shocked and thought it beyond belief that such a thing could still be happening in the world today. He wanted to know how Chinese people view the CCP's persecution. On learning how the CCP brainwashes and deceives Chinese people through its media, he said, "Everybody who knows the facts will be against this inhuman persecution."

A middle-aged Chinese man who wanted to know more about Falun Gong came and had a long talk with a practitioner last week. That day he came again. He knows that the Communist Party is bad. This man has already lived abroad for five years and has visited many countries. Since some of his classmates practiced Falun Gong when he was in China, he knew something about the CCP persecution of Falun Gong. Practitioners answered all the questions he raised, such as, "Why does the CCP persecute Falun Gong?" A practitioner told him, "In 1999, 100 million people were practicing Falun Gong. This outnumbered CCP members. Because the CCP dictatorship is not elected by the Chinese people, it is fearful of losing power. On seeing so many people gathering, the CCP felt that its power was threatened, so it started persecuting Falun Gong. The CCP has been maintaining its rule by using lies and violence. Its nature makes it unable to tolerate so many people believing in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Falun Gong practitioners are peaceful and rational and good people who believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. But they are suffering inhuman persecution in China. More than 3000 people are documented to have been tortured to death."

This man also had questions about the book, Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. A practitioner told him, "We have no political pursuits. What we are trying to do is to stop the persecution so that we can have a peaceful environment for our practice. The spreading of the Nine Commentaries and the encouragement to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations is for the future of Chinese people."

The man finally understood that the CCP persecution of Falun Gong does not make any sense at all and his doubts were resolved. He left satisfied.

Although the CCP has been persecuting Falun Gong for ten years and spreading so many lies slandering Falun Gong, once people learn the facts they will surely cast aside the CCP. A practitioner explained the facts about Falun Gong to an elderly Chinese lady. She was given a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and other informational materials. But she was not satisfied, because she wanted to have a DVD of the Falun Gong Exercise Instructions to learn by herself.

Although it was very hot, the practitioners were able to keep a very positive attitude. They said that if they can help more people learn the facts, they would feel happy even if they were suffering hardships.
