When he found out Falun Gong follows Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance and the exercise improves health, he and his wife Amanda said they would like to learn Falun Gong. They were shocked to know Chinese people were persecuted for practicing Falun Gong. He said he would find out more about Falun Gong on the Internet and asked about exercise sites in New York.
Many tourists took pictures of the exercises and exclaimed, "Gorgeous!" "Graceful!" Some copied the exercise movements. An elderly gentleman stayed until the end of the activity and did the exercises together with Falun Gong practitioners.
