(Clearwisdom.net) My child, who is a Falun Dafa practitioner, has rarely met other practitioners. She wanted to see how practitioners clarify the facts about the persecution and do exercises as a group, so I took her to Taiwan.
The second day we were in Taiwan, we visited the Palace Museum. We were looking for practitioners. It was a hot summer day. My daughter expressed disappointment at not having met even a single practitioner. At that moment a woman came up to us and handed us a book. It was the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. I took it immediately and thanked her. I then found that to my left there were several practitioners meditating in front of a banner saying "Falun Dafa - Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." To their right were various posters and displays with information about Falun Dafa and the persecution. There was a table with informational materials and a small speaker broadcasting about Falun Dafa and the persecution. It was not easy to sit there on a hot summer day. I walked toward the practitioners as a tourist and talked to them. My daughter took the truth-clarifying materials and said, "In a free society, I am allowed to take fliers." I wished that other Chinese tourists would also come to read the informational posters and take materials from the table.

At two in the afternoon, we visited the Yehliu Geopark. The minute we got off the bus, we saw the practitioners' displays. A practitioner with a sign in front of her chest saying "The Chinese Communist regime should stop persecuting Falun Gong" was reading Zhuan Falun under the sun. I was so moved. In China, I participated in many truth-clarification activities. However, I rarely went to the morning exercise session due to my attachments to comfort. I was not in the mood to sightsee any longer. I took out my MP3 player and began listening to Teacher's lecture. I saw several practitioners in front of a domestic goods shop sending righteous thoughts, and I snapped pictures of the precious moment.

We arrived at Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall at 5:00 p.m. I heard familiar music and saw about a dozen practitioners wearing yellow T-shirts saying "Falun Dafa - Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," practicing the sitting meditation. My daughter took pictures of them, and other tourists followed. A young practitioner walked toward me and I smiled at her. She asked me whether I was a practitioner and I said yes. She said, "Let's progress together and follow Teacher to return to our true selves." I told her that practitioners in China were doing very well. And at that moment I remembered a middle school student who hung out with my daughter during the trip, and that she had not quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I told her about Falun Dafa and the persecution, and she quit in the name of Dazhi.
On our way back to our bus, we saw more banners, displays and truth-clarifying materials. I used the displays to explain more facts to the middle school student who had just quit the CCP. A child took more materials.

We later went to Building 101, where there were many practitioners exposing the persecution as well. I saw large banners saying "Falun Dafa is Good" opposite the main entrance. It was 6:00 p.m. and practitioners sat down to send righteous thoughts. I heard a tourist say, "Falun Gong is truly magnificent!"

On the fifth day, we went to the south point of Taiwan, Kenting, to see the Oluanpi Lighthouse. As always, I saw the familiar image of practitioners wearing yellow vests, clarifying the truth. The practitioners walked toward Chinese tourists when they were not in a big group, and talked to them about quitting the CCP. When I saw them return with a name on a piece of paper, I knew that a precious life had been saved!

When we went to the British Consulate at Takao in the afternoon, I saw the most amazing scene. At the entrance, there was a car carrying banners saying, "The CCP Will Be Eliminated" and "Support the 78 Million People Who Quit the CCP." There were three speakers on top of the car broadcasting the facts about Falun Dafa. There was a wall full of posters with information about the persecution. As I walked up the stairs, I reached a platform, and saw more displays and a practitioner giving out fliers. The musical piece "Pudu" was playing through a speaker. A young practitioner handed me the 2006 Shen Yun DVD. I spoke to him and accepted it. I felt that it was improper to give out Shen Yun DVDs in Taiwan because Clearwisdom announced that the DVDs were to be distributed only in China. The 2010 DVD is already circulating in China now.

I returned to China on the sixth day. When I returned to my workplace, I talked about my trip to Taiwan. I took the opportunity to clarify the facts to my new colleagues.
