(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) practitioners in Hiroshima, Japan, participated in the 25th Central Public Hall Celebration on February 28, 2026. They performed the waist drum dance, introduced Falun Dafa, and demonstrated the five exercises on stage. People learned the exercises, and facts about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Dafa in China. One person said the persecution cannot be tolerated.

Practitioners demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises on stage.

Audience members followed practitioners to learn the exercises.

The Central Public Hall is located in a Chinese community, and many Chinese people attended. Years ago, some local Chinese people, influenced by the CCP’s propaganda, had misunderstandings about Falun Dafa. Now many say they admire practitioners, and they take photos and videos of practitioners’ performances. Many audience members stepped into the aisles on both sides to follow practitioners’ movements and learn the exercises.

A practitioner showed people the exercises.

After they demonstrating the exercises on stage, practitioners taught people how to do them. They explained the principles of each exercise in detail, then taught the exercise step by step. Even though it’s winter and the windows were open, many people said their hands and bodies were warm, and some even sweated while they learned the exercises—others said they felt a strong energy field.

Practicing Exercises Makes People Relax

Ms. Mizoda

“My body usually feels stiff and my legs hurt,” Ms. Mizoda said. “After learning and doing the exercises today, I feel very comfortable. The exercise music is beautiful.”

Mr. Kitamori

Mr. Kitamori said, “I originally planned to learn Tai Chi, but when I went there, it had just finished. Just as I was feeling disappointed, I saw these qigong exercises on the program, so I came.

“When I was visiting Osaka, I saw many people practicing together with a banner saying Falun Gong. Today when I tried the Falun Dafa exercises I could feel an invisible, magnet-like force.” He said he wanted to go to a practice site to continue learning the exercises.

After they showed people the exercises, practitioners told them about the persecution in China and the CCP’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting.

“This is the first time I’ve heard of this. It is unbelievable,” Mr. Kitamori said. “This is human rights abuse and absolutely cannot be tolerated.”
