Many children and their families gathered near the city plaza and dancedd around a huge Christmas tree, as it was being dismantled. Practitioners demonstrated the exercises in the city plaza and distributed leaflets and VCDs [video CDs - similar to DVDs] to people. They hung a banner with the words “Persecuted to Death” positioned next to photos of practitioners who have been murdered by Jiang’s criminal gang. Clearly written on the banner were the words, “You can help to change the present situation”. Other materials were also displayed on the ground. Groups of people watched the exercise demonstration and chatted with practitioners about Falun Gong and the persecution. Afterwards, many showed a great interest in Falun Gong and went straight to the library to borrow Falun Gong books.

People responded positively to Dafa practitioners’ righteous behaviour. Some people even told them, “You’ve done well!”
