Germany: Collecting Petition Signatures and Revealing the Facts at a Town Festival in Nuremberg

On September the 27th, Falun Gong practitioners held an activity in Nuremberg to let people know the facts about Falun Gong. This was the same day as the town festival and the place was bustling with tourists who could not miss the practitioners’ exhibition stand as they walked by. Many people stopped to quietly watch the Falun Gong exercise demonstration. Since many other practitioners from this area had gone to a festival in Munich on the same day, there were not that many practitioners at the activity in Nuremberg. In front of a massive stream of people, the relaxing exercise demonstration generated a harmonious field. More and more people were attracted to the exercise demonstration site. At the end of that day, the petition signature books that practitioners brought with them were full as many people took the initiative to sign their name.

During the activity, an elderly lady solemnly told practitioners that she was in a hurry to catch a train, but she would still take the time to sign her name to rescue the persecuted practitioners. She added that she had been to China a few years ago, and thought that the standard of living there was quite good. Nevertheless, after viewing the exhibition board, she finally recognised the facts and saw more clearly the extent of the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China. Practitioners were delighted to meet this elderly lady who had come to realise right from wrong and uphold justice in her heart.

In addition to enthusiastically signing their names to support the appeal, many young people asked their friends to sign their names too. Before the end of the activity, a German citizen who was very interested in Falun Dafa talked with a practitioner enthusiastically and was reluctant to leave. He ended up staying with practitioners and helping them to collect their materials and pack everything away.

On their way home, practitioners came across a Chinese person at the train station. After seeing one of them wearing a Dafa T-shirt, he came over and asked for information about the location of the local exercise practice sites, and also asked for some Dafa books. Practitioners hope that all the Chinese people who still believe the lies fabricated by the Jiang regime to persecute Falun Gong are able to learn the truth.
