Italy: Chinese People Help Practitioners to Clarify the Facts

By a Dafa practitioner in Italy

As we clarify the facts of the persecution in a deeper manner, the overseas Chinese people become more and more clear-headed. Those with righteous thoughts not only express their indignation of Jiang’s persecution of Falun Gong, but now they also help Falun Gong practitioners to clarify the facts.

One day, when I was distributing materials in front of the Chinese consulate in Milan, a Chinese man and his girlfriend came to the consulate. He had watched the programs on our truth clarification VCD before. This time, he asked me for five or six VCDs to distribute. After he finished his affairs in the consulate he gladly said to me: “I have handed out all the VCDs in the consulate for you. Those Chinese people who were working in the Chinese consulate were scared at the beginning. They said to me “how dared you distribute such kind of things here?” I said that this was in Italy, this was our freedom, what should we be afraid of? Then, they accepted the VCDs.” His girl friend also said by his side: “Give me two, I’ll help you to distribute them too!”

Some Chinese people come to the Chinese consulate in Milan from other places in the country. When seeing that I was handing out materials in front of the consulate, they were astonished, but also respected me for doing this. After listening carefully to my clarification of the self-immolation, a Chinese person said that he had heard of the VCD but had not seen it. Now that he had it, he would let other workers in the factory watch it when he returned.

I have been in Italy for just over a month. I have been to the consulate every day after school for the last month. Before coming to Italy, I was in Germany and had no chance to go to the Chinese Embassy or consulate. Now, I have deeply realized how important it is to have Falun Dafa in font of the consulate every day. Its significance is not only limited to sending forth righteous thoughts [This can be understood as a type of meditation]. Since Dafa practitioners have often went to the consulate and clarified the facts to Chinese people face to face for more than a year, many Chinese people are actively talking about the event in front of the consulates.

It is said that there are one million Chinese people from Mainland China working in Italy. It is impossible for a few Italian practitioners to clarify the facts to them individually. It is also impossible for practitioners to search for Chinese all over Italy. To let them know about this matter on large scale, I think appealing in front of the consulate is relatively effective. No matter where they stay, when they renew their passports or register the birth of their children, they have to come to the Embassy or consulate. In this way, one person would be sufficient in front of the Embassy or consulate to let people know the truth. With this method, the situation in China would surely get better!
