Switzerland: "Chinese Week" Activities in a Middle School in Brugg City Have Come to an End

"Chinese Week" activities in a middle school of Brugg City, Switzerland, have successfully come to an end. The Mayor of Brugg City, the middle school's teachers and students, and the participants took a deep interest in the activities, particularly in the painting exhibition of Ms Zhang Cuiying. Ms Zhang, Ms Dai Zhizhen together with local Dafa practitioners adopted various methods to tell people the truth of Falun Gong on this particular occasion. Ms Zhang, Ms Dai and her daughter, Little Fadu, used their personal experiences to describe the beauty of Falun Dafa and to expose the atrocities against Falun Gong practitioners by Jiang's regime. The teachers, students, and participants were deeply touched by their description. The local practitioners also used this opportunity to teach the students to sing "Falun Dafa Is Good" in their classroom. Being intrigued, the students learned the song attentively and could sing "Falun Dafa Is Good" in Chinese together with the practitioners. The practitioners also taught the students to write through the medium of calligraphy. Their interest in Chinese characters motivated them to learn to write the Chinese words of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." We were so delighted to see how they started to understand the meaning of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." One of the teachers told the students her story. One day her son drove her car and had the scratched the car pain. She would have had an argument with her son if she had not learned of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." But this time she thought of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and did not lose her temper.

The teacher also arranged for the students to learn Falun Gong, with the practitioners teaching them the five sets of exercises and they were able to practice the exercises with the practitioners.

The Mayor of Brugg City came to the middle school twice, appreciating the exhibition of Ms Zhang's paintings, and listening to the teachers' and students' description of the beauty of Falun Dafa. Seeing that the teachers and students benefited a lot from Falun Dafa, the mayor expressed his appreciation for the beauty brought by Falun Dafa and for Ms Zhang's paintings which demonstrated the essence of Chinese culture to the Swiss people. The mayor and the school principal visited Ms Zhang in person and gave her a souvenir of Brugg City. The Swiss newspapers General Zeitung and Agauer positively reported the Falun Gong activities with eye-catching photos.
