The famous Eiffel Tower in Paris, France attracts tourists from all over the world. This is a good spot for Falun Gong practitioners to spread the truth. On Sunday afternoon on the 21st of October 2007, Falun Gong practitioners held a weekly event here as usual to promote Falun Gong and clarify the facts.

As soon as one entered the open Champ de Mars in front of the Tower, the banner with four big letters “Falun Dafa”, which formed a sharp contrast with the blue sky, would meet the eye. The exercise demonstrations attracted spectators. Some exclaimed, “Falun Dafa is good!”

The photo exhibits that exposed the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong raised people’s concerns. One after another they signed to call for ending the persecution. Many tourists asked for Falun Gong leaflets in various languages on display at the stand.

After reading through the exhibits, a couple from Cuba signed the petition form emotionally. The lady said in tears that it was hard to imagine such a persecution. The gentleman added, “We are your friends. We support you.”

Two local French women were delighted to find out about free teaching of such a good practice. When informed about one hundred million practitioners in China prior to the persecution are subjected to inhuman treatment and killing by the authorities, they said in indignation, “China will host the Olympics in 2008. A country where there is such a grotesque lack of human rights does not qualify to host the Olympics.”

Having seeing the exhibits, a tourist from mainland China was perplexed, “What would you achieve, fighting against the CCP in such a way?”

Practitioners explained patiently that they are not against the CCP. It was the CCP itself that pushed people to the opposite. Falun Gong is an ancient Chinese civilization. Since its formation, the CCP had killed eighty million people. The CCP fights against the heaven and the earth, destroys the environment. People suffer deeply. Now that the CCP persecutes Falun Gong practitioners who believe in “Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance,” it walks right into its own destruction by committing such heinous crimes.

Upon hearing this, the mainland tourist said, “I understand. The CCP is terrible indeed.” Practitioners went on to tell her about guaranteeing safety by quitting the CCP. She gladly withdrew from the Communist Youth League.
