From March 17 to 19, Wenhui News and thirty some other groups supporting the Chinese government held a picture exhibition in the Hong Kong Conference Hall because Jiang Zemin attempted to further slander Falun Gong and provoke Hong Kong residents' hatred toward Falun Gong. Hong Kong practitioners enlightened that they should step out to clarify the truth, expose the viciousness of the persecution and avoid the victimization of the people who are not aware of the truth.
March 17 was the first day of the exhibition; practitioners came to the Conference Hall early in the morning. They set up many pictures clarifying the truth in the major locations nearby, and distributed the leaflets exposing the truth of the self-immolation incident. After the exhibition began, the practitioners came in and took a look in small groups in order to record their crime of slandering Falun Gong and checked whether there is any chance for questioning. One of the practitioners was recognized by a reporter and was interviewed right on the spot. She used this chance to raise the questionable points of the exhibited pictures and videotapes of the self-immolation incident, and showed the pictures of practitioners who were tortured to death to expose the viciousness of the persecution. Later, the security guards forced her to leave the Conference Hall. Another practitioner wore a Dafa's T-shirt and covered it with a coat, but the reporters still recognized her and kept following her to take pictures. This has brought the security guards' attention and they forced her to leave the conference hall, but they couldn't give the reason why they wanted her out. The reporters recorded all these incidents.
We enlightened that this exhibition is another vicious act to persecute Dafa and endanger living beings. We must actively clarify the truth and expose the viciousness. Therefore more practitioners came the next day. In addition to distributing the leaflets, we had group-practice in the nearby park (some practitioners practiced in front of the Conference Hall) to show to the tourists. We spread out nearby the Conference Hall and distributed the materials actively and serenely to the people coming in and out of the Conference Hall. The practitioners distributed the leaflets to the tourists who came with the touring buses. Some people around us appear to be some sort of agents on a mission. Some of them became anxious and asked practitioners, "How much salary did you get to work so hard?" Practitioners answered with a smile, "There is no pay. We paid for the printed materials and voluntarily do this for people. We tell the truth of the persecution of Falun Gong in Mainland China to the pubic." And we suggested to them to take a look because it is beneficial to them. Some of them took pictures of us covertly. After we found out we stepped forward to stop them to prevent them from doing wrong deeds. We also had cameras with us so we took photos of them. They were frightened and ran in a hurry; the viciousness and its gangs are afraid of exposure.
Hong Kong Conference Hall is located on a busy street. There are a lot of tourists and people from the Philippines wandering around on Sundays. Several thousand copies of English leaflets were all distributed shortly. Those from the Philippines are very kind and were all shocked by Jiang Zeming's gang's savage acts. They not only asked leaflets for themselves, some asked for a few more for their friends. Some also asked how they could help. Others were so interested that they wanted to learn on the spot. A few Philippine men said, "We know China. Jiang Zeming has no human nature!" A westerner pastor came out the Conference Hall and expressed his indignation of the Falun Gong slandering exhibition.
Half of the people in the exhibition hall were staff members and security guards. Some of the people who went to the exhibition were from Chinese government funded organizations. A young student from Hong Kong University went to the exhibition, and then saw our exhibition boards outside the conference hall. He expressed his interest of acknowledging the truth of Falun Gong. He told the practitioners that he hadn't been cheated by the contents of the exhibition that slandered Falun Dafa. An old man even came to the Conference Hall to protest the exhibition. The following words written in the front of his clothes: "[party name omitted] Party is the enemy of religions; religious people who have been brutally persecuted by Chinese [party name omitted] Party are more than ten millions." On the back of his clothes were: "Falun Gong is Truthfulness, Benevolent and Forbearing and gentle like sheep; [party name omitted] Party is false, vicious, brutal and is fierce like a wolf."
There were some people that believed in the contents of the exhibition came out and yelled at us. They refused to take the leaflets we gave them. Looking at their receding figure, we felt deep sorrow for them.
We enlightened that we should further suffocate the viciousness, so we decided to hold a small group practice in front of the Conference Hall the last day (due to the small amount of people we don't need the permission from the police department). We showed the pictures, displayed the banners and notified the reporters. On that day, about ten reporters came; a few westerner reporters came as well. One reporter didn't know that Liu Chuanling was beaten to the ground. She went into the exhibition hall and watched the footage of the Tiananmen self-immolation incident. After she came back, she said, "It is very clear that Liu Chuanling was beaten to the ground. I'll go back and write an article immediately."
After the practice, some practitioners decided to go into the Conference Hall and revealed the truth to the person in charge of Wenhui News. The reporters followed, too. After they met the person in charge of Wenhui News, practitioners said openly, "First of all, Falun Gong is not a religion, let alone a [Chinese government's slanderous word omitted]. Secondly, we hope that Wenhui News can report Falun Gong based on truth. Third, We request that the central government to investigate the self-immolation incident for the truth." The person in charge was embarrassed and became speechless.
More Hong Kong practitioners stepped out during these three days to reveal the truth. About ten practitioners also exhibited more pictures than usual at the harbor facing the Conference Hall (Tsim Sha Tsui Harbor) and attracted many pedestrians.
Although the cultivation environment in Hong Kong is getting tenser and tenser, we understand that this is the environment the Teacher arranged for us. Practitioners can look within oneself and exchange ideas serenely. Teacher has already told us the solemn and sacredness of Dafa. He also told us the importance of revealing the truth to the people of the world. We will keep studying the Fa and cultivating our hearts, restraining the viciousness while revealing the truth. We won't allow vicious people to slander Dafa, cheat innocent people and defying human and divine laws. We will cultivate all the way until the end and not let the Teacher down.
