Visitors were drawn into deep thought about the meaning of the artwork. A woman was so touched by the painting "Coming for You" that she had to take a picture of it. It was a painting showing thirty-six western Falun Gong practitioners from thirteen countries unfolding an eight-foot-long banner reading "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" on Tiananmen Square on Nov. 20, 2001. They risked their lives to tell the Chinese the true story of Falun Gong. The overwhelming golden light on the painting implies it was an important historical moment and focus of all attention in the universe.

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Li Jianhao told the exhibition visitors his own experience when he showed them the painting Tiger Bench. He had demonstrated this torture method at an Anti-Torture Exhibition to expose the persecution in mainland China. Even though it was a simulation, it gave him great pain in his hips, waist and feet within an hour. He felt the misery that Falun Gong practitioners had been subjected to and realized how much compassion and forbearance they had shown facing the persecution. He hoped more kind people would lend a hand to help stop the persecution. Every signature is a strong voice calling for justice.

Professor Zhang Kairui said the National University of Education is a cradle of future teachers. This art exhibition leads students to think about what is the spirit of art, compassion, and being steadfast in the truth.

Professor Zhang said this exhibit provided a sharp contrast between mainland China and Taiwan. Many teachers and students in China have to leave their schools and homes under the overwhelming persecution. Teachers and students in Taiwan enjoy the freedom of practicing Falun Gong. He hoped this art exhibition would raise awareness of the inhuman persecution of Falun Gong so that more people would help stop the CCP's persecution of innocent Falun Gong practitioners.
