(Clearwisdom.net) On February 19-20, 2005, the "Uncompromising Courage" Art Exhibit was held at the newly completed International District Community Center in Seattle's Chinatown. All works in the exhibit were created by Falun Gong practitioners. The works displayed the wonderfulness of cultivating Falun Gong while Falun Dafa is being widely spread, and the uncompromising courage demonstrated by all Falun Dafa practitioners who have been clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings with their great compassion and tolerance over the past five years of brutal persecution. The works also reveal the universal truth that "Good will be rewarded with good, evil will meet with evil."

Many predestined people were attracted to the art exhibit. Shortly after the beginning of the exhibit, a Westerner carefully studied all the works and immediately wanted to learn the exercises. A man from Jilin Province, China rushed to the hall and asked a Falun Gong practitioner to explain to him about those works. When the practitioner talked about the universal characteristic, he earnestly followed and read, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."

A Chinese mother and her two teenage children came to the art exhibit. She told practitioners that her son received a flyer about the exhibit on the way, and asked her what Falun Gong is, and why there is a persecution going on, and he insisted on coming to take a look. His mother knew her son was serious and brought them here. Through practitioners' explanation of the works, and answering their questions about cultivation and the persecution, the mother gradually developed a positive attitude toward Falun Dafa. She told practitioners that she would always skip the topic about Falun Gong in the newspaper before, while today, her son's insistence brought her to the art exhibit to learn about Falun Gong. She called her two children to come to meet Falun Gong practitioners and they happily took truth clarification materials before leaving. The children would read them after returning home.

An American man brought his four-year-old son to the art exhibit. He read the explanation for each painting to his son. When his son saw the Falun emblem, he smiled happily. A practitioner brought her good friend. While standing in front of the paintings depicting the persecution, her friend said, "Too brutal."

The second day, ten minutes before the art exhibit was over, a young woman hurriedly came in. She carefully read the explanation of each painting, and looked at them for a long time. The woman was deeply touched by these works, and sat in a corner, crying. She told practitioners that she had an interest in Qigong. Before leaving, she took the introductory materials about Falun Gong cultivation.
