(Clearwisdom.net) On July 19, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners from Aichi County came to Glory Park Plaza in the center of Nagoya City to clarify the truth to the public and call for the end of the persecution of Falun Gong that has lasted six years in China.
The park is in the most prosperous area of Nagoya City, with a lot of offices and stores nearby. Early in the morning, Falun Gong practitioners set up display boards in the park to introduce the wide spread of Falun Gong all over the world and expose the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong. Practitioners also hung up banners reading, "Falun Dafa is Good," "Truthfulness Compassion Forbearance," and "China: Stop Persecuting Falun Gong." The banners were very eye-catching and could be seen from far away.

Soon after the display boards were set up, a middle-aged man came to watch. A practitioner greeted him and found out he was from Northeast China and is now a chef in Japan. He had a day off so he came to the park. They talked a lot about Falun Gong and the practitioner gave him some Chinese newspapers. The man was very willing to tell the facts to his relatives and friends in China.
A young man had come to Japan to visit his girlfriend. He said he saw Falun Gong practitioners in Sydney, Australia wearing the same yellow T-shirts printed with words calling for the end of the persecution. He asked many questions about Falun Gong and said he would show the flyers in Japanese to his girlfriend and let his friend in Beijing know what he learned about Falun Gong in foreign countries.
The EXPO 2005 Aichi Japan is close to Nagoya. A lot of people in the streets were going to the EXPO. Many of them visited the EXPO and also learned the truth about Falun Dafa.
About 12PM, a woman in her 40's and two children came to ask more about Falun Gong. She looked Chinese. She asked many questions, from "What is Falun Gong?" to "Why does the CCP want to persecute Falun Gong?" The practitioners answered her questions. The lady said she lived in Tokyo and came here to visit the EXPO. Yesterday, they went to the EXPO and today they came to tour Nagoya and happened to meet the Falun Gong practitioners.
After she learned the truth, she wanted the practitioners to talk to her two sons, so a practitioner talked to the two boys in Chinese and Japanese.
In the afternoon, when the practitioners were ready to pack up the display boards and leave, a group of westerners in red T-shirts came to the park. A practitioner gave them some flyers and asked them if them knew about Falun Gong. One man said he knew a lot but others said they didn't. So the practitioner began to introduce Falun Gong and talk about the six-year-long persecution in China. He also talked about his own experiences when he visited China on a business trip. Because he clarified the truth of Falun Gong, he was deported back to Japan by the Chinese authorities. These westerners were surprised to know that such severe human rights violations were still happening in China.
This group of westerners had EXPO badges on their T-Shirts, as well as many souvenirs from different countries. The practitioner learned that they came from Texas in the United States. Their non-profit organization had some activity in EXPO, so they would be staying in Japan for a week. This day, their work was completed early, so they came out to tour the city. It looked like they had a long-standing predestined relationship with Dafa and so traveled such a long way to learn the truth.
The temperature in Nagoya was above 30 degrees Celsius, but the practitioners had no complaints about the weather. They just wanted to help more people learn the truth and end the persecution earlier.
