It was the first time practitioners participated in a large-scale festival in this city. In the evening, the practitioners performed the "Fan dance", the traditional "Flower fairy" and "Golden Buddha with A Thousand Hands" dances, and sang "Welcoming Spring", "Awaking Dream", and "Coming for You". When the practitioners demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises, the host explained the facts of the persecution in China in Japanese and then again in Chinese.

The performance won praise and applause. The chairman of the organizing committee said, "I regret that I was not able to see your performance due to my busy schedule, but I heard people praise your performance. Please come again next year."

After the performance, the practitioners distributed lots of truth-clarification materials. Many Chinese people who watched the show accepted the truth-clarification literature, and announced on the spot their desire to quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations.
