(Minghui.org) Many practitioners have written articles on the Minghui website about how fellow practitioners in Hong Kong and Taiwan have been clarifying the facts about Falun Dafa at all the tourist attractions. These activities have offered Chinese tourists the opportunity to understand that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been lying to them. The articles also mention that the tour guides are not happy with these activities and have advised tourists not to pay attention to the information provided by the Falun Gong practitioners.
In my own mind I have the following questions: Although people in China have been deceived by the CCP and therefore do not want to listen to the practitioners, which is easy to understand, why should the tour guides take the same position as the CCP? Are they being threatened by the CCP in some way that will affect their business? If so, we need to expose what the CCP is doing. I also want to make two suggestions:
1. We should help the tour guides to understand the facts about Falun Gong.
I think a tour guide can have a significant influence on the tourists. A tour guide who understands what Falun Gong is about will not interfere with practitioners. Are we affecting the schedules of the tour guides or adversely impacting their activities? If so, we should try to reach a mutual understanding as to why we ask the Chinese people to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
2. Could we encourage practitioners to be tour guides?
We have many practitioners in both Hong Kong and Taiwan. Should we ask some practitioners who have the talent to work as tour guides? If the guides are themselves practitioners, there will be more opportunities to talk to the tourists and help them understand why they should withdraw from the CCP. I think practitioners working as tour guides can influence the tourists a lot more and have a greater impact getting the Chinese people to withdraw from the CCP. Furthermore, they will have employment while explaining the facts about Falun Gong to the tourists.
I have never visited Hong Kong or Taiwan, so I don't know the real situation there. The above are just some views I have that may be helpful. Please point out anything that is not proper.
