(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in Japan participated in the 22nd annual Sobue Ginkgo Festival, November 23-24, 2019 in Inazawa. Located in Aichi Prefecture, Inazawa City has more than 10,000 ginkgo trees and is known as the “golden city.” The festival was held at the Sobue-Cho Gym.
The practitioners distributed fliers to passers-by and demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises at their booth. Visitors were happy to accept their beautiful handmade paper lotus flowers.

People were pleased to accept folded paper lotus flowers printed with the words “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” and “Falun Dafa is Good.”

When a gentleman in his 70s placed a flyer in his upper suit pocket, the words “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” and “ Falun Dafa is good” were clearly visible. He was delighted. “I am promoting Falun Gong!” he said.
A Chinese couple stopped by the booth and listened as a practitioner introduced Falun Gong and talked about the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of the traditional mind-body cultivation practice. The practitioner suggested they quit the Party and its affiliated organizations.
The man said he hadn't joined any CCP organizations, but his wife had joined the Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers as a child. She agreed to quit her membership in these CCP-affiliated organizations without hesitation.
