(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners attended two events, the City Planning Citizen Exchange Festival and the 2025 International Festival on November 15 and 16, 2025, respectively.

The practitioners performed the Chinese waist drum dance, and also demonstrated the Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong) exercises during both events. They set up an information booth, taught people the exercises and exposed the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) 26-year persecution. Many local residents said they broke out in a sweat or felt warm, and experienced a strong energy field after doing the exercises. Some implored the CCP for its brutal persecution of Falun Gong, while others realized that they had been misled by misinformation about the spiritual practice.

Woman Feels Strong Energy Field

Ms. Dohi became interested in Falun Gong after trying the exercises. She said: “I thought the movements would be difficult, but it turns out to be so easy to learn. I felt my entire body become warm and comfortable after doing the exercises. Importantly it is free to learn. I can learn this with confidence. When I placed my hands above my abdomen, I felt how profound the practice is. I want to ask my father to learn it too. Can I do the exercises again with the next group of students?” She decided to continue doing the exercises by joining a practice site nearby.

Ms. Sako’s complexion became especially rosy after doing the exercises. Her friends were amazed by her change in appearance. She too plans to join a local practice site and continue to practice Falun Gong.

Ms. Kimura and Ms. Gotanda both felt their bodies becoming warm after doing the exercises. They plan to introduce Falun Gong to their friends and take them to the practice site at Memorial Park to do the exercises. Thus, they took several fliers home.

Mr. Randall from Costa Rica said: “It is the first time that I came across a Falun Gong information booth. I listened to the introduction on the practice. I will go to the website on the brochure to find out more about this.”

People Condemn the CCP for the Brutal Persecution

Mr. Sinmoto heard about Falun Gong. She was told that it is a practice that improves people’s health and teaches one to be a good person. He is also aware of the CCP’s attempts to infiltrate countries around the world. He said: “This persecution should not happen, forced organ harvesting cannot be condoned. China has several thousand years of history, changing dynasties and rulers, the CCP is surrounded and destroyed by the whole world at the moment, its destruction is imminent. I say this to the entire world without fear, I am a fan of Falun Gong practitioners.”

Mr. Sinmoto criticized the CCP for its persecution of Falun Gong.

A Japanese man had misunderstandings about Falun Gong, perhaps given the vicious propaganda spread by the CCP. He came to the information booth by chance. After listening to practitioners explaining to him what Falun Gong is about, he truly learned the facts about the persecution and dispelled his former bad impression about the practice.

Mr. Yoshida came to the information booth after watching practitioners performance on the stage. He said in Chinese: “Your performance is great.” He asked for details on how to learn the exercises. He said: “I hope Chinese citizens have freedom of action and speech rather than being afraid to speak, or be wrongfully judged. It would be good if China can become a society like Japan, where people can voice their opinions freely.”

Mr. Yoshida praises the performance by Falun Gong practitioners in Chinese: “It is amazing.”
