More than 2,000 Falun Gong practitioners from Taipei, Ilan, Taoyuan, Hsinchu Miaoli,
Taichung and other places participated in the performances on the evening of October
29, 2006, for the commemorative contest of 50 Years of Retrospection and the National
Autumn Track and Field Open Tournament at the Taipei City Stadium. Among several
performing groups, Falun Gong was the only group invited to demonstrate the exercises.
At the closing ceremony, more than 2,000 Falun Gong practitioners walk into the
stadium, impressive and majestic

Stadium will soon conclude its 50th year of glorious history after the tournament
and is ready to be dismantled and reconstructed. The director of the Track and
Field Association, the sponsor of the tournament Mr. Rao learned the facts about
Falun Gong and found that Falun Gong is not as what the Chinese Communist Party’s
(CCP) negative propaganda describes. He said that Falun Gong is a righteous practice
and righteous way of cultivation, and that in a modern society that is morally
depraved, such a good exercise as Falun Gong should be spread more widely. Therefore,
he took the initiative to invite Falun Gong practitioners to participate in this
historical moment, so that the public will have a better understanding of Falun
Dafa.
When more than 2,000 Falun Gong practitioners made their appearance,
a yellow sea of people filled the entire ground track field. With peaceful exercise
music, practitioners, young and old, performed the exercises with great concentration
and in good order, drawing immediate applause from the audience.
Falun Gong
practitioners lined up neatly, covering the entire ground track field, with the
front row being more than 100 young practitioners. Their ages range from three
to twelve years old. Their orderly movements aroused people’s curiosity,
and the guests in the auditorium could not help but follow the practitioners to
do the exercises.
An older woman said that there are people practicing Falun
Gong in the park near her home. Their movements are peaceful and harmonious. Several
young athletes from Changhua and Taichung said that they could see Falun Gong
everywhere. One athlete said his aunty also practices Falun Gong. Another older
long-distance runner said that he knew Falun Gong was good but did not have time
to practice.
Outside the stadium, Falun Gong practitioners set up two booths
to provide Falun Gong related information. Many athletes stopped in front of the
display boards that exposed the CCP harvesting and selling organs from living
Falun Gong practitioners for profit. They said that they never knew that there
were such things happening in China, and that the CCP is so brutal and ruthless.
Some people came to the booths and asked for Falun Gong truth
clarification materials.
When asked if they were tired after the long drive
to the even, Falun Gong practitioners, young and old, answered unanimously, that
so long as people learn about the wonderfulness of Falun Dafa, they do not feel
tired even though it took them a long time to travel there. When the tournament
was over, seeing many people carrying colorful balloons bearing messages “The
world needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,” and paper lotus flowers, and
seeing them leave happily, the practitioners believed that Falun Dafa’s wonderfulness
has been sown in their hearts.
