Korea: Practitioners Clarify the Truth in Inchon's Chinatown (Photos)

Nov. 9, 2002 |   By Korean Dafa Practitioners

(Clearwisdom.net) From October 19 to 20, 2002, a celebration of "the tenth anniversary of Korea-China friendship" was held in Chinatown in Inchon, Korea, where overseas Chinese gathered to hold various celebration activities. Dafa practitioners from cities including Seoul, Taka, Daegu, Suwon, Busan and local practitioners took this opportunity to clarify the truth to the Chinese people.

We first went to the square facing the entrance to Chinatown, hanging Dafa banners, displaying Dafa truth-clarifying photos, practicing the exercises and sending forth righteous thoughts. We later went to the main celebration site, setting up in the park on the hill opposite the village. On our way there, a dozen police officers blocked our way and said that Falun Gong practitioners were forbidden to enter. Practitioners who had entered the site and practitioners who were blocked outside together sent forth righteous thoughts. Shortly after, a miracle occurred. Practitioners wearing Dafa clothing and carrying truth-clarifying literature passed through the police, who seemed not to notice them.

Arriving at the main celebration site, we found many Chinese agents moving around. We began sending forth righteous thoughts and distributing colorful balloons imprinted with, "Falun Dafa is good." Before long, the colorful balloons could be seen everywhere inside and outside the main site. The Chinese government agents started to interfere with us and asked us to leave the site. One of them broke several balloons. Practitioners immediately walked up to him and requested him to give an apology. With the practitioner's powerful righteous thoughts, he had to comply. The "head" of the agents rushed over to me, and I pointed at the characters on the balloons and seriously read aloud, " Falun Dafa is good." He smiled and nodded to me. I repeatedly read aloud, "Falun Dafa is good" in both Korean and Chinese. About five plainclothes agents rushed over to me with fierce looks in their eyes. I immediately took out truth-clarifying VCDs, and raised them high and shouted, "Truth of Tiananmen Self-immolation Incident." A group of overseas Chinese gathered and surrounded me asking for the VCDs. The Chinese officials were blocked outside the crowd and had no way to approach me. Other practitioners also distributed various Dafa truth-clarifying information and materials. Some practitioners began to do the exercises, some hung Dafa banners and displayed Dafa truth-clarifying photo boards. Thus, being unaffected by the interference, we put our hearts into doing what we were supposed to do. The government agents left while we were not paying attention to them.

One practitioner noticed someone secretly videotaping us, so I immediately walked up to him and gave him Dafa truth-clarifying literature, saying, "No matter what purpose you have to videotape us, please first learn the truth about Falun Gong. It can only do you good..." He politely accepted the materials and expressed thanks. Some practitioners displayed truth-clarifying information inside the site, some Chinese officials carefully looked at the display, some accepted our materials secretly, some refused to accept for fear that they were being monitored. I found three people in a car staring at us for a long time, so I went up to them and gave them Dafa truth-clarifying materials. They were Chinese. They accepted the materials and asked many questions. After I answered all their questions, the lady said, "They (the regime) say one thing, you say another thing, who on earth is right?" I replied, "Everyone has his or her own judgment. As for who is right and who is wrong, so long as you calmly and rationally think it over, I believe you will find answers from these truth-clarifying materials..." They no longer asked any questions and all earnestly read the materials.

During our two-day truth clarification activity, a large number of overseas Chinese learned the truth. At the same time, we saw more and more practitioners step forward and put their hearts into the truth clarification activities.
