She expressed her deepest concern for the lives of Falun Dafa practitioners in China, who are still being tortured, beaten and killed under the Jiang regime's orders. She asked all kind hearted people to help to end this inhuman suppression. Finally, Zhang Cui Ying thanked the people in Riga, Latvia for making the art exhibition such a success.
