(Clearwisdom.net) On September 24, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners were invited to introduce Falun Gong during a school event at the Martin Luther High School. A former teacher at the school who holds the responsibility for the events programs had watched a parade in a German town, in which Falun Gong participated. He was very moved by the dances, the vibrancy of the practitioners and the terrible truth about the cruel persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. A week later, because of his recommendation, Falun Gong participated on-stage in a school event as part of a cross-cultural program.
Once the Falun Dafa music echoed through the hall, everyone ceased to talk and watched the practitioners' slow and flowing exercise movements on the stage. During the performance that followed, more and more onlookers came into the hall to watch the performance.
After the performance, many of the visitors happily accepted flyers explaining about Falun Dafa and detailing the persecution taking place in China. Before leaving, the practitioners thanked the teachers and asked them sign their name on a petition signature collection sponsored by the International Society for Human Rights (ISHR) calling for practitioner Xu Youlin's release from illegal detention in China.
