The commemoration was held in the old railway business area. Many passers-by came forward to watch and inquire. Some people sat down to watch the films "NTDTV Special on Sujiatun", and "Nine Commentaries No. 5". Many people signed at the signature collection table.

Legislative Committee member Lu Boji said, "The CCP persecutes Falun Gong with inhuman means. The whole world should condemn such atrocities. As a member of the Legislative Committee, I will speak out in legislative sessions if there is any opportunity to do so. I hope that all countries will condemn the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong."

Member of Hualien County Council Mr. Li Hsu-ning said, "Everyone is after money in today's society. Individuals, businesses and governments ignore the CCP's persecution of very basic human rights for commercial interests. One day, China and the world must pay attention to the CCP's crimes. I am shocked at the CCP's bloody crimes. It does not treasure life and help people."

Member of the Hualien County Council Mr. Wei Jia-hsian said, "Falun Gong is a good practice system. People in Taiwan have the freedom to choose to practice Falun Gong. Under the CCP regime, there is no freedom of belief. I support every Falun Gong practitioner in Mainland China."

Huilan Cable TV and United Daily dispatched reporters to cover the event.
