(Minghui.org) The Art of Zhen Shan Ren International Exhibition was held in Arzamas, a city located on the Tyosha River, east of Moscow, from March 23 to the end of April 2019. Local residents were deeply touched by the artworks, which depict Falun Gong practitioners' bravery and unyielding spirit in the face of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution, as well as their peaceful but powerful inner strength gained through the cultivation of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
This was the first time that most exhibition attendees had heard about the persecution of Falun Gong. The persecution was launched by the communist regime in China in 1999 and continues today. A guide at the exhibition explained that Falun Gong practitioners in China had been silenced by the CCP, adding, “That's why Falun Gong practitioners spread the information and expose the persecution. They offer people an opportunity to know what's happening.”
Many people visited the exhibition more than once, and they brought their families and friends. Some lingered for a long while in front of their favorite works.
