【明慧网二零一一年八月二十五日】二零一一年八月二十一日，美国伊利诺大学俄巴那-香槟分校（UIUC）迎来了一年一度的新生入学活动日。来自当地的法轮功学员在学校中心广场上（Quad），向中西方学生揭露中共迫害法轮功的真相，并告诉人们中国现在正在发生着的巨变——已经有超过一亿中国人声明退出中共党、团、队组织。
这是当地法轮功学员从二零零一年起，第十一次参加这个活动。大家明显感觉到世人都在等待着了解真相，尤其是来自大陆的中国学生更是希望了解真相。他们没有了以往的对中共的恐惧和顾虑。法轮功学员带去的所有中文真相资料几乎全部被中国学生索取。
一位学员遇到一位黄姓的同学，他告诉我们他在国内就用法轮功学员开发的破网软件，很好用。他拿着一个高级照相机，给学员们在法轮大法横幅前照了一张合影，说要放到他的脸书（facebook）上。
一位刚从大陆出来不久的同学，起初对法轮功有很多疑问。学员就给他解答，后来他紧皱的眉头逐渐展开，渐渐露出笑脸。后来他感激地跟学员握手，高兴地离去。
不少中国学生都在我们的登记表上签名，留下电子邮箱，希望能学习法轮功。
一位美国老人看到学员们很高兴，他说他是从加州旧金山来的。他早就知道法轮功被中共邪党迫害的事。他祝我们好运，希望能尽快结束中共在中国的统治，还法轮功以自由。
有一位大陆新学生，他说在国内对法轮功不了解，后来到香港旅游才了解迫害的真相。他说他的父亲经历过六四事件，而他的爷爷在文化大革命中受到过伤害，所以他的家人非常了解中共的邪恶本性。在认真听取法轮功学员的解答后，他对大法有了更深的了解，临走时拿了很多真相资料，并说是拿给身边的人看。
还有一些中国学生虽然因为心中的疑惑而没有驻足，但是他们的眼中写满了震撼，可以感受得到邪恶的因素正在瓦解。
有一位中国同学三次走到我们的展台，后两次更是带来了他的朋友来了解真相。他兴奋地说：“你们金黄色的标语最显眼了，真了不起！”
Practitioners at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Introduce Falun Gong to New Students at Annual Welcoming Event
By a practitioner at the University of Illinois University at Urbana-Champaign
(Clearwisdom.net) On August 21, 2011, University of Illinois University at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) held an annual event to welcome new students. Local Falun Gong practitioners set up a stand on Quad Square in the central campus to introduce Falun Gong, expose the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution, and spread the news that more than 100 million Chinese people have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
This is the tenth year that local Falun Gong practitioners have participated in this annual event. People seemed eager to hear about Falun Gong, especially students from China. Almost all of the informational materials in Chinese were distributed over the course of the event.
A practitioner spoke with a Chinese student who said that when he was in China, he used software that Falun Gong practitioners had developed to break through the CCP’s information blockade. He took a group photo of the practitioners in front of the banner worded “Falun Dafa.” He said that he would post it on his Facebook page.
Quite a few Chinese students signed the visitor book and left their e-mail addresses, expressing their wish to learn Falun Gong.
A new student from China said that he did not know much about Falun Gong until he traveled to Hong Kong. He said his family knew the CCP’s true nature. After listening to the practitioners’ explanation, he understood more about Falun Gong. He took several copies of informational materials for people around him.
A Chinese student came to the Falun Gong table three times. Each time he returned, he brought more friends to learn the facts also. He said excitedly, “Your golden banner is so eye-catching. You are doing great!”
