(Clearwisdom.net) At a Chinese New Year street market event in a major city in Argentina, the Falun Dafa booth was one of the most welcomed. From morning to evening, it was crowded with people. Everyone wanted to know what Falun Dafa is and why it is persecuted in China. Many people came to the booth to hear about Falun Dafa and the persecution. After listened to practitioners introduce the topics, people would ask many questions. Sometimes, even before the practitioner said a few sentences, someone in the crowd would say, “Jiang Zemin is afraid of Falun Gong. Bad people must be afraid of good.” Many people were very interested in the lawsuit against Jiang and said, “It’s good to sue him!” Many people couldn’t accept that how a country could persecute such peaceful practitioners. Many wanted to sign our petition form requesting to stop the persecution. Many wanted to learn the exercises and read the Falun Gong books. One old lady bought six copies of Zhuan Falun. Many others left with various Falun Dafa materials.
There were a lot of visitors at our Falun Dafa picture show, especially Chinese people. They watched the pictures one after another carefully. Some asked, “Is there a photo of your Teacher?” Some Chinese watched the pictures for a long time without a word. We could tell from their faces that the truth had a strong impact in their hearts. One middle-aged Chinese used to spill bad words toward us when he saw us in Chinatown in the past two years. This year, he stopped scolding and was sometimes looking for us. Gradually, he began to accept our materials. This time, he saw our booth and banners. He smiled and said, “You are great!”
Before the end of the street market event, our flyers were all gone. The practitioners told the audience the truth of Falun Gong again and again. We had a six-meter wide banner on top of our booth that said “Rescue Falun Gong Practitioners.” Since there was no place to hang our other two banners, we put them up across the street. The next day in the TV news about Chinese New Year, we saw our two banners hanging over the street. The red words printed on yellow background read, “Falun Dafa is Great” “Falun Gong, Truthfulness Compassion Tolerance.”

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.
