UK Practitioners Spread Falun Dafa at Modern Arts Celebration Day in Liverpool (Photos)

On October 12, 2002, UK Falun Gong practitioners participated in the Modern Arts Biannual Celebration in Liverpool.

At 12:00 a.m., practitioners first came to Liverpool to hand out Dafa truth-clarifying information and materials. As it was Saturday, there were a lot of people on the street. Many pedestrians happily accepted our flyers and VCDs; some people stopped in front of our truth-clarification display boards and were moved by Dafa practitioners’ courageous acts in China. Many people were attracted by the graceful and gentle Falun Gong exercises, especially the fifth set of exercise –sitting meditation, which gave people an impression of a tranquil harbour in a noisy environment.

At 4:00 p.m. the dancing group composed of all Dafa practitioners presented the splendid Fan Dance to the citizens of Liverpool that gained a round of applause from the audience. Near the conclusion, the owner of a flower shop nearby presented a bunch of fresh flowers to the youngest performer in the dancing group, nine-year-old Lin Lin.

The same evening, the dancing group was invited to give performances at the most famous hotel in Liverpool. We performed the Fan Dance and demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises. While performing the dance, one practitioner briefly introduced Falun Dafa to the audience, which aroused many people’s interest. After our performance, Former UK parliament member Lord Moyne gave a short speech and answered questions raised by the audience.
