Sweden: A Falun Gong practitioner�s 40th Birthday Celebration

There is a Swedish Falun Gong practitioner who works at Ericsson and is thought of as a hardworking, helpful and friendly lady. On her 40th birthday, a party was arranged for her in accordance with Swedish custom. Realising that this was a good chance let more people learn about Falun Gong and the persecution in China, Falun Gong practitioners performed at the party.

The party was held at the Ericsson Company offices on the 23rd of October 2003. A traditional Chinese Lotus Dance, poetry recitals and the Falun Gong exercises were all performed. Each received a loud round of applause from the audience, accompanied by a few questions. Some Chinese employees were astonished by the answers.

From chatting with her colleagues the next day, the female practitioner found that some had visited and read Falun Gong websites.
