On the afternoon of December 28th, German Falun Dafa practitioners held an experience sharing conference at a youth hostel in Wetzlar. Practitioners came from all over the country to discuss the benefits they had received from practising Falun Gong as well as experiences and understanding gained while raising awareness of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China.

From the 11th to the 15th of December, 2007, the “Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance” Art Exhibition was held at the Mediatheque in Dole, a city in Jura Province in eastern France. The exhibition, hosted by the Falun Gong Association of Jura Province, was supported by the Mayor of Dole and Members of Parliament. Many media also reported the event.

Mr. Li Zhengling, 43, was arrested in December 2004 and sent to a local detention centre. In July 2005, detention centre officials notified Mr. Li Zhengling's family that he was in critical condition. When his family members came to the detention centre, they saw that Mr. Li Zhengling's entire body was swollen. He had injuries on his face and mouth. He was unable to urinate on his own and was using a catheter. He could not recognise people, yet the prison told his family members that since he was getting better, they could not release him. In August 2005, Communist Party officials sentenced Mr. Li Zhengling to five years in prison. In October 2007, when Mr. Li Zhengling's family went to Deyang Prison to visit him, they saw that he was disfigured and emaciated, and he was blind. He could not take care of himself, yet the prison refused to release him.

On March 15th, 2007, 610 Office officials went to the Career Training College of Wanyuan City. They asked the school to cooperate with them to arrest one of their computer teachers, Mr. Xiong Zhengming, a Falun Gong practitioner. Esteemed by both his colleagues and the parents of his students, Mr. Xiong even used his own money to help the less fortunate students in his class. He was arrested while he was teaching a class. Both students and teachers adamantly protested Mr. Xiong's arrest but to no avail. The police then broke into his room and took away some of his belongings, including his computer. He was sentenced to a year and a half of forced labour and taken to the No. 2 Detention Centre of Wanyuan City. On December 3rd, he was transferred. Mr. Xiong's whereabouts are now unknown.

Ms. Yang Wenjie had been unlawfully sentenced to three years of forced labour for refusing to give up her beliefs. Her term in the forced labour camp ended in February 2005, but officials at the 610 Office took her directly to the brainwashing centre, where she was held for nine months. She was then sentenced to three more years of forced labour. One year later, officials from the labour camp notified her family that they could take her home, but members of the 610 Office took her to the brainwashing centre once again. At the centre, she was abused so brutally for six months that she almost died. Fearful that they would be held responsible for her death, officials from the brainwashing centre allowed her to be taken home in February 2007.

In 2000, Ms. Zhang Yan was arrested when she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and sent to Sichuan Women's Forced Labour Camp, where she and other practitioners were persecuted by being forced to stand facing a wall for 18 hours a day every day. They were not allowed to shower, change clothes, or even brush their teeth. They were locked in their rooms all the time and each of them was allowed to use the toilet in their rooms only twice a day. The toilets in their rooms were dirty and uncovered. Eventually, Ms. Zhang became covered in scabies. In summer, the rooms were steaming hot, and still the guards forced them to sit on plastic stools facing the wall for 16 hours a day. The guards didn't allow the practitioners to have family visits, make phone calls, or send letters. The practitioners had to do hard labour and were made to attend brainwashing sessions.

Early Christmas morning, calls to the ticket hot-lines started coming in non-stop. More than an hour before the show, the audience began lining up outside the theater. Before the show began, spare tickets were hard to come by. The audience that night was made up of many different ethnicity's from various cultural backgrounds and ages. They had high praise for the show and thanked the Divine Performing Arts for an unforgettable Christmas.

Having toured more than forty countries and staged more than one hundred exhibits, the "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" International Art Exhibition opened in the library of National Yunlin University of Science and Technology, Taiwan again on December 26th, 2007. Faculty, students and the general public attended the exhibition.

The Divine Performing Arts Touring Company held a second show at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Fort Lauderdale on December 28th, 2007. The two consecutive shows made a big impression on the Florida audience.
