The mayor of Teteles de Avila Castillo was at the fair that day and accepted Falun Gong literature with information about the practice and the persecution. He was very happy and thanked the practitioners, saying that his wife was really interested in the practice.
The practitioners handed out all the literature that day to people enthusiastic about learning the practice. Many passersby learned about the brutal persecution of practitioners in China, including the atrocity of state-sanctioned organ harvesting from practitioners incarcerated for their faith. Large numbers of people signed a petition demanding that the Chinese regime immediately stop the persecution of Falun Gong.
The organizer of the fair was amazed to learn about the healing power of Falun Gong. She expressed interest in learning the exercises from practitioners in her area.
A man was shocked to learn that practitioners are arrested and tortured for their faith in China. A woman said that she understood the teachings of Falun Gong. “I know Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) is good, and I will introduce it to my daughter. I hope she can be more patient as she raises her children,” she said.
As the activity came to an end for the day, a staff member of the fair came over to the practitioners’ booth and asked for some origami lotus flowers that the practitioners were giving out. She adored those flowers and said, “It’s a good symbol for me.” She also learned the Falun Gong exercises from the practitioners.
As the practitioners were getting ready to leave, another staff member came over to thank them for their participation in the day's event. She told the practitioners that Falun Gong brought people hope. “Our lives are full of pressure, and we need a way to relax and calm down. I hope to see you again next year,” she said.
