[People News] On October 18, more than 5,000 Falun Gong practitioners from Taiwan, the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and other places gathered at Liberty Square at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei to form a giant image of the “Falun emblem and the words ‘Falun Changzhuan,’” creating a magnificent and sublime scene that conveyed the goodness of Falun Dafa to Taiwanese society.
According to reporting in Taiwan by The Dajiyuan reporters Zhong Yuan and Dai Deman, Professor Hsiao Song-shan, chairman of the Taiwan Falun Dafa Association, said that since July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has begun persecuting Falun Gong and has extended it overseas. Recently, international media and human rights organizations have successively exposed that the CCP has launched “transnational repression” in many countries around the world, including harassment, surveillance, and threats against Falun Gong practitioners; or using fake accounts on social media platforms to spread false information to wage cognitive warfare; and even attempting to interfere with the performances of Shen Yun Performing Arts in the United States through threats such as bombings and shootings, drawing the attention of the international community.

Hsiao Song-shan said that for today’s character formation event, in addition to participants from Taiwan, more than five thousand Falun Gong practitioners from the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and other places took part. They demonstrated, with a peaceful and serene spirit, a response to the CCP’s violent and deceitful suppression of Falun Gong, and showed the world the courage of faith and the preciousness of freedom.
Hsiao Song-shan said that the United States and Canada, the European Parliament, and Australia have successively passed laws, resolutions, or motions in support of Falun Gong, urging the CCP to stop the persecution and to stop organ harvesting. Therefore, he hopes that people in Taiwan can understand the truth about Falun Gong, and he also hopes the government can carry out relevant legislation, such as anti–organ harvesting laws, to stop the CCP’s infiltration. When more and more people learn the truth and stand up to oppose the CCP’s persecution and suppression, it is not only a righteous support for Falun Gong practitioners’ freedom of belief, but also a defense of the universal values of human rights and freedom.

The World’s Largest “Falun Emblem and ‘Falun Changzhuan’” Image
Falun Gong’s character formation in Taiwan has continued to this day for 26 years. Wu Qing-xiang, who has a background in architecture, designs the image every year. Wu Qing-xiang said that this year practitioners formed the image of the “Falun emblem and the words ‘Falun Changzhuan,’” because this image was one of the “Falun emblem hanging posters” that early Taiwanese practitioners brought back to Taiwan for the first time after going to China to exchange with Mainland practitioners; therefore, the meaning of the character formation is a commemorative presentation of “not forgetting the original intention in cultivation.”
Wu Qing-xiang introduced that more than five thousand Falun Gong practitioners participated in today’s character formation. In this year’s design, the “Falun emblem,” with a diameter of more than 66 meters, is the symbol of Falun Dafa. In the center is a large swastika (卍), around which are four small swastikas, as well as two Taiji symbols with red on top and blue on the bottom, and two with red on top and black on the bottom. The golden clerical-script words “Falun Changzhuan” below are each 21 meters wide and 17 meters high. He said that every year the character formation is posted online, and some people in China leave comments such as: “So magnificent, so sublime!”
Falun Gong is a mind-body cultivation practice with “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance” as its core principles. Wu Qing-xiang explained that the meaning of this year’s overall image symbolizes that after Falun Gong was first spread in Changchun, China, it quickly spread throughout China and then widely throughout the world, continuing to save people around the globe. To date it has spread to more than 110 countries and regions worldwide, and more and more people of various ethnicities and different skin colors have, one after another, formed a predestined relationship and joyfully obtained the Fa, benefiting in both body and mind.
Wu Qing-xiang said that the difficulty of the character formation increases year by year, requiring overcoming uncertainties such as weather and venue. As the coordinator of the character formation, he divided the venue into 10 zones, each with a person in charge, placing great importance on communication and mutual cooperation with everyone, to ensure the smooth completion of the event. All Falun Gong practitioners, in the process of forming the characters, when encountering conflicts, must require themselves to act according to “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance,” being able to endure hardship, having patience, and being tolerant of one another to form an integrated whole, thereby obtaining elevation of body, mind, and spirit.

Overseas and Taiwanese Falun Gong Practitioners Participate in Character Formation and Feel Very Blessed
A Western Falun Gong practitioner from Mexico whose Chinese name is “Ru Ming” is currently traveling in Taiwan and has been here for three weeks. He said, “Although it was very hot today, I was very happy to come to Taiwan to join the character formation. The spot where I sat formed a small swastika, and after participating I felt very good. I further understood that Falun Dafa is a very good cultivation practice.”
“Ru Ming” described himself in the past as a “little delinquent.” In the past he smoked, drank, and went to parties, not knowing the direction of his life. After cultivating Falun Gong, his body became healthy and his mood cheerful; doing the exercises every day, he looked very energetic. His family and friends saw his changes and felt that Falun Gong was very good, turning him into a “good person.”
Ms. Xue began cultivating Falun Gong in Heilongjiang in 1994 and moved from China to Japan in 2014. She resumed cultivation in Japan. Participating this time in the character formation event in Taiwan, she felt very happy and also felt it was an honor to be a Dafa disciple. She said that the weather was especially good today, and seeing everyone gather together, she felt the whole character formation scene was especially sacred.

Ms. Xue said that although the weather was hot, she did not feel it was hard; rather, because she had the opportunity to come to Taiwan to participate in the character formation event, she felt very blessed. She hopes that after today’s character formation is posted online, it can allow more Chinese people to see such a sacred scene, to understand that so many people overseas practice Falun Gong, and that more people in the world and in China will truly come to know the truth about Falun Gong.
Ms. Bae, a Korean practitioner originally from Jilin, China, began cultivating Falun Gong in 1998. Because of the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong, she moved to Jeju Island, South Korea, in 2002. “Participating in the character formation today in such hot weather, seeing everyone sitting without moving at all and able to endure hardship, was a great encouragement to me,” she said. “Truly, the more you give, the more you gain.” As the character formation concluded successfully, she thought of Master’s teaching: “What is hard to endure can be endured; what is hard to do can be done.”
Ms. Bae said she is very fortunate to be able to cultivate freely overseas and very fortunate to participate in Taiwan’s character formation. She mentioned that before cultivation she had problems with indigestion; her spleen and kidneys were not good, and taking medicine did not help. After cultivating, all of her illnesses got better. She hopes the persecution in Mainland China will end soon and that in the future she can return to China to cultivate freely.

Ms. Zheng came from Hangzhou, China, to live and work in Hong Kong. Because she experienced the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, she feels responsible for helping fellow practitioners in Mainland China. She has actively participated in Hong Kong parades and truth-clarification activities, and has helped distribute newspapers with The Dajiyuan since 2005—now for 20 years. “This time coming to Taiwan to participate in the character formation, I felt very moved. Seeing such a grand scene of more than five thousand practitioners was extremely shocking.”

The Taiwan Falun Dafa Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference (Taiwan Fa Conference) will be held on the 19th at the Taipei Heping Basketball Gymnasium. Ms. Zheng said that she first attended the Taiwan Fa Conference in 2005 and was very touched by the scale and atmosphere of the conference. She cherishes the opportunity to come to Taiwan to exchange experiences with everyone. She hopes that The Dajiyuan can do even better and better, persist in spreading universal values and promoting traditional culture, so that more people in the world will learn the truth.

Mr. Hu and Ms. Su, a couple of Falun Gong practitioners from Malaysia, have both cultivated for 22 years and have come to Taiwan many times to participate in the character formation. Mr. Hu said he truly felt very strong positive energy at the scene. Ms. Su said she is truly grateful to Master! She praised this year’s character formation as very magnificent; every time they come to Taiwan to form characters it is wonderful and very rewarding.

Ms. Huang, a 24-year-old practitioner from Taichung, began practicing Falun Dafa with her mother when she was ten. Looking back, she said the biggest change in herself is that her relationship with her father has become much closer. “My dad used to be very serious, and I didn’t really know how to talk to him,” she said. “But after I began cultivation, I started to take the initiative to care about him.” Because cultivating Falun Gong constantly requires one to examine whether one has deviated from the nature of kindness, “if I hadn’t practiced, I probably wouldn’t have done that.”
She feels that the most important thing in cultivation is faith. “Falun Dafa gives me a standard so I won’t go with the flow,” she said. “Nowadays, many people drink alcohol like it’s water and take sleeping pills like they’re meals—there are too many illnesses of modern civilization.” She hopes that through today’s character-formation event, Taiwanese society can see the power of kindness. “Every Falun Gong practitioner who goes out is like a small particle of goodness, like water—pure and refreshing.”
Taiwanese Falun Gong practitioner Tina has been cultivating for more than ten years. Out of curiosity, after feeling the positive energy from friends who practiced, she took the initiative to read Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Gong. After cultivation, her health improved and her mental state became better; she almost never needs her health-insurance card anymore. She feels that Falun Gong has taught her to “let things take their natural course,” making her calmer and more at ease in her work. Tina has been running her business for many years, and she hopes to pass on kindness to both her employees and customers.
Tina said she actively participates in the annual character-formation event, viewing it as a sense of mission and a way to clarify the truth to the world. For her, cultivation is not only a personal transformation of body and mind but also a social responsibility. She believes Falun Gong allows people, in a morally deteriorating society, to see the power of righteousness. △
