First and foremost, all these artists practice Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, a spiritual practice founded by Mr. Li Hongzhi in 1992. This practice is based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance and has been widely practiced in China for decades. Unfortunately, since 1999 the CCP has been persecuting Falun Gong practitioners to stamp out the practice. Many of these artists have personally suffered due to this persecution or know someone who has. They believe they must help people with their art and use it to reveal the truth about Falun Dafa and support those unfairly treated. They hope that by doing so, more people in China and worldwide will learn about Falun Dafa and help end this tragic persecution.
