(Clearwisdom.net) On July 20, 1999, Jiang, the Chinese dictator started
persecuting Falun Gong. Over the past three years, millions of Falun Gong
practitioners have encountered the persecution. At least 438 practitioners have
been tortured or beaten to death. July 20, 1999 will be recorded as the darkest
day in human history.
On July 20, 2002, Falun Gong practitioners in Macao held a series of
activities from 5 AM until 10 PM to call on people from all walks of life to pay
attention to the persecution in China and help to end the persecution as soon as
possible.
From 5 to 7 AM, practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts and practiced the
exercises in the park facing the Chinese Liaison Office. We distributed Dafa
materials at the open area in front of the Pujing hotel. From 8 to 10 PM,
practitioners held a candlelight vigil to mourn the more than 400 people who
have lost their lives in custody. In the solemn and peaceful atmosphere, with
white and translucent lotus flowers and flickering light, practitioners studied
the Fa, sent forth-righteous thoughts and exchanged experiences. We further
strengthened our determination in cultivating Dafa.
