Everyday People in UK Sit Together With Dafa Practitioners in Front of Chinese Embassy
A UK practitioner Since July 20 of this year, UK practitioners have displayed a poster with the
following pictures and words:
Sit by my side
After reading this poster and other materials of truth-clarification, many
people passing by have signed our petition form to support our peaceful appeals
and stood or sat silently. There have been many touching stories.
One day, it was very sunny and the hottest day of this summer. The pavement
opposite the Chinese Embassy was very hot under the sun. Even while sitting on a
mat, one could still feel the heat from the pavement. It was about 2-3 p.m., the
hottest time in the afternoon, when two teenage boys saw the poster while
passing by. After reading the poster, they sat silently on the ground next to
the Dafa disciples, who were sending forth righteous thoughts. They sweated so
much that their clothes were soaked. However, it seemed that they did not care
and continued sitting for about 40 minutes.
Last Sunday, the weather changed all the time between being sunny and
raining heavily. A Caucasian man, over 50, well dressed, stopped in front of
the poster. While the practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts in a heavy
rain, he sat down next to us. Although he had an umbrella in his hand, his
clothes were soaked quickly. Since the heavy rain came down all of a sudden, the
water could not drain away quickly and almost reached the level of the pavement. He
carried on and still did not stand up. After a while, his trousers became
completely soaked, so he stood up. He then stood together with practitioners in
silence. He spent about an hour with the practitioners there. Before he shook
hands with practitioners to say good-bye, he told them that he is a Quaker and is very sympathetic to Falun Gong practitioners and against the persecution.
On the same day, a middle-aged woman and a young man also joined the
practitioners' peaceful appeal. Instead of sitting down, they knelt down and
prayed.
The kind support for our peaceful appeal by all these people has laid a good
foundation for their lives in the future.
