Leader (Community Newspaper in Sydney, Australia): Harmony Put Into New Year
FALUN DAFA [practitioners] had a message of harmony for
the Australian Chinese community when they kicked off Chinese New Year.
The new year officially starts on February 1, but
followers joined with Tongsong Music and Culture Promotions to jump the gun
with a January 4 gala spectacular attended by about 1000 people at
Hurstville Entertainment Centre.
The Variety show, Music of the Spring, was designed to
enrich Chinese culture in Australia, and to celebrate the onset of 2003 with
people of Chinese extraction. A spokesman said the show's theme centered
around creating a closer bond between the Australian Chinese community.
"Our aim is to dispel the myths and negative portrayal of
Falun Dafa instigated by the Jiang regime in china," he said.
The show included singing, dancing, music, storytelling,
and a Chinese Tang Dynasty fashion parade, and was attended by Sydney's
Chinese community.
