(Clearwisdom.net) July 12, 2003 Falun Gong practitioners of Wisconsin
participated in the Milwaukee South Shore Frolic Parade and won the "Best
Appearance" award.
Thousands of people watched the annual South Shore Frolic Parade along KK
Street where over one hundred groups participated in the parade. The Falun Dafa
group won the "Best Appearance" award for its rich Chinese culture.
The Falun Dafa float was decorated in purple with colorful lotus flowers. On
the float, three Falun Gong practitioners in traditional Chinese costumes
demonstrated the exercises peacefully accompanied by Falun Dafa music. Leading
the procession was the "Flower Basket Dance" section. The female practitioners
performed the dance elegantly. Immediately following was the "Fan Dance." A
group of practitioners danced with pink fans and won warm applause from the
audience. Among the procession, there were two banners reading, "Truthfulness
Compassion Forbearance."
Ms. Maureen Zebian, a high school teacher, said, "Though people in over 60
countries can freely practice Falun Gong, it has been persecuted in China over
the past four years."
"To Jiang's regime, Falun Gong is too popular. Though many people improved
their health after practicing Falun Gong, Jiang still felt it was a threat to
his own power. From July 1999, Jiang's regime started a brutal persecution of
Falun Gong practitioners in China. We want to show the people the beauty of
Falun Dafa and raise awareness of the human rights violations in China."
