Germany: "You have made the Hamburg Multicultural Festival more vibrant!" (Photos)
By a German practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) With support from the Mayor and people from all walks
of life, a Multicultural Festival was held in Hamburg on September 12th. A team
of Falun Gong practitioners consisting of nine different nationalities gave
speeches to the sponsors from the "World Union of Hamburg Culture",
and to the guests; they sent people best wishes and a message "Hoping that
Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance would come earlier" on behalf of
Chinese Falun Gong practitioners. They also wished everyone a wonderful future.
The climax of the Cultural Festival was a parade on September
13th. It was a sunny day and passers-by watched the parade with great interest.
There were nearly thirty groups attending the parade. The Falun Gong part of the
parade was led by a beautiful blue banner reading "The World needs
Zhen-Shan-Ren." Practitioners' lotus dance and fan dance were dignified and
elegant.
The parade and show
A woman could not help saying, "This Chinese dancing is
so beautiful." But no one can forget the terrible persecution that is
happening to practitioners in China.
Feedback from the audience
A passer-by said to one of the reporters, "There should be more
activities like this. The world is becoming smaller and smaller. The ability to
show tolerance towards one another should become a priority so that people with
different beliefs and cultures can peacefully coexist."
The final stop was Hamburg University. The Falun Gong dancing
impressed the committee of judges and was awarded the second prize. One lady
said to Falun Gong practitioners, "Thank you for the wonderful show that
fully displays Chinese culture. You have made the Cultural Festival more
vibrant!"
