Dance Performance |
Early in the morning, Falun Gong practitioners set up truth-clarification
display boards in a row for passersby, and practitioners who were to give dance
performances were dressed up and waiting. The people who received Dafa flyers
happily said, "Thank you!"
At noon, the celebration of "Falun Dafa Week" in Alameda County
began with a beautiful dance to the music, "Walk between Heaven and
Earth".
Mayor Ken Bukowski of Emeryville came to the celebration and issued a
proclamation to Falun Dafa practitioners in person. He said that when he learned
what is happening in China, he thought he should support Falun Gong. Although he
was busy with many things, he felt this was a very important activity what he
should attend, and that other officials should also attend. Congresswoman
Barbara Lee also issued a proclamation for "Falun Dafa Week".
People were fascinated by the beautiful Dafa music and stopped to watch
practitioners' dance and exercise demonstration. They kept saying, "How
beautiful!" Upon learning the facts of the persecution, one of them shook
hands with a practitioner and said, "I will support you anytime."
