Clarifying the Truth at Vietnam Veterans Plaza in New York (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) At this particular anti-torture exhibition, an actor
depicting a murderous looking Chinese policeman waves an electric police baton
and beats an already bleeding elderly woman locked in a small metal cage. It is
in the heart of Manhattan near Water Street, an area of office buildings and
crowds of office workers. The Falun Gong practitioners are performing the
symbolic anti-torture exhibit to remind the hurried New Yorkers that Chinese
police are torturing their fellow citizens with more cruel methods than they did
to their enemies in the revolution. The locals' paces are hurried; they are busy with work and life and have
little time to think about other things. Most of them only have a few seconds of
time to look at the truth-clarifying materials, but the persistent Falun Gong
practitioners are letting people know about Falun Gong and the persecution in
China. One group of youngsters watched the display boards and said, "It
(persecution) is stupid" and asked where they could learn the exercises. A woman
from Ireland talked to a practitioner and said she had heard about the
persecution before. She said the Irish would not tolerate persecution of
"Truthfulness Compassion Tolerance". When the practitioner told her that the
Irish government had rescued a Chinese student practitioner from the Forced
Labor Camp back to Ireland, she said she was very proud of her government. One
African American woman watched the pictures and immediately she recited the
famous word from Dr. Martin L King Jr., "Injustice anywhere is a threat to
justice everywhere." The monuments want people to remember the history of people killing each
other, but people are forgetful and so history replays again and again. Today,
the Falun Gong practitioners are like moving monuments who are using their
efforts and sacrifices to remind the people of history and encourage them to
step up to stop the persecution so as to build a better future for mankind. |
