Korea: Falun Gong Parade Adds Color to the Mid-Autumn Festival (Photos)


(Clearwisdom.net) Mid-Autumn is the most ceremonious festival for the Korean people during the year. In order to help Chinese people who come to Korea to work or study to reduce their homesick feelings and to clarify the truth to them more comprehensively and thoroughly, Korean Falun Gong practitioners held a colorful parade and performances in the area of Seoul where most Chinese people reside on September 26, a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After sending forth righteous thoughts at 1:00 pm, the parade set off from an elementary school. Several practitioners wearing traditional Korean dresses held big posters imprinted with Falun emblem to lead the procession. Following them were a colorful flag troupe, waist drum troupe, and gong and drum troupe. Minghui School students and other Falun Gong practitioners walked behind them and gave various performances while proceeding. Colorful banners with the words, "Falun Dafa is great" and banners showing the worldwide spread of Falun Dafa, as well as lawsuits filed against Jiang were connected to form a long dragon. A pair of golden lions joyfully danced in the procession.

Local citizens along the streets enjoyed the performances. They accepted the truth-clarifying leaflets. At some places, because there were so many spectators that many people had to climb onto the top of the buildings to watch the parade.

There were a number of moving scenes while distributing leaflets along the streets. An 80-year-old grandma was touched to tears upon listening to a practitioner's explanation about Falun Gong and the persecution. She held the practitioner's hands and repeatedly said in Chinese, "I finally meet you, I finally meet you...." Many Chinese people took the initiative to shake practitioners' hands as if seeing family members after a long separation. They carefully listened to practitioners' introduction and truth-clarification. When the parade passed through Chinatown, the crowd of spectators applauded the procession. The scene was quite touching.

During the process of clarifying the facts, more people accepted leaflets and were willing to listen to practitioners' explanations. We realized that the knowing sides of people are longing for the truth.

The parade lasted for 3 hours and concluded around 4pm.
