Falun Gong Practitioners' Parade During EXPO 2005, Aichi, Japan Touches the City of Nagoya (Photos) By Falun Dafa practitioners in Japan
(Clearwisdom.net) On March 27, 2005, the first Sunday after the opening
ceremony of the world-famous 2005 Exposition Aichi, Japan, hundreds of Falun
Gong practitioners held a press conference at a park in Nagoya, condemning the
Chinese Communist Party's and the Jiang Zemin faction's persecution of Falun
Gong. After the press conference, in order to help more people learn about Falun
Gong, the practitioners held an over-two-hour parade through downtown Nagoya,
led by a Japanese police escort. The parade had a big impact on this busy modern
metropolis. When the procession passed the Nagoya City government and other major busy
sections, many Japanese citizens stopped to watch. The procession consisted of
five parts: walking at the front were dancers who danced elegantly while waving
long colored silks, like fairies coming down to the world. After them were
practitioners in Chinese Tang Dynasty Costumes walking gracefully. Next came a
huge banner reading "Falun Dafa is good." Following this section were banners and photos exposing Jiang's faction's
persecution of Falun Gong. The photos showing the brutal persecution touched
people's hearts. Falun Gong practitioners have been silently persevering and
remaining unmoved by the persecution, and they have maintained their great
compassion and tolerance amidst the brutal persecution. Numerous people along
the parade route were touched by the messages in the parade. Banners bearing the
message that Jiang Zemin has been sued in 14 countries for persecuting Falun
Gong showed that those who have done evil deeds will definitely and ultimately
be punished by law. The waist drumming team was the last part of the procession. The vigorous
drumbeats were so inspiring and pleasant, and the drummers were appealing to
all. Their whole demeanor was very impressive. A Falun Gong practitioner clarifies the facts Japan has inherited numerous aspect of Chinese culture, reflected in the
Chinese written characters, language, dress and customs, music and art. For
Japanese people, whose lives have naturally inherited many wonderful aspects of
the Tang Dynasty culture, the Falun Gong practitioners' procession, with the
flavor of the Tang Dynasty, seemed to awaken their ancient memory. Besides the
people who watched the parade from their windows and doors along the streets,
many pedestrians hurrying by on the street also stopped to watch, and even
Japanese youth, who are sometimes indifferent to the world's affairs, also
accepted Falun Gong truth clarification materials. A young Japanese man takes photos of the festive waist
drummers A young Japanese man took photos of the procession with his mobile phone
camera, and an elderly man followed the procession to videotape it. A Japanese
woman stopped her hurried steps. After watching the parade for a while, she
talked to her friend on mobile phone, saying, "Ah, it's really
beautiful!" An elderly man took a truth clarification flyer and said, "I understand
what the procession means. It is to say that Jiang Zemin caused the deaths of so
many people; he is too cruel!" Another gentle and kind Japanese woman said,
"I know this Falun Gong, the movements are very graceful." Several
women stood in front of their doors and exclaimed, "Really beautiful! Why
persecute them?" Posting date: 4/2/2005
