Demonstrating the harmonious and peaceful exercises
The local government of Naperville issued proclamations for Falun Gong in
both 2001 and 2002. Practitioners have participated in the Labor Day Parade
since 2002. This year, the theme of the parade was "There's No Place Like
Naperville." In addition to demonstrating the Falun Gong exercises,
practitioners prepared the "Tang Dynasty Drum Dance," bringing the
charm and joy of Chinese culture to the event. Several women practitioners in
Tang Dynasty costumes distributed "truth-clarification" materials
along the parade route. They drew the attention of countless spectators, and
thousands of fliers were distributed to the local people. When the float passed
by the VIP seats, the parade marshal announced: "This is the Falun Dafa
team, also known as Falun Gong. It teaches
'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.' Welcome to Naperville!"
The pleasant living environment of Naperville has attracted a large number of
Chinese people over the past few years, especially people from Mainland China.
The great majority of Chinese spectators were pleased to accepted the
Chinese-language version of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist
Party along the parade route.

It has rained every year on the parade since the practitioners have
participated, but this year, the heavy rain clouds suddenly dispersed in the
morning. The beautiful blue sky and brilliant sun above Naperville helped
practitioners demonstrate the beauty of Falun Dafa, clarify the
truth, and call upon the conscience of the people.
