Falun Gong practitioners in greater New York celebrated the 11th anniversary of Falun Dafa's introduction in Chinatown yesterday |
World Journal reported on May 12, 2003: More than 500 Falun Gong practitioners held a parade yesterday in Manhattan's Chinatown to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day.
Falun Gong practitioners from New York, New Jersey, Minghui School and Falun Gong Club at Yale University paraded in Chinatown. Practitioners performed lotus dances and music along the route. Many residents stopped to watch.
Yesterday was Mother's Day. Due to the Jiang regime's persecution, Amy Lee has not seen her daughter for 3 years. She wished to be united with her daughter soon. Two and half years ago, she came to US. Her daughter's application for passport was refused again and again. Half a year ago, her daughter finally got a passport but was refused a visa due to the SARS epidemic. "My daughter will be 8 years old next month. I hope she can come soon and that the persecution is stopped. Those practitioners who are forced to leave home can unite with their families. We practice cultivation. These tragedies can be avoided."
Falun Gong practitioners gathered in Roosevelt Park and held a music and dance performance.
