(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of April 25, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners gathered at the famous attraction of Mill Creek Park in downtown Kansas City to commemorate the April 25, 1999 peaceful appeal in Beijing, often referred to as "4.25." Practitioners performed the exercises and distributed Falun Gong truth-clarifying materials to passersby.

In the past 5 years, facing Jiang regime's brutal persecution, practitioners have been emulating Falun Gong's principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance," in clarifying truth to the public with great compassion to awaken their true conscience.

Practitioners have obtained support from many governments, organizations and the general public. Falun Gong has spread to more than 60 countries and regions and will bring a bright future to all supportive ethnic groups and nations. Meanwhile, the atrocities committed by Jiang's group are being condemned by the entire world. Practitioners have become more mature through this unprecedented persecution.
