(Clearwisdom.net) On May 17, 2005, Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi arrived in Japan for an eight-day visit in Japan that included a trip to the World Expo. She went to Tokyo on May 22. Falun Gong practitioners in Japan held a peaceful appeal in front of the hotel where the Chinese delegation stayed. They wanted to inform the Chinese officials of the popularity of Falun Gong in foreign countries, and to urge the CCP to immediately stop persecuting Falun Gong.
At first, the practitioners could not find the delegation, due to the size of the hotel and the overwhelming number of security officers. Later, several practitioners found the conference hall, but they didn't know if Wu Yi was inside. They waited patiently as they sent forth righteous thoughts. As some practitioners were about to move to other floors they heard some noise and saw a group of plainclothes police officers and Chinese consular officials forming a human chain surrounding Wu Yi in the middle. A practitioner recognized Wu Yi and shouted, "Vice Premier Wu Yi!" Wu Yi stopped for a second; she turned her head and the people around her also looked toward the practitioners. This practitioner shouted, "Please remember Falun Dafa is good! Truth- Compassion-Forbearance is good!" Other practitioners also spoke the heartfelt words, "Falun Dafa is good!" in a loud and clear voice.
The Chinese officials surrounded Wu Yi as she entered the elevator. Some Japanese police officers arrived and asked what the practitioners were saying. When the practitioners told them, one of the officers said he recognized the practitioners, who often held banners in front of Parliament. He said he took many truth clarification newspapers and had a good understanding of Falun Gong. The practitioners then gave the officers information on the lawsuit against Jiang Zemin filed in Japan.
