Wearing Falun Dafa clothing at the time, they helped more people come to know about Dafa and helped to clarify the truth to Chinese people in particular. The associated organizations praised the Falun Dafa Association, saying, "You have done an excellent job. You have done everything you should. If we (the government organizations) were asked to organize such activities, we would not have done it as successfully as you have."
