(Clearwisdom.net) At 8:30 a.m. on March 11, 2004, over two hundred Falun Dafa practitioners in a city in China attended the funeral of their elder fellow practitioner who was killed in the persecution. With tremendous grief, the victim's son delivered a memorial speech, in which he reviewed his father's glorious life, the tremendous changes his father had undergone after he started practicing Falun Dafa, and the details of his father's experience of being persecuted. Everyone at the funeral was deeply touched by the story, and everyone gained a better understanding of the greatness of Falun Dafa and the evil nature of Jiang's regime. The speaker had hardly finished his memorial speech when all the practitioners started calling out in a chorus, "Falun Dafa is great! Falun Dafa is righteous! Dafa is innocent! Teacher is innocent! Stop the persecution!"
The hearse advanced slowly along the street, accompanied by the Falun Dafa music of Pudu and Jishi. Walking behind the hearse were over two hundred practitioners who formed two orderly lines down the middle of the crowded and noisy street, holding white flowers in their hands. They shouted constantly, "Stop persecuting Falun Dafa! This Dafa practitioner died from the persecution!" "Falun Dafa is great! Falun Dafa is righteous!" Some practitioners frequently walked out of the lines into the crowd and personally distributed truth-clarification literature. Some in the crowd simply could not wait to read the materials, while practitioners answered their questions. As a lot of people were watching the procession, practitioners proactively clarified the truth to them. Many of the people apparently knew the truth already. They said, "We know Falun Gong is innocent. Jiang Zemin is truly evil. Why in the world was such a good person persecuted to death?"
While the funeral crowd was walking ahead, several police cars, including a police van, were driving along, sometimes in the front, sometimes in the back. Every time the police cars passed by, the practitioners shouted in unison all the more, with greater voices and greater strength. Finally, the police cars quietly disappeared.
After walking for two miles through the downtown area, the practitioners once again shouted with full voices, "Falun Dafa is great! Falun Dafa is righteous! Dafa is innocent! Teacher is innocent! Stop persecuting Falun Dafa!" The practitioners continued to clarify the truth to the local people, and were able to safely leave the scene with no harassment or arrests.
This heroic undertaking of validating Falun Dafa greatly frightened the evil and effectively clarified the truth to the local residents. It clearly demonstrated the strength of the harmonious cooperation among Dafa practitioners.
