To the accompaniment of the music, "Falun Dafa is Good", the waist drum team performed and won much applause. The audience praised their performance and accepted truth-clarification materials.
A western lady reporter said, "You are wonderful. I like your colors. Yellow represents good luck." She accepted truth-clarification materials and listened to a practitioner's explanation of Falun Gong and the persecution. She wished the practitioners good luck.
