(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of October 8, a Caucasian lady brought a bundle of chrysanthemum flowers to practitioner Yang, who was meditating outside the Sydney Chinese Consulate. She hugged Yang and said that she saw her every day in the morning and she brought the flowers to express her support and respect. She waved to other practitioners as she spoke.

Practitioner Yang

Ms. Yang is in her 70s, and every day she leaves home at 6 a.m. and arrives at the consulate at 6:50 a.m. by bus. After hanging "Falun Dafa is Good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" banners, she starts to practice the Falun Gong exercises and send righteous thoughts. Shortly afterward, more practitioners arrive and join her in meditation. Later, practitioners bring in large truth-clarification posters. After 9 a.m., people start to show up at the consulate for passports and other related affairs. The practitioners then start to distribute materials and clarify the truth of Falun Gong to the visitors.

Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, like many practitioners in other areas, Ms. Yang has been clarifying the truth to people at the consulate every day for 11 years. She said that CCP propaganda has misled many Chinese people and she wants people to know the truth.

"We are here to demonstrate the Falun Gong principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and many people have been touched by our perseverance," Yang said. "Several days ago, a young Chinese man told us that he admired our perseverance."
