The celebration began with a color guard performance, followed by singing, dancing, martial arts, and music instruments. Young practitioners with ages between 2 and 10 sang a song titled “Young Dafa Disciples”. Practitioners who often go on the street talk to people about Dafa and the persecution in China shared stories and sang together to thank Master. A group of waist drummers played “Falun Dafa is Great” to conclude the event.

“Master has sacrificed tremendously for us. I will do my best to fulfill my vows as a Dafa disciple,” said one practitioner.
