(Clearwisdom.net) February 17, 2002, the annual royal Vietnamese New Year parade in San Jose, California, was held in downtown San Jose. More than 100 practitioners participated this parade to clarify the truth and spread the Fa.
The difference from last year was the traditional Chinese Fan Dancing performed by 10 female practitioners in colorful costume to "Pudu" music in this year's parade. The Vietnamese Community in San Jose City and San Francisco Bay Area highly praised the Falun Gong exercise demonstration and Fan Dancing. In last year's parade, practitioners participated in the parade with the sacred Falun (see report from http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2001/2/1/6673.html ). Right before this parade, the Vietnamese version of Zhuan Falun was translated and the news had been spread widely among the Vietnamese communities. So this year's Dafa march was extremely eye-catching and well received.
