Practitioners in our city put up a ten-meter-long blue banner, with yellow words announcing, "Celebration on the 11th Anniversary of Falun Dafa's Spreading in the World." Banners with "Falun Dafa is Good!" "Falun Dafa is a Righteous Law!" could be seen fluttering everywhere in the morning breeze. Golden signs with red words saying, "The World Needs Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" glittered on telephone poles in the morning sun and attracted much attention from passers-by.
Although guards were stationed at all the crossroads and residential areas due to the SARS crisis, Falun Dafa practitioners keep clarifying the truth using various means. Truth-clarifying signs, VCDs and other materials are seen everywhere on telephone poles, walls, and in residential buildings.
