Hundreds of Banners Hung Up on World Falun Dafa Day
In order to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day on May 13, from the night of May 12 to the early morning of May 13, 2004, Dafa practitioners from a certain region in Hebei Province worked together and hung over 300 banners on the power poles and trees along the main streets in the downtown area. These banners had a yellow background with red characters reading "Falun Dafa is Great," "Falun Dafa is the Righteous Way," "Treating Dafa Kindly Receives Blessings," "Global Trial of Jiang Zemin," and "Stop the Persecution of Falun Gong." Practitioners also posted many small stickers reading "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is Great" and "Falun Dafa is Great" in various places. In the daytime, practitioners distributed many truth-clarification materials and CDs. A couple of days later, over 200 banners were hung up again, effectively shocking the evil.
Broadcasting the Truth in the Marketplace
March 27, 2004 was a Saturday and many people were shopping at the local market. At around 8:30 in the morning, a Dafa song exposing the lies fabricated by Jiang's regime suddenly resonated over the market. People were stunned. Following the music, they gathered underneath a cypress tree. People living nearby also stuck their heads out of their windows to see what was going on. After the song was finished, came the broadcast of World Falun Dafa Radio Station exposing the truth of the so-called self-immolation incident in Tiananmen Square.
Several policemen tried to use a long pole to get at the loudspeaker hidden in the cypress tree. However, after much effort, they still could not locate the loudspeaker in the tree. They could not climb into the tree either because of the thick branches. They had to stand underneath the tree and listen to the broadcast. Among the content broadcast, there were programs in which policemen talked about their own experiences of dealing with Falun Gong practitioners and how they came to understand the truth of Falun Gong. There were also programs describing how people who persecute Falun Gong practitioners receive retribution. The police really wanted to listen.
Over a thousand people gathered there. They were talking to each other, "Falun Gong practitioners are really capable. They put the loudspeaker in a place where people can't find or reach it." Falun Gong practitioners mingled in the crowd and used their wisdom to answer questions people had. People who understood the truth said, "Falun Gong practitioners are really great!"
The loudspeaker broadcast for nearly 2 hours before it was taken down by a crane. Many people understood the truth and this frightened the evil. A practitioner who was present that day happily told practitioners later, "The effect of using the loudspeaker to clarify the truth is really great! The people raised their heads, eagerly listening, whereas the police dropped their heads and listened carefully. There were so many people listening that we could barely get close to the area."
