In his introduction, an Italian Falun Gong practitioner told the public that the Divine Land Marching Band is made up entirely of Falun Gong practitioners who follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. However in China, Falun gong practitioners have been brutally persecuted by the Chinese Communist regime for ten years and the persecution continues today.

The practitioner also said that with the exposure of the Chinese Communist regime's atrocities, more and more Chinese people have come to recognize the regime's evil nature. To date, over 61 million Chinese people have quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations.

People learn about Falun Gong

In the afternoon, the Divine Land Marching Band, wearing blue and white traditional Chinese costumes, started the parade along the streets of Milan. Their spirited appearance won praise from the spectators. Almost everyone happily accepted leaflets to learn more about Falun Gong.

The music played by the Divine Land Marching Band was powerful, bringing the beauty of Falun Dafa to the people of Italy. At the same time, the lively drumming also encouraged Chinese people. Some local Chinese people, with smiles on their faces, told practitioners that they also wanted to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party, its youth league and the pioneers.

The parade started from Gramsci Square and finished at Arco della pace Square in the city centre. The activity lasted until 6:30 p.m.
