Practitioners wish their founder Master Li, a happy birthday.

Headed by the Tian Guo Marching Band, the parade passed through the downtown areas and several tourist spots. Practitioners held banners stating, “Falun Dafa Is Great” “401 Million Chinese Quit Communist Organizations” and “CCP Is Not China.”

Mr. Wu and his wife read an informational flyer.

Local residents Mr. Wu Jiang and his wife watched the parade and said, “We usually think of the CCP when mentioning China. To be honest, the CCP is turning to an adversary. China has many kind people who are opposed to the CCP, just like Falun Dafa practitioners. Though you are suffering persecution, the day of peace will come. I hope more people will know the truth. Keep up with your great job!”

Ms. Kim Seomi, a tourist from Korea, was happily surprised and praised the parade.
