UK: Chinese New Year Celebrations in London Provide a Great Opportunity for More People to Know the Facts

On January the 25th, tens of thousand of people gathered in the heart of London’s Trafalgar Square to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The Mayor of Metropolitan London and the Mayor of London Westminster, as well as Members of Parliament, were invited to celebrate this holiday together with the Chinese groups.

From Trafalgar Square to Chinatown and Leicester Square, the place was decorated with Chinese lanterns and a huge number of people were in attendance. Dafa practitioners moved among the crowd and distributed materials. In thier hands, they carried several thousand sets of truth-clarifying materials, including newspapers, Video-CDs, leaflets and booklets. In their hearts and minds, they carried the sincere wish to let more people learn the truth about Dafa and the persecution.

In Trafalgar Square, Chinese people who understood the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution expressed that they opposed the persecution of Falun Gong instigated by the Jiang regime. Many people asked for truth-clarifying materials. Some western people specially asked for Chinese materials and told those who were distributing the materials that they were for their Chinese teachers. Some people said that they wanted to download the information from the Internet many times but failed and they were really happy to get it from practitioners. Still some other western people asked practitioners questions about traditional Chinese culture and said that they would like to pass on the information to kindergarten children; they also expressed their wish to explain the facts of the persecution to them with the Chinese truth-clarifying materials.

Several thousand sets of truth-clarifying material were distributed in about four hours. Practitioners all felt it was a pity not to have brought more materials. Master Li said in the Atlanta Fa Conference “Even when in your daily life you pass by someone so quickly that you don't have a chance to talk to them, you should still leave them with your compassion and kindness. Don't lose those who should be saved, especially those with predestined connections.” Encouraged by these words, while looking at tens of thousand of people on the streets, practitioners could feel that their good thoughts and actions had left even those people who had not received the materials with Dafa disciples’ compassion.
