It is my first day of silence sitting in front of the Chinese Embassy. Many phone calls came from other states and countries to encourage us. We study Fa, do the exercises, and send forth righteous thoughts continuously.
At 8:45pm, a police officer drove by and asked us how late we were going to stay. I answered calmly that we would stay here for 263 hours. He smiled and said, "You mean you are not going to leave tonight." I nodded my head with a smile. He was glad and said, "OK! OK!" At 10pm, he drove by again and waved his hand to us.
At 11pm, another police officer on duty came to us and asked the same question. When he learned that we would stay all night in front of the Embassy, he said, "Not a problem."
