Singing Falun Dafa Hao and holding lily flowers symbolizing the arrival of spring, Washington DC practitioners welcomed western practitioners who went to Tiananmen to appeal for Falun Gong on February 15.
At 4:30pm, five practitioners showed up in front of the waiting crowd. Even though they had not had any sleep for three days, their spirits were high and their eyes filled with compassion. Soon they were surrounded by many news agencies and gave interviews.

Five practitioners told the crowd that through the power of Dafa, even under the close surveillance of police they still unfurled Dafa banners and raised the banners high; through Dafa's compassion they practiced Dafa exercises in front of police in a dignified manner; through Dafa's mighty power manifesting in this world, a practitioner ordered a policeman to stand in the corner of the room when he cursed a practitioner. There are many moving stories about how they validated Dafa on Tiananmen Square. Every practitioner has his or her different but magnificent feat; however their voices are one: Falun Dafa Hao! Thank you, Teacher!"
At 7:20 p.m., we welcomed two female practitioners back at Dulles Airport. Practitioners hugged each other with tears and smiles. The atmosphere touched everyone.
Soon there will be more practitioners coming back from China. DC practitioners will welcome them at the airport and then share with fellow practitioners.
