On Saturday, May 31, 2003, Dafa practitioners from states of Missouri, Ohio, Indiana and other areas in central US regions and Chicago local practitioners gathered in front of the Chinese Consulate to send righteous thoughts in close proximity to clear out the dark, dense haze before the public trial of Jiang.

The temperature dropped more than a dozen degrees. Dark clouds, cold wind and dark haze could not hamper Dafa practitioners' righteous thoughts and righteous actions.

A woman who was passing by with her husband walked across the street from the side of the Chinese Consulate and said to us, "I support you. I've seen you staying here for an entire day. I'm a Christian, and I'm not a Falun Gong practitioner, but I support you." After saying this, she was still reluctant to leave us, though her husband had been waiting for her on the opposite sidewalk for quite a while. Finally, she hugged the practitioners and said goodbye.

Two young men were attracted by the pure field of Falun Gong and learned a lot of facts about Falun Dafa from practitioners. Some passersby wanted to learn to practice Falun Gong on the spot. Some people tried to put money into the hands of practitioners who were doing the sitting meditation, but the practitioners politely declined. We do appreciate the kindness of the world's people.

There were also some people with malicious intentions wearing sunglasses and carrying cameras who came out of the Chinese Consulate to take photos of us.

In the afternoon, the sun penetrated dark clouds and shone brilliantly over us.

We believe that while Dafa practitioners send forth righteous thoughts, a large amount of evil factors manipulating people to do evil will be eliminated. People will become more and more clear-headed and reasonable. We hope all people who are fortunate enough to live in this great historic moment will come to learn the truth about Falun Gong and make the right choice between good and evil.
