New York: Persistence Touches Locals (Photos)

Nov. 12, 2005

(Clearwisdom.net) Practitioners have been clarifying the truth in Manhattan for more than a year, rain or shine. Many New Yorkers have been deeply touched by their persistent spirit. Rain, wind or snow could not interfere with the practitioners' truth-clarification efforts. With just one umbrella or raincoat and a plastic bag to protect truth-clarifying materials, when it rains, they continue to distribute information about the persecution on the streets. When the weather is not good, interestingly, more people will come to sign the practitioners' petition to call for an end to the persecution. Some New Yorkers came to sign without even a word. They signed and then left quickly as they were too busy to express their sympathy. Having learned about the truth, they were touched by the practitioners' tireless efforts despite the cold rain and chilling wind.

An American in a sleek suit walked by, and he suddenly asked: "Can I help you with something?" In the evening, he passed by after getting off from work. Without saying a word, he helped to pack up the materials and move the heavy exhibition frames to the practitioners' truck.

It also happened occasionally that some Chinese came to the exhibition site to harass the practitioners: "How much do you make by acting here everyday?"

Looking at such individuals who are still being deceived by the Chinese Communist Party, the practitioners replied rationally: "Think about it, are you going to stand here everyday even if people pay you? I tell you, justice and conscience cannot be purchased!"
