(Clearwisdom.net) On the evening of September 11, 2005, Hu Jintao's delegation left Toronto to visit Mexico. On September 13, Hu and his delegation traveled to New York to attend the UN World Summit, and left on September 16. I joined some of my fellow practitioners from Toronto to go to New York to take part in several activities, including introducing Falun Dafa to local people, clarifying the facts about Falun Gong, and conveying our messages to Hu's delegation.

A wonderful scene while leaving Canada

At 7 on September 11, two western practitioners from Canada drove to the airport in hopes to seize an opportunity to clarify the truth. They drove around inside the airport and finally found the only entrance to the area Hu would depart from, and then they entered. Actually, they entered a restricted area of the airport, but they did not know it then.

They waited inside for nearly two hours. At 9 a.m. a group of Chinese people arrived. Taking another look, it seemed to be Hu Jintao. When he walked close to them, two western practitioners immediately unfolded a banner reading, "Hu Jintao, the time that God and the people give you is limited" in Chinese. They displayed the banned right in front of Hu Jintao and his entourage. Looking at the banner, Hu and his entourage stood in amazement.

Disappointed "welcome" team

On September 13, Hu's delegation stayed at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. The "welcome" team hired by the Chinese Consulate kept themselves busy for a day. Each of them sweated a lot and fell into a chaotic mess, but no one could see even the shadow of Hu. After 5:00p.m., they were told that Hu Jintao and the delegation had entered the hotel from a side entrance. The "welcome" team dropped the blood-red flags everywhere on the ground before they left.

Hu encountered Falun Gong practitioners

The messages seen by Hu's motorcade while passing by practitioners

Falun Gong practitioners' appeal was very peaceful. With exercise music being played, practitioners did sitting meditation and standing exercises, sent forth righteous thoughts and clarified the facts, which attracted many passersby's attention.

Practitioners waited near the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel where Hu's delegation stayed. At 4:30 p.m., Hu's motorcade drove along Lexington heading for 49th Street. A practitioner waiting there suddenly cried out, "Falun Dafa is Good!" and following the practitioner, the rest of the practitioners shouted out loud messages continuously, "Stop persecuting Falun Gong," "Bring Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Liu Jing and Zhou Yongkang to justice," "Bring those who persecute Falun Gong to justice," "Hu Jintao, the time given to you by God and the people is limited." These messages expressed Falun Gong practitioners' concern, and Hu received them as soon as he arrived in the U.S.

Plainclothes police signal to practitioners

The police gesture practitioners to unfold banners

At 8:45 a.m. on September 14, at the intersection between Lexington and 49^th Street, some motorcades set off. They all headed for United Nations conference. Delegations from many countries set off from there, so it was hard to recognize which one was Hu's delegation.

A police officer was commanding traffic at the center of the road. Suddenly, he turned around and gestured Falun Gong practitioners to unfold the banners. Practitioners understood and hurried took out the banners and unfolded them and shouted to the motorcade "Falun Dafa is Good," "Stop persecuting Falun Gong," Practitioners waiting at other intersections heard shouting, and also hurriedly unfolded the banners.

Hu's motorcade could see practitioners in bright yellow clothes who were holding banners. Seeing the motorcade pass by, practitioners were so excited, "He has heard," "He has seen." Looking at this situation, a practitioner couldn't help sighing with emotion, "Our practitioners are really pure and compassionate."

"You will definitely see him."

On the morning of September 15, practitioners unfolded banners at the four corners of the intersections between Lexington and 49^th Street. A police officer came over and said to one practitioner, "it is a rule that there should not be many people standing here. You'd better go over there to the next street." Some practitioners were reluctant to leave. The plainclothes officer patiently said, "I know what you are doing, but if you don't cooperate, the police will ask you go back to the designated area for you on Park Avenue. Then you won't be able to see anything. I guarantee you, you stay firm at that corner, you will definitely see him."

Practitioners accepted his suggestion, and went to the other street. In less than ten minutes, Hu's motorcade passed by. We stood at the intersection and were face to face with the motorcade. Practitioners held banners and shouted their messages. I also used all my strength to cry out, and I felt our voices shaken Heaven and Earth. The motorcade drove away in the distance. A practitioner asked me, "Did you take a picture?" I said, "I only shouted, but forgot to take pictures."

"God's calling"

At 10:00 a.m. on September 15, an elderly practitioner standing at the side entrance, saw Hu Jintao escorted by two bodyguards walk out of the hotel. She immediately walked up to them, when she was within one meter away from Hu, she shouted in front of him, "Falun Dafa is Good!" "Stop persecuting Falun Gong," and "Hu Jintao, the time given to you by God and the people is limited." At this moment, a woman walked to the practitioner and pushed her rudely, trying to stop the practitioner from calling. The practitioner's call brought out more from practitioners nearby. Hu Jintao entered his car in a sea of shouts. Hu's motorcade drove out of the hotel, passing by 50^th Street and 49^th Street, practitioners standing along the road kept calling out. The police officers on two escort police vehicles, waved to practitioners along the road. Two police officers in the riot police car at the back gave practitioners a thumb up to express their admiration.

Police officers come to learn about the truth

Police officers are listening to the truth

Police officer on duty listens to practitioner on vigil telling him about the truth

As there was a United Nations World Summit going on, many police officers were dispatched here from other areas, and many of them have not learned about Falun Gong. A practitioner said, "I asked ten police officers, only one officer said he had heard about Falun Gong." Later, the practitioner focused her efforts to clarify the truth to police officers in charge of protecting us.

Every police officer who had listened to the truth clarification said, "Thank you for telling me all this." A police officer said, "Though I haven't taken your materials, I've read your display boards from beginning to end, I now understand."

"You're so peaceful, I wonder why the Chinese officials are so afraid of you." A police officer said, "So many protesting groups, only you keep it up. I admire you, and I also support you."

A police officer walked over before off duty, and said, "I've been on duty for a day, I'm very tired, and want to go back home. But I don't know why I seem to still want to be with you."

Three days and three nights

Practitioners stay there for three days and three nights

At an intersection between 48^th Street and Park Avenue near the hotel where Hu stayed, police designated an area for us to appeal. Practitioners from around the world have been staying there for three days and three nights, until the morning of September 16 when Hu's group left.

Practitioners brought with them backpacks, food and mats, regardless of wind or rain, or burning sun. With such hardship and such steadfastness, we only want to let Hu's group be able to hear our voice, learn the truth about Falun Gong, and choose a beautiful future for themselves. In the three days, each time when Hu entered or went out of the hotel, he could run into Falun Gong practitioners in bright yellow clothes. We believed that he had seen and heard. We also hoped that he could understand all this that Falun Gong practitioners have done.
