(Clearwisdom.net) On January 1, 2007, the Service Center for Quitting the Party in Hong Kong and other organizations held a parade to support the 17 million withdrawals from the Chinese Communist Party. The Divine Land Marching Band from Taiwan, which was formed a few months ago, also came to perform.

Falun Gong practitioners holding a banner reading, "Falun Dafa" led the parade. The Divine Land Marching Band, consisting of 160 members, followed them. Many spectators were attracted to the band. They were happy to accept the truth-clarifying materials and copies of the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" from Falun Gong practitioners and volunteers from the Service Center for Quitting the Party. Many people took photos and videos of the parade.

Mr. Zhong, the director of the band, said that this was the first time for the band to perform outside of Taiwan. Their purpose was to bring the beauty of Falun Dafa to the public in Hong Kong. Most members of the band are not professional musicians. They had been practicing for this parade for three months. Falun Gong practitioners and other attendees held many banners to spread Falun Dafa and expose the CCP's brutality. The attendees also called for support for Mr. Gao Zhisheng, who is being persecuted by the CCP for supporting Falun Gong. Practitioners also performed Tang drum and Celestial Maiden dances. The parade started at 12, and passed through the busiest area in Kowloon. Two hours later, the parade ended at Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier. Since there were many tourists at Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier, the band performed for them too.
