夜晚,人们仍关切地来了解法轮功真相
At night, people read the display boards about Falun Gong and the persecution in China.
During the days' activities, many passersby saw the word “Falun Dafa” on practitioners' T-shirts and said, “Hi, Falun Gong. Please give me a flier.” Many of them continued to encourage the practitioners. Even though the temperature was high, many people talked to the practitioners for a long time, asking questions such as why Falun Gong is being persecuted and why practitioners are so persistent with their belief in the face of such brutal persecution.

On the night of August 6th, the practitioners held a candlelight vigil to commemorate the 3582 practitioners who are known to have died in the persecution. The banners read “The World Needs Truthfulness Compassion Forbearance” and “Stop the Persecution of Falun Gong”. The candles formed three letters “SOS”. The solemn event exposed what is happening in China and called for justice and conscience. A lot of people walked by, while many watched from the side and took photos and videos.

Many young people read the display boards too, as their parents actively explained the truth to them. One child about 3 years old asked his mother what it is about. The mother said, “They are good people, the bad guys beat them like this. Look, they are in pain.” Another parent talked to his children, “They are the same people as those doing exercises in the park. This is to ask us for help”
In the past, usually the people would leave after 9 p.m., but this time was different, as a lot of people were still lingering around after 10 p.m., and many came to view the truth-clarification display boards.
