(Clearwisdom.net) During the Chinese Communist head's visit to the U.S., many Taiwanese practitioners flew to Washington D.C. to protest and condemn the persecution of Falun Gong and call for action to end the atrocities. Among them, were engineers, architects, schoolteachers, civil servants and housewives. Most of them had to take vacation time and they all had to pay for the trip on their own.

Washington D.C.: Taiwan practitioners joined others to support ten million Chinese who have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations
When asking for vacation time in order to participate in the activities in the U.S., one practitioner's boss was initially unwilling to allow her to go as he believed that she might run into trouble. The practitioner then told him: Falun Gong practitioners in China are being murdered every day and she has to urgently appeal to the world to pay attention to the persecution. In the end, her boss approved her request and even reminded her to hurry up so that she wouldn't miss her airplane.
Taxi Driver: You Have Come to Change this World
To save money, Taiwanese practitioners all stay in hotels in suburban areas which are quite far from downtown. They always leave very early in the morning and come back to their hotels very late. Some even missed subway or transit buses because they stayed very late outside the hotel where Hu Jintao stayed.
Once, several practitioners had to take a taxi. They then started to recite Master Li's teachings. The driver was very curious and asked what they were doing. A practitioner said: We are reciting Falun Dafa teachings and we are all Falun Dafa practitioners. The driver came from Ethiopia and was a Christian. The practitioner told him: Just like your effort to read and recite Bible, we read and recite Falun Dafa teachings. The practitioner also told him the benefit of Falun Dafa and their cause at the capital.
The driver asked: "Will your efforts work? There are so many things alike happening in many countries every day and nobody cares." The practitioner told him: "Being silent in the face of atrocities is to acknowledge them. Everyone should do their best to expose the persecution and such efforts will also give great encouragement to the victims.
Another practitioner told the driver that she had come to Washington D.C. five times using her own money. The driver was very impressed and expressed his respect to practitioners' unselfish spirit.
After the conversation, he concluded loudly: "You have come to change this world! This society is so indifferent with little sympathy. So many people are selfish and only Falun Gong can these good things."
Chinese Discard the Chinese Communist Regime's Red Flag
Whenever they meet Chinese people, Falun Gong practitioners always want to tell them more about the truth of the persecution of Falun Gong so that they won't be misled by the CCP' propaganda. Once, a practitioner clarified the truth to a group of Chinese who were there to welcome Hu. The practitioner told them about the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and asked them if they had read it. One young fellow said that he had read the commentaries twice. The practitioner then asked him: "Have you quit the party?" The young man said: "Not yet."
The practitioner then told him about the murderous history of the regime and the atrocities of harvesting organs from living practitioners. The practitioner then asked a follow-up question: "Why would you still do things for the evil party?" The young man immediately discarded the regime's red flag and left.
There was another scene: When practitioners were reading the Nine Commentaries for these Chinese, one could tell that they were listening attentively though they remained silent. After listening to the reading for a while, their angry faces often softened and they started to talk with practitioners. Quite a few young students quit the Young Pioneers on site.
The CCP even dispatched people to monitor these Chinese. Realizing the Chinese who were in touch with practitioners had learned the truth on day one, the Embassy either replaced them with others or tried to brainwash them. The Embassy even claimed that practitioners got paid for standing there seven hours a day and repeated various lies about Falun Gong.
If I am paid to protest..
When practitioners protested outside the Chinese Embassy, many westerners honked gently when their vehicles passed by and some rolled down their windows with thumbs up to show their support.
There were of course a group of "welcomer" Chinese waiting for Hu's delegation. While they were relaxing in the park outside the Embassy, out of compassion, several practitioners tried to clarify the truth to them. One lady then asked: "How much do you get paid for protesting here? One practitioner answered: "If I were being paid to protest, why would I work so hard to clarify the truth to you while the "boss" is not here. Why would we hold banners and posters in the baking sun? We would just take this opportunity to relax as you are doing. We came here to tell you sincerely that Falun Dafa is good and please don't be deceived by those lies." She nodded in agreement.
Bus Pulls Over Safely With One Tire Lost
The trip to Washington D.C. was arranged in less than one week. Many practitioners had to make several connections to get to New York City. They then took buses to get to the Capital. During experience sharing, we learned that one bus was driving at high speed on the freeway and one tire suddenly came off. At that very moment, one practitioner with celestial eye opened saw Master's law body start to drive the bus and pull it over safely. None of the passengers felt any abnormal change and the bus driver didn't even know that he had lost a tire before he went out to inspect. The practitioner then told him and others what happened, and many passengers exclaimed: Master Li just saved the lives of all the people in the bus.
Unfurling Banners Outside the Hotel Where the Chinese Officials Stayed
  Practitioners protest outside the hotel where Chinese communist officials stayed |  Protesting outside the Chinese Communist Embassy |
On the evening on April 19, around 10 p.m., more than 100 Chinese communist officials showed up outside their hotel where practitioners had been waiting for a long time. The practitioners then started to shout aloud: "Falun Dafa is good, stop the persecution and bring the criminals to justice." The officials were shocked and didn't know what to do upon seeing so many practitioners. They stared at practitioners' banners and listened to practitioners' outcries. At that moment, some practitioner unfurled banners at a site about 2 meters from these officials and called loudly at them: Stop the persecution of Falun Gong. By this time, these officials were already surrounded by practitioners.

Protest outside the Chinese Embassy as Chinese communist officials arrive
Westerner want to tell Chinese Officials: I feel ashamed for you
On the morning of April 20, Taiwan practitioners once again came to the hotel to protest. One westerner stayed in front of the posters for a long time. One practitioner then told him about the urgent situation in China: Sources revealed that the Chinese Communist regime is now trying to massacre Falun Gong practitioners before May 1 in order to destroy evidence of its crimes. Consequently, many hospitals in China are working over time to perform organ transplant operations. The practitioner showed him many materials. The gentleman said that he would study them carefully.
When the practitioner gave him a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, he was very happy, as he disliked the CCP. When he learned how the CCP kills Falun Gong practitioners, he said "I am sorry!" to practitioners because his company was in charge of receiving these Chinese officials and he was their driver.
The practitioner told him: That is OK because this is your job.
The gentleman also said that he would share these materials with his ex-girlfriend who works in a UN human rights organization and ask her to help practitioners. In the end, he said that he wanted to learn Falun Gong and asked where he could attend a class. The practitioner told him that Falun Gong offers free teaching and he could contact local practitioners to learn the exercises for free. He was very happy.
Before leaving, he said that he would ask the Chinese officials--his passengers--if the persecution was true.
"If they say 'yes', I will say: 'I feel ashamed for you'," The driver told the practitioner.
