【明慧网二零一一年七月七日】二零一一年七月四日,北马里亚纳群岛的首府塞班岛举行了一年一度的美国独立日大游行庆祝活动,塞班岛法轮大法学会也同往年一样参加了此次游行,并受到民众欢迎。游行后的第二天,当地的《塞班论坛报》(Saipan Tribune)将法轮功学员在主席台前表演的照片刊登在头版头条。

游行于上午十点半开始,法轮大法的游行队伍包括腰鼓队、仙女队、花车等。先由“法轮大法好”横幅开道,精神抖擞的腰鼓队紧随其后,学员身着金黄色炼功服,排着整齐的队伍,伴随着“法轮大法好”的乐曲,挥舞着手中的鼓棒,鼓声阵阵,响彻云霄,震撼着人心,赢得观众的阵阵掌声。在“世界需要真善忍”的横幅后,八位女学员组成仙女队,她们身着轻盈飘逸的服饰,手持着亮丽的花伞,伴随着悠扬悦耳的乐曲,迈着优雅的步伐,呈现女子的柔美。最后由装饰着大莲花、印有“真、善、忍”字样的灯笼和《转法轮》书籍模型的花车压轴。身着“法轮大法好”T恤的学员在花车中向两边的观众演示功法。观众群中不时传来“法轮大法好”的声音。

队伍到达游行的终点,经过主席台时,腰鼓队演奏《法轮大法好》,仙女队表演舞蹈“欢庆大法日”。精彩的表演吸引观众们争相拍照。

今年是法轮功学员第十次参加塞班岛的美国独立日大游行。历年的庆祝活动中,法轮功队伍都受到人们的欢迎。

Saipan: Falun Gong Practitioners Participate in Independence Day Parade

By a Falun Gong Practitioner in Saipan

(Clearwisdom.net) A large Independence Day Parade was held in Saipan, the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands, on July 4, 2011. The Falun Dafa Association in Saipan participated in the parade and received warm feedback. This was the tenth time Falun Gong practitioners have participated in the Independence Day parade in Saipan. The Saipan Tribune published a picture of Falun Gong practitioners' performance in front of the parade stage as the next day's headline.

The parade started at 10:30 a.m. The Falun Dafa procession included a waist drum troupe, celestial maiden dance troupe and a float. A big banner stating “Falun Dafa” led the procession. The waist drum troupe, dressed in golden uniforms, presented a spirited drum performance and neat alignment. The resonant drums shook people's hearts and won waves of warm applause. Following a banner stating “The World Needs Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance” women Falun Gong practitioners dressed as celestial maidens performed graceful dances to beautiful music. Their heavenly costumes, bright umbrellas and gentle movements were fascinating. The float was decorated with large lotus flowers, lanterns printed with “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance” and a “Zhuan Falun” book model. Falun Gong practitioners in yellow T-shirts demonstrated their exercises on the float.

When passing the stage at the end of the parade, the waist drum troupe performed “Falun Dafa Is Great” while the celestial maiden dance troupe performed “Celebrate Dafa Day.” The spectators were fascinated and took pictures of this wonderful performance.
