It’s been 20 years since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched a massive persecution on July 20, 1999 against the spiritual meditation practice of Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa.

On the morning of July 21, Falun Gong practitioners in Southern California met near the beach in Santa Monica to practice the set of five gentle exercises. The peaceful, meditative music could be heard by both locals and visitors, including tourists from all over the world.
