This painting is inspired by a photograph taken of 36 Falun Gong practitioners from all over the world who coordinated a peaceful appeal to the Chinese communist regime on Tiananmen Square on November 20, 2001. Risking their lives, the Western Falun Gong practitioners from 13 countries traveled thousands of miles to Tiananmen Square, and unfurled a banner with words in both Chinese and English, “Truth, Compassion, Tolerance”. This event has moved the entire world. The painting is a portrait of that moment. Moments after the photograph was taken, the practitioners were thrown into police vans, many were beaten and then all were expelled from China. In the picture, golden light shines everywhere. In both heaven and earth, all attention is focused on this historic moment.
2001年11月20日,中共迫害法輪功後,來自十三個國家的三十六名西人大法弟子跨越千山萬水,冒著生命危險,在天安門前打出了一面八英尺長,寫著中英文「真善忍」大橫幅,帶給世界巨大的震撼。這幅畫是當時真實的寫照。畫面上,金光萬丈,天上人間,所有的眼光都注視著這歷史上震撼人心的一刻。
