Ben Chen (left) and Rocky Liao, childhood buddies who sat together in a London primary school, then lived separately in the U.K. and U.S., never to meet again for many years. Today, both are principal dancers with Shen Yun, touring the world together.

Day one of a hunger strike in front of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in London, 2001. Ben Chen’s mother is on hunger strike, front left, as a toddler looks at a picture of a baby who was killed as a result of the persecution of Falun Gong in China.

The sit-in has continued year round, rain or shine. Day and night.
