WASHINGTON—Ms. Yu Zhenjie traveled from Flushing, New York, to Washington on April 4 to deliver a message to President Donald Trump. Yu did not meet Trump personally. She was one of several dozen practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual practice who gathered on Pennsylvania Avenue outside the White House in a bid to gain the president’s attention.
On April 6 and 7, Trump meets with Chinese head of state Xi Jinping at Mar-a-Lago, Florida. In preparing for this meeting, Trump would do well to spend a little time hearing Yu’s story.
