Following the rally, which included skits, songs, and impassioned speeches, the group marched through Chinatown behind the banner printed with “A Grand Parade for Freedom and Democracy in China- in support of over one million people withdrawing from the CCP.”

【讲解】像这一句唯一的动词在那儿呢?答案是marched。这句的结构是:介系词片语+形容词子句+主要子句+介系词片语+分词片语。
following= after= in the wake of。新闻英语句子之所以变得很长,多数都是名词的修饰所造成的。像这句简化起来就是Following the rally, the group marched through Chinatown behind the banner.
大家要有个概念,句子中任何名词都可作后位修饰,不仅是主词和受词。像这句的后位修饰都是用在介系词片语中的名词,the rally与the banner. 前面用了形容词子句,后面就用分词片语。因为分词片语其实就是容词子句省略掉关系代名词+ be动词所形成的。
Supporters from Romania, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Germany, and Spain joined the rally amongst others from across the globe.
来自罗马尼亚、波兰、俄罗斯、瑞典、德国与西班牙的支持者,与来自全球的其他人士,共同参与了这项盛大集会。

It was a peaceful and joyous affair, with the marchers sharing their hope for a new day in China with the merchants and locals of Chinatown.
游行者与中国城的商家和当地居民分享他们对新中国的希望,这真是一件和平而又令人喜悦的事情。
【讲解】with有随着的意思。
Following the parade, many of the marchers continued a long walk to the Chinese consulate on 42nd St. to appeal for the rights of Chinese people, and to support the mass withdrawal from the CCP.
在游行之后,许多游行者继续走很长一段路,到位于42街的中国领事馆,为中国人的人权请愿,并且声援这么大批的人们退出共产党。
