(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners and others around the world have established a tradition of sending New Year's greetings to Falun Gong founder, Master Li Hongzhi, in the days leading up to the New Year holiday. This year is certainly no exception as the screenshot below from the Chinese language Minghui website illustrates.

Click above to see all 69 pages of greetings as published on the Chinese Minghui website on December 30. Many more will follow over the next several days in this remarkable annual tribute to the founder of Falun Gong. 

Despite the risk in the face of continuing repression, practitioners in Mainland China convey their well wishes to Master Li Hongzhi in recognition of their great respect and gratitude for the countless positive changes Falun Gong has brought to their lives.  

Many non-practitioners also send greetings. “No matter where you are at the time of New Year, I sincerely wish you a Happy New Year!” So opens a poem sent in by an official in China's Henan province, dedicated to Mr. Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Gong.

This is just one of over 10,000 greetings to Master Li that the Minghui website has received.

Those sending greetings include concerned Chinese citizens who have learned that everything the Party says about Falun Gong is nothing but propaganda contrived to turn public opinion against it. They have learned that instead of the falsehoods the Party spreads, Falun Gong is in fact a peaceful spiritual practice that has endured over fourteen years of brutal persecution.

Having learned the truth, many have even chosen to renounce their memberships in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

“The Persecution Will End Soon”

In a greeting sent on behalf of everyone working in a certain company in Hebei Province, the general manager expresses his gratitude and confidence that the persecution will end soon:

“Greetings, Master Li! We are sincerely grateful for your salvation. No one is feeling secure in Mainland China; people live in terror. This is a result of the CCP's policy of atheism. People don't understand 'what goes around comes around.' They are just after money...

“Only Falun Gong practitioners are real nice people. They are so trustworthy. However, the evil CCP is persecuting this group of good people! China will not have hope unless the CCP falls apart. We believe that the persecution will end soon. Good triumphs over evil; this never fails.”

Practitioners Trigger Respect with their Noble Characters

Non-practitioners in Mainland sent this greeting card with a poem: “Great times / Glorify Dafa / Purely Kind Saints / Enlightened Beings” to wish Master Li a Happy New Year and praise those who practice Falun Dafa.

Several greeting cards indicate how practitioners display the beauty of Falun Dafa and changed the views of non-practitioner Chinese.

“I have been fooled by the CCP's lies and have hated steadfast Falun Gong cultivators. However, facts reveal to me that Falun Gong practitioners are not as the CCP propaganda describes. I have witnessed their noble characters, their smiles, and how they are always so considerate of others. Such good people are so rare in today's China!” writes a judicial staff member in Shandong province in his greeting.

A big family of four generations in Henan province says, “There are several practitioners in our family. We have seen the beauty, purity and miracles of Falun Dafa from them. All family members have benefited from their practice. We are a big family with four generations and over 30 people. We all respect Master Li Hongzhi.”

People Who Have Quit the CCP Express Sincere Appreciation

An editor at a newspaper in Shandong province sent in his greetings after he quit the CCP: “Revered Master Li, greetings! We sincerely thank you for your salvation. We have clearly seen through the nature of the CCP after reading Nine Commentaries on Communist Party ... Thank you, Master Li!”

Employees at the Shandong Steel Group who have quit the CCP wish Master Li a Happy New Year: “We are indebted to Master Li's salvation! Your compassion enabled your disciples to wake us up from a nightmare. We have been living without a purpose under the deceit of the CCP. We have lost the mentalities of normal people. Our brain has been filled with the CCP culture and full of struggles. Master Li gave us hope for a new life, gave us the traditional authentic Chinese mentalities. We are so grateful for Master Li's salvation.”

Falun Gong Practitioners Pay Respect to Their Master during Holidays

In addition to greetings from non-practitioner Chinese, Minghui has also received many greetings for Master Li Hongzhi from Falun Gong practitioners inside and outside of China. In their greetings, they have expressed their gratitude to Mr. Li as well as their resolution for a more diligent year in 2014.
