(Minghui.org) Over 15,000 greetings have been received by the Minghui website wishing Mr. Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Dafa, a happy New Year, with more still arriving. Among these greetings, many have come from non-practitioners.
Although this may seem trivial to the western world, these greetings highlight the efforts of Chinese practitioners in raising awareness about Falun Dafa amid the massive hate propaganda of the communist regime, and the courage of these supporters to stand with Falun Dafa despite the harsh suppression.
Many of these supporters mentioned in their greetings how they, themselves benefited from Falun Dafa.
A family of four generations in Yangpu District, Shanghai, wished Master Li a happy New Year. One of them, a woman in her 80s, wrote, “After listening to Master Li's audio lecture, within several days several chronic illnesses that bothered me for decades were gone and even my cataracts were cured. I am so happy because now I can see my children and grandchildren so clearly.”
A young girl in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, said she had been hospitalized for aplastic anemia. “After a lady told me about Falun Dafa, I agreed with her and, following her advice, often recited 'Falun Dafa is good' and 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.'” Several days later, doctors examined her again and released her upon seeing a complete recovery. “My entire family is so happy because Falun Dafa gave me a second life. Happy New Year, Master Li!”
A resident in Fushun City, Liaoning Province, wrote that because he supported Falun Dafa, he has been blessed many times. “Once when working in the field, I fell in a ditch and a heavy tool hit my foot. But everything went back normal after three days. Another time I was using a welding torch and the backfire caused a second-degree burn on my right thumb. It recovered within one week.” Knowing such injuries usually take a longer time to heal or may cause permanent damage, he attributed his remarkable recoveries to Master Li and Falun Dafa and was very grateful.
A man in Tangshan City, Hebei Province said it took him a long time to discover the real situation behind the persecution of Falun Dafa. “Now I believe Falun Dafa is the best.” He said he wanted to tell everyone that “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” “Happy New Year to you, Master Li! I hope you can return to China soon,” he wrote.
“We work in a construction and design company and we know Falun Dafa is good,” wrote one greeting from Heilongjiang Province. “On behalf of hundreds of families, coworkers, and friends, we would like to send our sincerest wish to Master Li and hope you have a great New Year!”
Two people in a family at Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, said they learned about Falun Dafa from family members. “We have also withdrawn our memberships in the Communist Party because of the persecution. By doing so, we hope more people will cherish traditional values and goodness. We hope justice will prevail.”
