(Minghui.org) The Chinese communist regime’s persecution of Falun Dafa has been going on for 17 years and counting, yet people are continuing to be drawn to the spiritual discipline’s profound principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

Many newcomers to Falun Dafa, who picked up the practice only in recent years, have sent in their greetings to revered Master Li Hongzhi to wish him a Happy Chinese New Year. They also expressed their deep gratitude to Master Li for introducing the wonderful practice to the world.

Several of the well-wishers also shared how Falun Dafa helped them avert danger.

A woman in Kaifeng, Henan Province had a potentially terrible car accident. The car she was riding skidded on a slippery mountainous road and flipped. She, her husband, and another passenger, however, escaped unscathed.

The well-wishers also included new practitioners hailing from the following regions:
