(Minghui.org) To herald the arrival of the 2019 Chinese New Year, Falun Dafa practitioners are extending their warmest greetings to the founder of the practice, Mr. Li Hongzhi. They all wish Mr. Li a very happy new year.

Falun Dafa, known for its slow, meditative exercises and straight-forward explanation of profound principles, is celebrated by people from all walks of life. The practice was introduced to the public in May 1992. All practitioners, from company executives to blue collar workers and farmers, recount how practicing Falun Dafa helps them to be better people in their everyday lives.

Despite 20 years having passed since the Chinese communist regime ordered the nationwide persecution of Falun Gong due to its immense popularity, most practitioners persevere in their faith. They vowed in their greetings to be more diligent and to let more people know how wonderful it is.

Below is a collection of 28 greetings received from Falun Gong practitioners in China's countryside, including:
