(Minghui.org) Although the two-decades-long persecution of Falun Dafa remains unabated in China, Dafa practitioners stay firm in their faith and continue to peacefully counteract the persecution. With the arrival of the 2021 Chinese New Year, thousands of practitioners are sending their heartfelt greetings to the founder of Falun Dafa, Master Li Hongzhi, to wish him a very Happy New Year.

Among these well-wishers are practitioners incarcerated in Chinese prisons, detention centers, and brainwashing centers for their faith. Despite the information censorship, they still managed to get their messages out. They said that the persecution won’t strike them down, that they will turn the adversity into an environment to temper and improve themselves. 

A practitioner in prison wrote, “Master, you have been working hard! Thank you for your profound grace and your protection, which have given me righteous thoughts and actions, as well as strong faith! I have broken through many tribulations, and will never give in to the evil persecution. I’m determined to stay firm in my righteous thoughts, and do what a Falun Dafa disciple should do!”
