2. [China] Falun Dafa Practitioner Living in the Mountains Sends Teacher His Greetings
A Falun Dafa practitioner delivered Falun Gong materials to a fellow practitioner living in the mountains who has lost contact with other practitioners. Upon receiving the new materials, he eagerly asked about Teacher and wanted the practitioner to relay his greetings. The practitioner who delivered the documents promised to do so, and shared the thoughts that we all need to cultivate diligently to live up to Teacher's teachings.
The practitioners in the mountains had thought they would be able to meet Teacher often. They live a quiet farming life in the mountains. After sunset, they travel the rocky, tortuous paths to deliver copies of Falun Gong truth materials to villagers near and far. Rarely, often not even once a year, do many of them come out of the mountains. They want to stay far away from the rest of the world and asked us to convey their best wishes to Teacher.

Visitors have to carry authorizations approved by all levels of government or be accompanied by government officials or heads of police departments. All other visitors will be detained and sent back by government agencies or police departments. During the height of SARS alert, authorities in the Baoding area have also issued documents to enforce family planning. Population statistics are being gathered in each of the communities. Each family has to report all members in the family. Courts and police departments are also involved in supervising this project. Residential quarters have gates guarded 24 hours a day. Signs have been posted denying outsiders entry to the residential quarters. We remind all Falun Dafa practitioners, especially those who have been forced to leave home and are traveling from place to place, that we must bear righteous thoughts, carry out righteous actions, and eliminate the old forces arrangements.
