(Minghui.org) Although the two-decade-long persecution of Falun Dafa remains unabated in China, its 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 Sichuan Province wrote, “No matter how hard it is, we have Master and the Fa with us. We will uphold our righteous thoughts and faith. We don’t acknowledge the persecution but will rise above and beyond from the suffering and eventually return to our heavenly homes with Master.”

Another practitioner detained in the Shandong Province Women’s Prison said, “No matter what tactics they use against us, they can’t shake our faith in Master and the Fa.”

A practitioner in Heilongjiang said, “Greetings, revered Master! We miss you even more during the Chinese New Year. The persecution has allowed us to see more clearly the battle between good and evil. We have no regrets walking on the path toward divinity. In the upcoming New Year, we will try our best to walk the remaining path well, despite the harsh environment.”
