(Minghui.org) As families throughout China celebrate the 2023 Chinese New Year, many Falun Dafa practitioners are unable to gather with their families because they are imprisoned for upholding their faith. Nonetheless, they still managed to send in their greetings to Master Li, wishing him a Happy Chinese New Year.

The well-wishers included a mother and her two children and their families in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, where the mother is still illegally imprisoned for her belief. A member of her two children’s families of six practitioners wrote, “We are infinitely grateful for Master’s compassionate salvation and care. In the new year, we disciples will practice diligently and strive to do the three things well.”

One practitioner in the Linzi District of Zibo City, Shandong Province, wrote, “My younger sister, who is illegally imprisoned, and I wish revered Master a Happy New Year! Thank you, Master, for your compassionate salvation. We will let go of our human notions and attachments, fulfill our vows, and go home with Master.”

Some of the well-wishers are being held in the following prisons:
