(Minghui.org) Bidding farewell to the year 2022, here we welcome 2023, the Year of the Rabbit. Having gone through three years of turmoil due to the COVID pandemic, more and more Chinese people have come to understand the factsabout Falun Dafa, as well as the blessings it brings to the world. 

At the special occasion of the Chinese New Year, Falun Dafa supporters from around the country are sending their warmest greetings to Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, and wishing him a Happy New Year! Many said that thanks to Dafa’s blessings and protection, they weren’t infected by COVID or only had minor symptoms after contracting the virus. 

These supporters came from all walks of life, including a police officer, a store owner, a young student and a 96-year-old retired military professor.

A resident of Dezhou City, Shandong Province wrote, “We all read the flyers from Dafa practitioners and have been reciting the auspicious phrases ‘Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good.’ We are blessed with good health and protected when the pandemic broke out in our region.” 

A resident of Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province, said, “The pandemic broke out in our area a few days ago. My parents in their 80s both developed a fever. But after reciting the blessing phrases for a day, the fever went away. My daughter and her one-year-old son also came down with COVID. My daughter recited the phrases herself and I held my grandson and recited the phrases to him. They also recovered soon after.”

The children of a practitioner in Beijing said, “Before our mother took up Dafa, she suffered from a severe heart condition, low blood pressure and knee problems. Dafa renewed her life and blessed her with good health. Now she is 82 and is still full of energy. 

“When our city was ravaged by the pandemic and people around us all tested positive for the virus, we were so touched to see Dafa practitioners still come to the street to tell people the facts. I hope people can cherish the information from them, as it will truly help them. We will always support Falun Dafa.”

The mother of a store owner in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province also practices Dafa. He said that although her mother is in her 80s, she has been enjoying good health all these years. Through his interactions with other practitioners, he sees the beauty of Dafa. As a store owner, he often spends paper currency printed with messages about Dafa and has been blessed with good business. 

Another 96-year-old retired military professor recalled, “I worked in the military my entire life. I’ve been to many places, from the north to the south. Now I’ve returned to my hometown. Although I live a comfortable life now, I deeply worry about the corruption in the military, from the central government to the local regions. Especially during the time when Jiang Zemin was in charge of the military, it’s plagued by corruption and promiscuity. The Chinese Communist Party has done too much evil and it’s not far from being eliminated by the Heaven. Everything Falun Dafa practitioners talk about is so true. I’ve quit the Communist Party and I wish Master Li a Happy New Year!” 

A high school student in Yueyang City thanked Master Li for helping him understand the true meaning of being a human and he is determined to live by Dafa’s principles of “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance.”

Another resident of Suihua City, Heilongjiang Province, wrote, “Living in the chaotic world today, as family members of Dafa practitioners, we know that Dafa’s Master comes here to save us. We have all benefitted from Dafa.”
