(Minghui.org) On the special occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival (September 25), many elderly Falun Dafa practitioners sent in their heartfelt greetings to wish Master Li Hongzhi a happy holiday.

These well wishers, the oldest being 97, say that they are healthy and able to take care of themselves despite their advanced ages. Many have been practicing Falun Dafa for decades. They still work hard to raise awareness of the Chinese Communist Party’s ongoing persecution of their faith.

The greetings were received from practitioners in the following regions:
