(Clearwisdom.net) During the Chinese New Year of 2011, minghui.ca (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net) published more than 10,000 emails and greeting cards addressed to Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, to wish Mr. Li a happy new year. A large number of them came from non-Falun Gong practitioners of all walks of life from all over China.
These well-wishers may reside in metropolitan cities or remote villages, they may be elites or part-time workers, or they may be government employees, military personnel, policemen or common civilians. They may not be Falun Gong practitioners, but they have managed to overcome the Chinese Communist regime's Internet blockade in order to express their respect, gratitude and sincere good wishes to Mr. Li Hongzhi. This is a rather unusual phenomenon while the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues to suppress Falun Gong after 11 years.
"Falun Gong is a circle of ever-lasting golden light in the dark, depraved world"
"Falun Gong is a circle of ever-lasting golden light in the dark, depraved world, illuminating the corrupted land. It is like an evergreen tree towering over the world, preventing the sky from falling upon kindhearted people. I believe that soon people will understand that Falun Gong is sacred and beautiful. People will thank you for leaving purity to mankind!" a resident of Fujin City, Heilongjiang Province says in his greeting card.
The CCP has tried just about everything to eradicate Falun Gong, but the truth cannot be concealed. Falun Gong remains as a hope to many people in China. An anonymous man has pointed out that in today's world, where morality and righteousness are forgotten, Falun Gong's principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are like a mirror that reveals righteousness as well as wickedness, and automatically bankrupts the CCP's propaganda.
An employee of a jurisdiction division in Shandong Province said in his greetings to Mr. Li Hongzhi, "Thank you, Mr. Li Hongzhi, for your compassionate salvation! Dark clouds cannot cover the sun. People are increasingly awakening [to the truth about Falun Gong]."
Some technical personnel in a navy research institute said, "You have worked hard, Master Li! In this secular world, only Falun Gong is a pure land. The CCP installed the wicked atheism in the Chinese people in its attempt to drag the Chinese people into hell with it. But it is compassionate Master Li that has given people an opportunity to choose their own future. As long as you accept the blessings of Falun Gong, you will survive and be spared of disaster. This is truly the grandest compassion from gods and Buddhas! Thank you, compassionate and magnificent Master Li!"
Sincere Gratitude from People Who Have Benefitted from Falun Gong
Because Falun Gong practitioners in China have been spreading the truth about the practice, a lot of people have realized that Falun Gong advocates morality and is a beautiful cultivation practice. As a result, a lot of Chinese people support Falun Gong. Many have been met with good fortune or recovered from illness without medical treatment after they repeatedly recited, "Falun Gong is good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" with a sincere heart. That might be the reason why they wanted to take the opportunity this Chinese New Year to thank Master Li Hongzhi.
A man from Jixian County, Heilongjiang Province wrote in his greetings, "I have witnessed the physical and moral transformation in my wife since she started practicing Falun Gong. I have benefitted from Falun Gong as well. I often recite 'Falun Gong is good.' I had a car accident, but I recovered very quickly. In fact, there is not a scar remaining on my body. I have been very healthy. My entire family is highly appreciative of Falun Gong! Thank you, Master Li!"
Mr. Li Jiaoyang and his clan of 66 people in Heilongjiang Province wrote in their joint greetings, "The many cases I have witnessed in friends and relatives around me made me realize the beauty of Falun Gong. Words cannot describe my gratitude towards you. My mother was frail and overcome with many illnesses, including coronary heart disease. She used to get mad and fainted. I remember, my mother often passed out at night and had to be sent to the hospital. It was Falun Gong that cured her. Since she started practicing Falun Gong, she has become very energetic. She is in her 60s, but she is as energetic as a young woman. My second-oldest brother used to be a trouble-maker doing nothing but fighting. After mother started practicing Falun Gong, she would often tell my brother the principles of Falun Gong and to become a better person. Now my brother is happily married with a blooming career in sales. My younger brother had a car accident, causing his skull to crack open. The hospital announced that he would not survive, but Falun Gong has given him a new lease on life. He is becoming increasingly healthy. My sister-in-law was diagnosed with cancer. After she started practicing Falun Gong, her cancer was gone without any trace remaining. Many people around me have started practicing Falun Gong since witnessing these miracles. My uncles, my oldest brother and all of my family felt the blessings from Falun Gong. I would like to express my gratitude for Teacher's mighty grace. No one could compare to you for what you have done for us. I shall become a better person from now on. Finally, I would like to say something from my heart: Falun Gong is good."
Mrs. Zhao from Chaonan, Guangdong Province wrote in the greetings, "I am very poor. My son suffers from a mental illness. Since a practitioner told me the truth about Falun Gong, I have developed the utmost respect for Master Li. I often recite 'Falun Gong is good' and often form the hand position of jieyin. My son has been cured without any medical treatment. He even built a new home. I know it was compassionate Teacher that helped him! Thank you, Master!"
In addition, many have taken the opportunity this Chinese New Year to express thanks to Master Li Hongzhi for his salvation, including three people from Enping, Guangdong Province who thanked Master Li for curing their cancer. Also expressing thanks were people whose lives were spared in earthquakes, a Chinese lady who was cured of her late-stage stomach cancer, and a man from Jiamusi who was cured after a hemorrhage.
After reciting "Falun Gong is good," many people have become healthy, have been cured of lower back pain, have been rewarded with an improved efficiency in the companies they run or have survived a stroke. Some expressed their gratitude alone, but many in groups of ten, twenty or more.
One group of 60 people sent a group greeting to Master Li Hongzhi. They had met with misfortunes that turned into nothing after they recited "Falun Gong is good." They couldn't find the words to express their gratitude, so they have been kowtowing toward the direction of the United States where Master Li resides. In their group greeting, they promise to recite "Falun Gong is good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" every day.
A man and his family from Binzhou, Hunan Province expressed their New Year's greeting to Master Li. He wrote, "I am an honest farmer. I do not practice Falun Gong, but I have been consistently telling everyone that Falun Gong is good, including people from the Public Security Bureau, the State Security, the 610 Office and everyone I get in touch with."
People Beguiled by the CCP Wish to Start Over
Over a decade of lies about Falun Gong from the CCP has deceived many Chinese people. Many who are told the truth about Falun Gong have expressed their regrets and promised to start anew, spread the truth about Falun Gong and make up for past wrongs.
A man from Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province wished Master Li a Happy New Year. He wrote, "Falun Gong practitioners have explained to me the truth about Falun Gong. In the past I made a lot of mistakes and did bad things to Falun Gong. Master Li and Falun Gong practitioners pulled me out of the depths of sin and despair and gave me a chance to start anew. As the New Year approaches, I would like to confess my regrets and wish Master Li a Happy New Year!"
A group of people from Xian'ning City wished Master Li Hongzhi Happy New Year! They wrote, "Teacher, you have worried for our future. We had misunderstandings about you, but you continued to save us at huge expense on your side. We have nothing in return to repay you with. Words cannot express our feelings. We are determined to stand by your side and to do our best to stop the persecution of the Falun Gong. As the New Year approaches, our entire family knows the truth about Falun Gong would like to wish Master a Happy New Year! You have worked hard, Master Li!"
People from the Jurisdiction Arena and the 610 Office Promised to Make up for Past Wrongs in Their New Year's Greetings
Government employees, military personnel and armed police from Panjin, Liaoning Province, as well as the 610 Office from Panjin, the CCP's branch in Panjin and the State Security Team from Panjin sent their New Year's greetings to Master Li and promised that "we will make up for past wrongs."
People from the jurisdiction system, the public security bureaus, prisons, forced labor camps and police stations from Jiangsu Province have agreed to withdraw from the CCP and/or its two affiliated student leagues. They asked to express their highest level of respect to Master Li Hongzhi and thank him for saving their lives.
A student from the Chinese criminal investigation academy wrote in his New Year's greeting to Master Li Hongzhi, "It is the time of the year to celebreate the Chinese New Year again. I would like to pay my respects to Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, and all the Falun Gong practitioners around the world. I would like to send my New Year's wishes to Master Li Hongzhi, as well as Falun Gong practitioners, a group of people with wisdom who refuse to bow to the evil. Happy New Year! More and more people have witnessed the kindness in you and re-evaluated their faith in the CCP. Falun Gong is a righteous cultivation practice. China knows Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance!"
It Is Becoming Popular Around the World to Identify with Falun Gong
As we read these heartfelt and touching letters and greetings, we truly felt the spiritual and physical transformation in these people, as well as their awakened courage to uphold morality and justice.
Many Chinese people expressed in their greetings to Teacher that they will let more people know the truth about Falun Gong. They have promised to work with Falun Gong practitioners to distribute DVDs of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. They have also promised to distribute the book and try to persuade people to quit the CCP and/or the two affiliated student leagues.
A man from Nanchong, Sichuan Province wrote, "Because of you and your disciples, I have found a direction in life. I have now persuaded many people to quit the CCP and its affiliated orgnizations. This would not suffice because it is my dream to have the CCP collapse. I would like to thank Master Li for His compassionate salvation. Thanks Teacher again for Your compassionate salvation! I would also bid you Happy New Year!"
People from Pingshan Township, Heprovince wrote, "Thank you for your education, which has forged so many Falun Gong practitoners. We will help Falun Gong practitioners to spread the truth to more people, have more people be saved and welcome the new future."
Employees from the jurisdiction system in Shandoing Province who quit the CCP and its two affiliated student leagues said, "Master Li Honghzi, rest assured that the truth cannot be concealed. One day the truth will be known and the day is not far when the wicked ones will face justice!"
A government employee from Northeastern China wrote in his greetings, "I often read facts about Falun Gong. Those at the same career level know Falun Gong practitioners are good people and those who suppress good people will not be supported. Those who persecute people who follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance must be depraved. The persecution of Falun Gong is the stupidest thing that Jiang Zemin and the CCP have done. When more and more people read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, the CCP's lies will self-destruct. The CCP's doom is near as its falseness, wickedness and conflict are known to the public. As the Chinese New Year approaches, I would like to express my New Year's greetings on behalf of those government employees who know the truth about Falun Gong! We all wish for the perecution to end soon. We all hope that Master Li will teach Falun Gong in China again."
Wishing for Master Li Hongzhi to return to China and accept these expressions of gratitude is the most urgent wish from people in China.
