(Minghui.org) As the celebrations for the Chinese New Year 2017 unfold, thousands of greetings pour in from around the world to the Minghui website. These greetings come from Falun Dafa practitioners or others who support Dafa, expressing the same heartfelt message: the very best wishes to revered Master Li Hongzhi for a Happy New Year.

In this report we present greetings from practitioners who work in the military system in China. The well-wishers include:

One greeting from practitioners and family members in the former Nanjing Military Region recalled that when they initially began practicing Dafa, they felt a bit uneasy to cultivate while wearing military uniforms. They realized later on that it was Master's arrangements: “One can cultivate wherever one is, and there are people to be saved anywhere.”

The message to Master Li continued, saying that many practitioners have been persecuted under the severe and pressured environment in the army since the persecution started in July 1999. They greeting stated, “On the path of cultivation, we once hesitated, but have never left Dafa.” They faced trials and tribulations with a smile, and have carried out their missions nobly and steadfastly.
