(Minghui.org) The Chinese communist regime’s persecution of Falun Dafa has been going on for 17 years and counting, yet people are continuing to be drawn to the spiritual discipline’s profound principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

Many newcomers to Falun Dafa, who picked up the practice only in recent years, have sent in their greetings to revered Master Li Hongzhi to wish him a Happy Chinese New Year. They also expressed their deep gratitude to Master Li for introducing the wonderful practice to the world. A new practitioner said it all: “I am fortunate to have been born in this era. Entering the door of Falun Dafa cultivation is an immeasurable glory.”

Several of the well-wishers also shared how Falun Gong returned them to health and helped them avert danger.

A Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province resident had been suffering from lung cancer for five years when a friend first introduced him to Falun Dafa. As he was declared incurable by his doctors, he agreed to give the practice a try. His symptoms lessened as soon as he began listening to Master Li’s audio teaching. He, however, attributed his improvement to his continued medical treatment and stopped listening to the audio teachings. In no time, his conditions worsened. He resumed listening to the audio teaching but stopped again when he felt better.

He eventually realized his mistake after his condition went downhill again. He made up his mind to cultivate Falun Dafa seriously. On the third day of his reading Zhuan Falun, he began to experience body purification. He used to vomit blood, but now he only spit out phlegm. Before he knew it, he was able to eat and sleep well. Witnessing his miraculous changes, his wife, daughter, and a colleague suffering from uremia also picked up the practice.

A breast cancer patient in Yutian, Hebei Province saw significant improvement even before she finished reading Zhuan Falun and learning the five sets of exercises. She, however, stopped practicing after her stepson threatened to report her to police. Even so, in the six years that followed, she never forgot to recite “Falun Dafa is good.”

Her doctors found no cancerous cells during a recent checkup. She firmly believed that Falun Dafa saved her. With the encouragement from a local practitioner, she resumed cultivation and sent in her best wishes to Master Li for a happy Chinese New Year.

A woman in Kaifeng, Henan Province had a potentially terrible car accident. The car she was riding skidded on a slippery mountainous road and flipped. She, her husband, and another passenger, however, escaped unscathed.

In addition to the above three practitioners, the well-wishers also included new practitioners hailing from the following regions:
