(Minghui.org) The Minghui Editorial Board wishes all readers a happy Chinese New Year!
As of 1 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time on February 7 (last day of Lunar Year 2015), Minghui has received a total of 15,033 greeting cards for this occasion. More are expected to arrive in the next few days. Minghui has been publishing these cards since February 3 and will continue to do so.
A large number of greetings were received in recent years: 18,940 in 2015; 19,856 in 2014; 23,065 in 2013; 14,344 in 2012; 14,028 in 2011; and 11,007 in 2010. These practitioners, after experiencing spiritual, physical, and mental benefits from Falun Dafa, express their gratitude and wish the founder of Falun Dafa, Mr. Li Hongzhi, a happy new year.
Most of these cards came from mainland China, where tens of millions of practitioners remain determined in their belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, despite facing severe persecution for their faith over the past 17 years.
As we can see from the following cards, the Chinese communist regime's propaganda cannot cover up the truth, and its totalitarian violence fails to suppress righteous faith. Deep from these practitioners' hearts, the voice of “Falun Dafa is good” has transcended the suppression and crossed oceans.
