(Minghui.org) With Chinese New Year celebrations underway, many Chinese citizens remain incarcerated for refusing to renounce Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted for the past 17 years.

Many of the imprisoned Falun Dafa practitioners sent in their greetings to wish Master Li a happy Chinese New Year and vowed to fulfill their mission as Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples.

A practitioner from Tianmen City in Hubei Province wrote, “Our ordeals are nothing when compared to the joy of enabling people to understand the truth and have a bright future. We feel Master’s tender care wherever we go. Everyone we cross paths with is a life to be saved.”

Another practitioner serving time in Jiangxi Province Women’s Prison wrote, “We always remember our sacred mission to save people, no matter how much physical and psychological torture we’ve been made to suffer in prison.”

A third practitioner from Jingzhou City in Hubei Province wrote, “It was our historical wish to become a Dafa disciple. We thank Master Li for guiding us during our reincarnation and finding us in this human world. We are grateful that Dafa has been imparted to us. Even though we are imprisoned, we sense Master’s protection at all times. Master is guiding us to walk our paths well without leaving any regrets.”

The well-wishers also included practitioners from the following regions:
