(Minghui.org) As World Falun Dafa Day draws near, practitioners and non-practitioners alike sent their greetings to wish revered Master Li Hongzhi a Happy Birthday and to celebrate the 26th anniversary of Falun Dafa’s public introduction.

As the practitioners have worked hard to raise awareness of the persecution, many of their family and friends have come to see how the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Dafa lacks legal basis and must be stopped.

The well-wishers also include at least 74 practitioners and their non-practitioner family members and relatives from Quzhou County, Handan City, Hebei Province. They sent in 38 greetings as a group, to wish Master a Happy Birthday and express their profound gratitude to Master for his compassion. One of them is in his 80s who wrote in his greetings, “I deeply know that cultivation is arduous and serious, but is happy, too, especially being a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple is the most fortunate.”

The well-wishers hail from the following regions:
