Greetings, Great Compassionate Master,

The New Year is approaching. We, the disciples in your hometown far away, with indescribable yearning, present our best wishes from the bottom of our hearts to compassionate great Master on the other shore of the ocean. We wish compassionate great Master a Happy Chinese New Year and good health.

Compassionate venerable Master, Dafa disciples in your hometown are missing you and are looking forward to seeing you.

Tears have accompanied our deep concerns, hundreds and thousands of times, blurring our eyes. Candlelight in the bottom of our hearts illuminated by your Buddha's light, were kindled tens of thousands of times...

Numerous mountains and rivers are unable to separate us from great venerable Master's infinite grace, countless difficulties and dangers failed to subdue Dafa disciples' steadfast resolve.

Thirteen years ago, Dafa was first introduced into the vast land of China. With no regard for your own pain and suffering, Venerable Master endured hardships to make an arduous journey in the human world for the safety of the great firmament, and for the grand vow of saving sentient beings, and created a piece of sky for Falun Dafa in this Divine Land.

Those who were disabled for many years threw away their crutches, those who were vocally impaired for many years spoke their minds, those who had stumbled walked on the bright road, despairing cancer patients experienced being reborn. Husbands and wives were in harmony, father and son were reunited, a new and fresh atmosphere permeated the factories, mothers-in-laws and daughters-in-laws displayed smiling faces. Falun Dafa's light illuminated the human world.

However, "Righteous Fa spreads, Hardships piled upon hardships.

Myriad demons block, Perils exist within perils. " ("Undisturbed in Tribulation", from Hong Yin) The evil ringleader who is sinister, vicious, and jealous colluded with the evil Party to attack Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and initiated a large-scale persecution campaign on July 20, 1999. Practitioners were arrested and beaten, sentenced to forced labor camps and prisons and subjected to brutal tortures. In a single night, Dafa was subjected to persecution, and Venerable Master was framed ...

Thus began a life-and-death battle between righteousness and evil, a life's choice between brightness and darkness.

"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" is not allowed to be smeared! With our vows made in ancient times--the prehistoric grand vow of saving sentient beings, with the loftiest respect toward great venerable Master, Dafa disciples in your hometown, confronted with the evil, let go of our concern for life and death, traveled to Beijing to safeguard Dafa and assisted Master in your journey in the human world. Tiananmen Square was impressed with wave upon wave of the Dafa disciples' Fa-rectification images. The sky over Tiananmen reverberated with the Dafa disciples' heartfelt concerns for validating Dafa: "Falun Dafa is Great!" "Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa!" "Restore Our Master's Reputation!" "Restore Dafa's Good Name!" The sounds shook heaven and earth, made both gods and ghosts shed tears, and cleansed the dirty haze.

How many days and nights, how many fine days after the rain, Disciples have been tempered to have a will of steel amidst tribulations. During the perils, with compassionate venerable Master's protection, we have walked through with righteous thoughts.

The evil in prisons and forced labor camps failed to wear down Dafa disciple's diamond-like determination! Six years in a harsh environment demonstrated Dafa disciples' righteousness and strength.

At present, venerable Master's footprints have been left in numerous mountains and rivers. Falun Dafa's light and brightness have illuminated the human world. Falun Dafa has been spread all over the world. Sentient beings who have been longing for such a long time have boarded the Fa boat.

Today, in the last moments of the Fa-rectification of the universe, compassionate great Master presents the sacred honor of "Enlightened beings in the human beings" in front of us. Such mighty virtue and glory displays the brilliant future of the universe...

Hereby, we--Dafa disciples of venerable Master's hometown--respectfully want venerable Master to rest assured! On the last leg of our journey in Fa-rectification, we will be more diligent, strengthen our Fa-study, strive to do well the three things, take the Fa as Teacher, strive forward diligently and solidly cultivate, walk righteously our path of Fa-rectification while disintegrating all the old forces, remain diligent when we get close to the end on the path to Divinity, fulfill our historic mission of saving sentient beings, and follow great venerable Master to return to our true home.

Heshi, Dafa disciples in Master's hometown
