(Minghui.org) May 13, 2019 marks the 20th World Falun Dafa Day as well as the 27th anniversary of Falun Dafa’s introduction to the public. With five sets of easy-to-learn exercises and the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, it is well received in over 100 nations across six continents.

While distributing the newspaper, these practitioners received positive feedback from local residents. Some want to thank the newspaper and practitioners, while some wished Master Li well. While commending the newspaper and the traditional values it brings to society, one reader wrote, “This world counts on you, and you are the only hope for mankind.”

Greetings from the Sound of Hope radio station

Practitioners working at the Sound of Hope radio station thank Master Li for introducing Falun Dafa to the public on May 13, 1992. Its health and spiritual benefits have attracted about 100 million people, whose faith has been challenged during the harsh persecution in China since 1999.

“Sound of Hope was launched in 2003, starting from a home-based firm to an international news outlet that we see today. We know it was made possible because of Master, and we are very thankful for the all the caring and support from you along the way,” the practitioners wrote.

Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance show us the way,unwavering our determination in one score years of rainstorm;While the Communist Party continues to hold the innocent as prey,brutality is condemned around the globe with more informed.

Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance shape the future,guiding practitioners toward uprightness away from sorrow;Witnessing the righteous belief and the innocent tortured,people join efforts supporting the upright for a better tomorrow.
