Greetings A Falun Dafa practitioner delivered Falun Gong materials to a fellow
practitioner living in the mountains who has lost contact with other
practitioners. Upon receiving the new materials, he eagerly asked about Teacher
and wanted the practitioner to relay his greetings. The practitioner who
delivered the documents promised to do so, and shared the thoughts that we all
need to cultivate diligently to live up to Teacher's teachings. The practitioners in the mountains had thought they would be able to meet
Teacher often. They live a quiet farming life in the mountains. After sunset,
they travel the rocky, tortuous paths to deliver copies of Falun Gong truth
materials to villagers near and far. Rarely, often not even once a year, do many
of them come out of the mountains. They want to stay far away from the rest of
the world and asked us to convey their best wishes to Teacher. 3. [Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province] Prior to the 16th Party's

a full set of the necessary paperwork. Visitors have to carry authorizations
approved by all levels of government or be accompanied by government officials
or heads of police departments. All other visitors will be detained and sent
back by government agencies or police departments. During the height of SARS
alert, authorities in the Baoding area have also issued documents to enforce

communities. Each family has to report all members in the family. Courts and
police departments are also involved in supervising this project. Residential
quarters have gates guarded 24 hours a day. Signs have been posted denying
outsiders entry to the residential quarters. We remind all Falun Dafa
practitioners, especially those who have been forced to leave home and are
traveling from place to place, that we must bear righteous thoughts, carry out
righteous actions, and eliminate the old forces arrangements. In addition, Falun Dafa practitioners in Xiong County in Baoding area have
