Selected Tuidang Statements, June 21

Editor’s note: The Epoch Times here publishes direct translations of statements made by Chinese people in renouncing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its subordinate organizations. Statements such as these are submitted to a website affiliate of the Chinese version of The Epoch Times, Dajiyuan. The movement to renounce, withdraw from, or quit the CCP, called “Tuidang” in Chinese, began in late 2004, soon after The Epoch Times published the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, an editorial series that explores the nature and history of the CCP. The statements offer a rare and candid glimpse of history in the making. The Chinese people are turning their backs on the Communist Party, choosing conscience over convenience, and peacefully ushering in a future China, free of party rule.

The following is a selection of edited Tuidang (“quitting the Party”) statements made by Chinese nationals on June 21, 2012.

I want to quit the party

I used to be a communist party member. Now, from the senior level of CCP leadership to the local level, evil is committed and the party is degenerating. I really don’t want to align myself with the corruption. Therefore, I am making this statement to quit the CCP and all the organizations connected to the communist party, and return myself to cleanliness.

I can’t stand the look of it

I was born in the 1960s. Even though I was brainwashed by the communist party for many years, in 1989 I clearly saw the evil nature of the communist party. I was in the first group of students after college entrance examinations were resumed (after the Cultural Revolution). My teacher and principal criticized me for “taking the unpaved road,” which meant focusing on academic research and not caring about politics. I never joined the Communist Youth League and the party, although when they wanted to make use of me, they encouraged me to join the party. My major concern was for my children not to live in a very terrifying society. 

This is a society where people eat people. My father is a party member and worker. He worked for the communist party all his life. When he got sick, the communist party unit didn’t care about him. When the unit was crushed down, we had no other way but to let it be. Just seeing the doctor has taken all our savings. The most unforgettable thing was that, upon my departure, he held my hand and said, “We have to pay tribute to Deng Xiaoping, who let us attend university.” My goodness, everybody hates when somebody has something and laughs at somebody when he doesn’t have it. Everybody was thinking about how to harm others. This society has been destroyed by the communist party, and cannot get back on the right track. What a disappointment! 

Even though I was not a party member or a League member, let’s reject the League to take a stand.

I declare that I quit the CCP and the Red Guards

My name is Cheng Guang, and I am an ordinary retired worker. I used to be a very pitiful person who held firm to the communist ideology and never had any doubts about it. The philosophy of life according to the communist party was that as a communist party member, I should be very proud. In my everyday life, I helped a lot of people do good things, intending to unleash the spirit of communism. 

But in several decades of my daily life and work, I saw many strange things that I did not dare to acknowledge. Local government officials were very greedy and abused their power for private gain. They cared nothing for the lives or deaths of the people. They used power to get money and get the card. Reports of corruption were like stones thrown into the sea! Of course, it’s not just a local problem. When I had the free time to watch news, I could see the truth through all channels. The Chinese Communist Party is corrupt to its core. Everybody agrees that the communist organization is the largest evil cult and sinister gang. Politicians and bandits are doing everything they can to exploit the people under the party’s tyrannical rule. 

I thereby declare that I quit the Young Pioneers, the League, the Chinese Communist Party, and the Red Guards. (During the Cultural Revolution, those who served in the Red Guards didn’t take part in the implication activities).

It exceeds the control of law and makes us feel uneasy

I would like to quit the League. I’ve witnessed the hypocritical and imprudent people under the control of the communist party. It exceeds the control of law and makes us feel uneasy. At the same time, our life has been turned into a mess!

I hope that ordinary Chinese citizens will be the masters of their fate

When I was young, I was hurt by the party’s deceptive policies. I didn’t know that the party was dark and had no conscience. I joined the party not thinking clearly. Now that I realize my mistake, I want to quit the evil party, which is permeated with lies, and at the same time, I hope that ordinary Chinese citizens will stand up and be the masters of their fate.

China won’t see a day of peace if evil party is not removed

In modern society today, corruption is everywhere and moral standards are degenerating. People’s lives are at risk, and this can all be attributed to the evil communist party. As long as the evil party is not removed, China won’t see a day of peace. I hereby officially declare that I quit the CCP’s evil party system.
