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 true nature and history of the CCP. The statements offer a rare and candid glimpse of history in the making: the Chinese people turning their backs on the Communist Party, choosing conscience over pragmatism, and peacefully ushering in a future China free of Party rule.

Ever since the Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were published, I have been expecting articles of retaliation from the CCP official newspapers and the CCP hired propagandists.

Once I even posted an article on The Independent Review challenging anyone to write an article to refute the Nine Commentaries, to earn a reward of $10,000.

The CCP official newspapers and professors from senior party schools have turned a deaf ear to this issue, as if they have never heard of the Nine Commentaries.

Nevertheless, I know, for a fact, the CCP Central office got all worked up and held many meetings with senior professors from the party schools to discuss strategies.

In the past, the CCP once published nine articles to criticize the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, historically known as the Nine Commentaries.

At that time, the CCP published the nine articles in newspapers inviting the whole country to condemn the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

But today not one of the senior professors seem to want to campaign against or write articles questioning the Nine Commentaries.

Everyday the Nine Commentaries are broadcast on satellite channels. In mainland China, Nine Commentaries DVDs can be seen everywhere.

A relative of mine once told me of an incident. After paying for his groceries at a supermarket, he found a DVD in his shopping cart. He watched it at home and it turned out to be the Nine Commentaries. He felt so happy after watching it. Every sentence says what he wanted to say from his heart.

He then wished to take this opportunity to educate police officers, so he took the DVD to the police as if to report on it.

On realizing that it referred to the Nine Commentaries, the police said, without batting their eyelids, “We have seen it. Don’t make trouble here.”

My relative said, “Why don’t you take care of this important case?”

The policeman said, “How, and where can I catch them?”

My relative said, “Then you tell me what to do?”

The police said, “You deal with it as you please. But don’t tell anyone that we said so; otherwise it will affect our bonus.”
