Gao Dawei, chairman of the Global Service Center for Quitting Chinese Communist Party (QCCP), spoke at the rally via telephone. He noted that more and more Chinese people are realizing that the CCP is the bane of all disasters in China.
“Looking back at all that has happened in 2008, with the snow storm, flood, mine disasters, bloodshed in Tibet, Sichuan earthquake, jerry-built projects, financial disaster, and tainted milk powder incident, people have realized that the end of the CCP means a bright future for China,” said Gao.
“Today, slogans such as ‘Quit the CCP to save your life’ and ‘Quit the CCP to sustain peace’ have become common yet hopeful greetings heard among Chinese people,” Gao continued. “Many have been helping Falun Gong practitioners distribute the Nine Commentaries and urging others to quit the CCP and all its affiliated organizations. Still others have helped to set up QCCP Service Centers in their areas.”Szeto Wah, chairman of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China, believes that the number of people quitting to CCP will continue to increase daily.
“This is a trend that is contributing to the collapse of the CCP,” he stated.
Shanghai human rights lawyer Zheng Enchong announced that he would quit the CCP, using his real name.“When the Nine Commentaries were first published, I was still in Tilanqiao Prison. In September of 2005, I had been out of prison for two months, when I asked my friend to help me quit party under an assumed name. Today I am announcing my withdrawal from the Chinese Communist Young Pioneers and the Chinese Communist Youth League using my real name,” Zheng said in a prerecorded statement.
There were many speakers at the rally who thanked volunteers of the QCCP for their efforts.
After the rally, around six hundred people, with the Taiwan Tianguo Band leading the way, held various colorful banners and proceeded down the busy streets from the Chang Sha Wan playground. Many tourists and people were attracted to the magnificent sight and music of the Tianguo Band, the NTDTV flag and drum team, the Qiankun Drum Force and the Waist Drum team. Two hours later, the parade arrived at the destination Tianxing Pier, and the event ended with the bands’ performances.
