Chinese People: ‘We are Grateful to The Epoch Times for this Platform’

A selection of “Tuidang” (quitting the Party) statements made by Chinese nationals on Oct. 15–17, 2012.

The Chinese characters say 'Renounce the Chinese Communist Party.' The Epoch Times

Editor’s note: The Epoch Times publishes here direct translations of statements made by Chinese people who renounced the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliate youth organizations. Statements such as these are submitted to the Chinese language 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. Chinese people are turning their backs on the Communist Party, choosing conscience over convenience, and are peacefully ushering in a future China, free of Party rule.

The following is a selection of “Tuidang” (quitting the Party) statements made by Chinese nationals on Oct. 15–17, 2012.

Quitting the Chinese Young Pioneers

I moved to Canada when I was a child, but I had already joined the Chinese Young Pioneers when I was in China. I was horrified when I heard that the CCP harvests organs from people while they are still alive. I want to quit the Young Pioneers and clearly separate myself from this rotten and degenerate CCP empire to save myself from going down with it.
