Rally in Washington DC celebrates the second anniversary of disseminating the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, and supports 15 million Chinese people who have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations
On the afternoon of November 11, people gathered in front of the Reflecting Pool of Capitol Hill, displaying banners reading, "Wide spread of the Nine Commentaries," "Quitting CCP for One's Own Safety," "Service Center for Quitting the CCP." A steady flow of Chinese tourists took pictures of this special scene. A tourist who was with a tourist group of teachers from mainland China said that many ordinary Chinese people have received the messages on the Internet about the Nine Commentaries and quitting the CCP.
People in mainland China have recently been fond of collecting RMB (Chinese money) with the words, "Heaven will eliminate the CCP, quit the CCP for one's own safety." Quitting the CCP has become a hot topic of people in private chats. Some Chinese officials announced their withdrawal from the CCP and keep the codes for quitting the CCP [as evidence].
Mr. Yan who graduated from Fudan University in Shanghai said at the rally, "After reading the Nine Commentaries, I feel the writing is complete and precise, I've been deeply impressed, and have read it several times. The Epoch Times exposes the CCP's true nature by publishing the Nine Commentaries, and it is indeed encouraging, particularly for Chinese people. Many of them dare not speak out their minds even though they are very angry. The Epoch Times now exposes the CCP's true nature to the public, and the true situation of China is also disclosed. Many people who have been deceived are awakening."
Mr. He, who is an expert on China issues said that the CCP sustains its power by fabricating lies and creating fear. Lies mentally prevent people from stepping forward, and fear prevents people from physically stepping forward. The Nine Commentaries and quitting the CCP fundamentally resolves the two problems. The Nine Commentaries destroys the lies, helps people step forward mentally, and quitting the CCP helps people step forward in action.
Mr. Willie J.K. Chang, chairman of the Global Alliance for Democracy and Peace, Baltimore Chapter, said that 1.3 billion Chinese people have been kept under the control of the CCP, and the problem of corruption has become worse, which is also manipulated by the CCP. If the situation was left to continue this way, it will not be the blessing of the Chinese people but their disaster.
Mr. Chang called on Communist Party members with conscience to quit the CCP and let this term disappear from the Chinese history.
Brian Marple, from an International Affairs Research Institute at George Washington University, called on America to support people who have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations in China.
The editor-in-chief of The Epoch Times, Ms. Guo Jun, said that in the two years since the publication of the Nine Commentaries, there have been great changes in Chinese people. With the appearance of such a big event, as media we have the responsibility to tell the world's people what is happening in China. This is not only our responsibility but is done also from our morality and justice.
