At an army colleague's son's wedding banquet, I happened to sit with a senior army officer. This senior officer had always been active in the political work in the army. Even after his retirement from the army, he still worked in the same field.
He had retired a few years ago. Being involved in political work for a long time, he would always find positive things to say about the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), as he was deeply poisoned by the Communist Party culture. Three years ago I had sent him the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. With a scowl on his face, he said to me very seriously, "You keep spreading this booklet everywhere. If you are caught by the police, you will probably be accused of trying to overthrow the country's regime. Since you are my former subordinate, there is no problem in giving me the booklet, but do not spread it anymore." My reply to him was, "I know you are saying this for my benefit. Please think it over again. I am also doing this for your benefit. I took the risk of being arrested in sending the booklet to you. This was for you to know the truth and see the CCP's true face. One of our ancestors has even said, 'Life's biggest shame is to be blinded and not know the truth.' Please do not be angry, and read this booklet after you go back home. After you read it, you may have different feelings and thoughts."
He put the booklet in his pocket and left. After this we would occasionally bump into each other. We would not say anything, merely smile, look at each other and pass by. Yet I could see the subtle change in his mind. He did not seem to have the same hostility and misunderstanding anymore.
Today we had the chance to sit together. I thought it was arranged. I planned to wait until he was free from talking with others in order to clarify the truth to him and talk about withdrawing from the CCP. Immediately after I had the thought, he leaned towards me and whispered in my ear gladly, "I read the booklet you gave me. I have really learned a lot. I truly now understood the true face of the CCP. We were all completely deceived and blinded by it in the past. We considered the wicked wolf as sheep and treated the evil as our family member. It was just like what you said, that I should feel ashamed to still be fooled at such an elderly age. If you have any other good materials in the future, please give them to me. I would like to read your materials. Can you forecast the trend of the CCP and how long it may live?"
I said to him, "Sir, I am really happy for you since you now understand. Regarding any trend, the Nine Commentaries has already pointed it out in the end. I thought you already knew the truth. Why don't you withdraw from the CCP and become a new person for the new century?"
The senior officer nodded and smiled, "You just said what I want to hear. Today, I officially announce that I quit the evil CCP!"
