(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners, local residents, and democracy activists in Calgary, Canada rallied in front of the Chinese Consulate on April 19, 2015 to celebrate that 200 million people have renounced their memberships in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations.
They unfolded banners stating “200 Million Renounced the CCP,” “Nine Commentaries Leading to Collapse of Regime in China,” and “Quitting the CCP Is Patriotic.” Some spectators who saw the rally chose to quit the Party on the spot.
Rally in front of the Chinese Consulate
“The CCP Is Doomed”
Mr. Jeff Yang, the organizer of the rally, said in his speech that the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party triggered a tide of withdrawals from the Party. He noted that more people are seeing the evil nature of the Party, and that the CCP is doomed.
Mr. Yang said, “We are celebrating the 200 million people who have renounced the CCP. We cheer for their courage. More and more Chinese are casting away the Party. It indicates the people's choice. Let's remember today. The day of CCP's collapse won't be far.”
Mr. Tang Banruo, a democracy activist, said, “The Chinese used to be too afraid to say anything negative about the CCP. But they're stepping out to testify to the CCP's atrocities. For examples, more human right lawyers in China are defending prisoners of conscience. One more person awakened means one more hope. The CCP will collapse soon.”
“Falun Gong Practitioners Are Doing a Marvelous Deed!”
Mr. Paul Zheng expresses gratitude to Falun Gong practitioners.
Mr. Paul Zheng from the China Association for Promoting Democracy in Calgary gave a speech and expressed his gratitude to Falun Gong practitioners, especially their persistent work in raising awareness of the persecution of Falun Gong in China and helping people quit the CCP.
He said, “I would like thank all Falun Gong practitioners. They never stopped exposing the CCP's crimes in the past ten-plus years. Their work made it possible for people around the world to see the true nature of the CCP. They are doing a marvelous deed!”
“More and More Chinese Have Learned the Truth”
Ms. Zhuo, a volunteer at the Global Service Center for Quitting the Chinese Communist Party, makes phone calls to China every day to help people quit the Party. She said more and more Chinese have learned the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution. She says that since they've lived under communism and know the atrocities the Party has committed, many Chinese choose to quit the Party without her saying much.
Ms. Huang Jinling speaks at the rally.
Ms. Huang Jinling, another volunteer, recounted how her daughter, Chen Yinghua, had personally suffered under the persecution for more than ten years, including spending four years in prison simply for practicing Falun Gong. She also witnessed many Chinese who used to be afraid but now help tell others about the persecution.
