Editor’s note: The Epoch Times publishes direct translations of statements made by Chinese people in renouncing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its subordinate organizations. Statements such as these are submitted to a website affiliate of the Chinese version of The Epoch Times, Dajiyuan. The movement to renounce, withdraw from, or quit the CCP, is called “Tuidang” in Chinese. It 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: the Chinese people turning their backs on the Communist Party, choosing conscience over pragmatism, and peacefully ushering in a future China, free of Party rule.
The following is a selection of edited Tuidang (“quitting the Party”) statements made by Chinese nationals on May 29, 2012.
Because of CCP Brainwashing I Joined Three CCP Organizations
I am an educator in my 70s. Because of brainwashing by the Communist Party, I joined the Communist Young Pioneers, the Youth League, and the Party. I have been through the Cultural Revolution and other political movements, and deeply understand the wickedness of the ways in which the CCP tyrannizes people. Now that I’ve heard that Heaven will destroy the CCP, and people who quit it will have a safe future, I am thus willing to quit the CCP. I hereby solemnly declare I withdraw from the Young Pioneers, the Youth League, the Party, and all of the CCP’s affiliated organizations.

I Was Among Those Who Were Involved in the June 4 Student Movement
I was among the people who were involved in cracking down on the June 4 student movement in 1989, and with my own eyes I witnessed soldiers open fire and kill the students. The government’s statement that “there were zero deaths” is simply a flagrant lie. Twenty-three years later, even though all these years have passed, those scenes are still fresh in my memory. I hereby wish to declare my withdrawal from the Communist Party and all of its affiliated organizations, including the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers.

I Am A Colonel in the Army Who Now Knows the Truth About the CCP
I am currently in the army with the rank of colonel. I recently took a trip to the south and visited some relatives on the way. Some of my relatives practice Falun Gong, and everyone in their family knows the truth about Falun Gong. They explained a lot of facts to me, showed me some videos, and other materials. This helped me understand more clearly many things. I now understand that Falun Dafa is great, and the CCP is evil. I also understand that by quitting the Party one can save oneself, so I hereby solemnly declare to withdraw from the Communist Party, the Youth League, and the Young Pioneers.
