Selected Tuidang Statements, June 12

Editor’s note: The Epoch Times here 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, 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: the Chinese people turning their backs on the Communist Party and, choosing conscience over convenience, 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 June 12, 2012. 

We Chinese are Fooled by the Party

A while ago, through a microblog, I received a link to the inside stories about Bo Xilai. Out of curiosity, I went to the website and clicked on the compressed file. I found various inside information about the communist party. In the beginning I was skeptical, but as I kept reading I knew this was the truth. I feel this is fate, and I am very fortunate to now know the truth. At the same time I feel a little troubled knowing that many fellow Chinese are still deceived and fooled by the communist party. I realize I must help as many people as possible to learn the truth and get away from this evil party. I hereby announce that today I quit all the CCP’s organizations!

Policeman With a Conscience

I hereby solemnly announce that I quit the CCP, Youth League, Young Pioneers, and all organizations affiliated with the CCP. I am a policeman, but I still have a conscience and I can tell right from wrong. 

The Falun Dafa practitioners I have come in contact with are very good people. After their unceasing kind persuasion, I decided to take my first step, quitting this evil communist party. As soon as I made this decision I felt joyful and reborn. I am grateful to the Falun Gong practitioners.

I Withdraw from the CCP

I hope dawn comes soon for China so that everyone can enjoy freedom of speech and the freedom to do what he or she wants. Everyone makes his or her own choice. I hereby announce that I quit all of the CCP’s organizations!

I Thought Joining the CCP was Only Symbolic

By having them join the party, the communist party has exploited Chinese people to secure its own rule. Today I understand the importance of making the three withdrawals after listening to the advice of a compassionate man. Now I make my statement on The Epoch Times’ website to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Being the youth of a new era, we should recognize the CCP’s evil nature and try hard to rid ourselves of the bondage of communist party culture.

I Want to Quit

I have been honest and hardworking, hoping to join the communist party and to eventually get promoted. Finally I was allowed to join the party. But my dream of promotion was unrealized. Under communism, those who are capable are ignored, whereas those who are mediocre are promoted. It’s impossible to get promoted without bribery or family connections to the CCP. I was totally disappointed by the communist party’s corruption, and I no longer believe in it. I want to quit the communist party that I worked so hard to join.

’89 Tiananmen Soldier

As a soldier I was sent to Tiananmen Square in 1989, but I did not shoot anyone during the July 4 Massacre. I was compelled to join the Young Pioneers when I was a kid. In order to begin a new life, I announce that I quit from all the CCP’s affiliated organizations.

Compelled to Join the CCP’s Youth Organizations

Misled by my schoolteachers, I was compelled to join the Young Pioneers and Youth League. After my family explained the truth in great detail, I now understand the CCP’s brutality, violence, absurdness, and shamelessness. Now I solemnly declare: I quit communist Youth League and Young Pioneers. I discard the belief of atheism and reclaim my true heritage. I will follow the righteousness and conscience that always belonged to the Chinese people and become a traditional Chinese.

Compelled to Join by my Work Unit

I was compelled to join the communist party by my work unit. I told the party secretary at my workplace that I wanted to withdraw from the party. But he kept repeating the usual CCP propaganda and told me to cherish my political career. I know that the secretary meant well, but does not understand the true, evil nature of the party. I also realize that openly withdrawing from the CCP may make things difficult, and I may even be persecuted. Please forgive my cowardice for using a pseudonym, but I am determined to quit the communist party. I am a man of righteousness, but was unable to resist joining the evil regime. I have been longing to go abroad, but don’t know how. It has been my dream to escape from this vicious environment. I will do my best to realize my dream.

The CCP Destroys People’s Upright Nature 

The relationship between people in China is very bad because the CCP advocates class struggle. They are rogues who specialize in lying, deceiving, suppressing and torturing innocent citizens. I firmly draw a line between myself and the evil communist party and quit from the Youth League and Young Pioneers.

The CCP Only Serves Itself

It is an undeniable fact that the communist party does not serve the people at all; it only represents the interests of the party officials and bureaucrats. I want to withdraw from this evil, authoritarian party.

Statement of Three Withdrawals

I was born into a society ruled by the evil communist party. I was deeply poisoned by this evil party’s lies and therefore lost my human nature and the code of ethics that every human being should possess. I hereby draw a line between myself and the communist party and withdraw from the CCP, Youth League, and Young Pioneers.

I Want to Be a True Chinese Again 

I am from Mainland China. I’ve listened to my relatives and read many materials that expose the truth about the CCP. I am disgusted by the despicable and shameless crimes committed by the communist party. Now I swear to God that I want to quit CCP’s Youth League and Young Pioneers. I want to be a true Chinese again. May God bless me!

We know the wicked Communist Party has gone to the extreme with its evilness. A bad life comes to a bad ending, and we do not want to perish with the party. We announce our withdrawals from the evil communist party’s Youth League and Young Pioneers.
