The Power of Great Language – the Nine Commentaries

A powerful man can lift a vessel that weighs more than a thousand pounds. An elephant can push down a house. A large fuel tanker can transport 500,000 tons of crude oil thousands of miles across the sea. An atomic bomb can destroy a city inhabited by millions. However, on Earth, in this human world, there is something more powerful than all of these– human language!

Language can motivate millions to work together toward one goal, to finish an immense project, to make 100 atomic bombs, to drive 100 large tankers, or even to move a mountain and fill in the ocean!

When Alexander the Great conquered Asia, and when Caesar conquered Europe, before every decisive battle, they gave speeches to all their officers and troops to boost morale and inspire their fighting spirits. The outcome of these battles determined the survival or demise of many countries and cultures, and ultimately, the history of humankind.

All writers, politicians, lawyers and government officials use language as their most important tool. They spend their entire lives understanding language and using language to think and express. There is an ancient Chinese saying, “Gold can be priced, while jade is priceless.” Yet, the value of language is the hardest to measure. True and precise language has boundless power and enormous value. For example, the Bible, Confucius’ The Analects, the United States’ Declaration of Independence, and speeches by Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II have all had huge, positive influences on the progress of civilization.

Conversely, vile language that instigates hatred among people can be equally influential, but overwhelmingly destructive. Such examples include Hitler’s speeches and Mao Zedong’s Selected Works. Such words are capable of making millions of people irrational, leading them to insanely destroy everything precious, and to even kill amongst themselves.

The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party is also a strong and powerful work of language, with the potential for incalculable good. With its words, which can topple a mountain and turn an ocean upside down, and by its majestic might, it has declared the end of a dark age, or at least the beginning of the process of ending it. The commentaries contain the most powerful language coming out of Mainland China in the last 55 years.

Just as Mr. Qian Sitong has pointed out, the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party illuminate how the Communist Party is akin to an evil specter that opposes mother nature and human nature — it is like a giant, evil possessing spirit, attaching to every single member and aspect of Chinese society, as closely as a shadow following an object. The CCP penetrates deeply into every capillary and cell of that society with its most invasive blood-sucking tentacles, enabling it to control and manipulate society.

Qian further points out that the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party are nine atomic bombs marking the ending of an era. It stands alongside the depth and height of heaven and true human nature and culture. It penetrates into people's souls, and it blasts away people’s sham, evil, demonic nature. It restores people’s inherent truthful, compassionate and beautiful character. Its light shines upon all the filth and monsters created by the CCP, and it makes all the communist theoreticians feel too ashamed to be out in public. Deep down in people’s hearts, it has ended the communist era that has brought so many disasters to mankind. It inspires people’s true nature, and it will certainly establish a new age of honorable people who will be stepping forward in great number.

These nine atomic bombs will completely blast away the nondescript ideology and cultural filth created and carried out by the Chinese Communist Party during the last half-dozen decades. They are sufficient to completely destroy the CCP’s ideological foundation. The Chinese people who read these nine atomic bombs are having their souls restored. The fear that fills the air in Chinese society will soon dissipate along with the disintegration of the evil specter. The people will restore the traditional, inherent harmony of Chinese society, and the concept of a totalitarian ruling party and this evil pattern of governing people will be completely erased from the Chinese land.

As Ms. Sheng Xue said, the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party is the vanquisher of the demon; it pushed aside the dense fog that once covered people’s hearts, exposed the Communist Party’s ugly, cult face and eloquently proved that the CCP will inevitably perish. Just as Mr. Luo Xifan pointed out, “Europe had the Renaissance.” The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party marks the unprecedented height of thought and cultural accomplishment of the Chinese people, both inside China and overseas … it boldly forecasts the genuine revival of Chinese traditional culture, and the moral reconstruction of China will soon start. There will once again be a significant spiritual movement [within China] that affects the whole of mankind.”

I deeply believe that the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party is the most profound and advanced summary of the Chinese people’s misery under the brutal reign of the Communist Party during the past 55 years; it will finally conclude the CCP specter’s power bloc. It has enormous, realistic implications and profound historical significance. As time goes by, its great value will certainly be acknowledged by the entire world.
