Zhao Ziyang withdraws from the Communist Party?

I have the same surname as former General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Zhao Ziyang; perhaps we come from the same lineage 500 years ago.
After Mr. Zhao passed away on Jan. 17, his daughter Wang Yannan said he finally became free.

A couple days ago, I had a dream. It was, strangely, about Zhao’s resignation from the Chinese Communist Party. The dream was so clear that even today I still cannot really tell whether it was a dream or not.

In the dream, he wasn’t so weak as when he was in his last days, but seemed much younger than his age. I was very happy and said, “You are free finally!” He wasn’t as happy as I expected. He replied, “I didn’t really gain the freedom. If you could help, I would be truly freed. Can you please help me?”
I was extremely flattered, “Of course, but what can I do?”
“Help me publish my declaration of resignation from the Communist Party! Abolish all my past vows and promises made to the Communist Party!”

It occurred to me that the media reported that Zhao raised the issue of withdrawing from the party two times during his house arrest. I asked him: “Didn’t you request to withdraw from the party already?”

“At that time I had to wait for the party’s permission to resign, now it is my declaration of withdrawal from the party—it is breaking with the CCP completely. These two things are fundamentally different.”
“How do you see them differently?”

”I found that people around me are branded with the mark of the beast on their foreheads, and the mark disappears when someone helps them publish a declaration of withdrawal. Now my forehead is still branded with the mark! My daughter said I am free, but seen from this dimension I am not truly freed, but still belong to the Communist Party!”

“I will help you do it for sure … but how come you think of asking me?”
“I know that what you have promised to do, you will try your best to do.” he said with a smile.
“Why didn’t you ask your children to do so?”
“They have practical difficulties. But when they hear this message, they will know what to do.”
