Over one year ago, I met with a tour group from China. What surprised me a bit was that the language they used when they talked about Jiang Zemin was all from Falun Gong truth-clarification materials, including Jiang's barbaric persecution against Falun Gong, his betrayal of the country, his corruption, as well as his sexual promiscuity. One after another, the people in the tour group could almost tell the whole story.
On the other hand, when they talked about the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), they were still very confused. I think this is because at the time the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published, its effect was not yet widespread. Later I said to a friend, when the Chinese use the language from the Nine Commentaries to curse the CCP, it will truly be dissolved.
The Epoch Times recently proposed that "everyone curse the CCP." The "curse" here doesn't mean to use dirty language to condemn the CCP. It actually means to disclose the CCP's barbaric, notorious and immoral crimes. It takes courage to tell the truth in the face of tyranny, and it requires positive self-regard to treat one's own wounds to the soul.
In The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms , a Chinese classical novel, there are stories about Mi Heng cursing Cao Cao [1] while beating the drums, and Zhu Geliang [2] condemning Wang Lang to death. The Bible also recorded Jesus' curse before he was sentenced on the cross in Jerusalem. He cursed "scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!" He called those people "stupid and blind," "For you resemble white-washed graves, which outwardly appear beautiful but inwardly are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness." He also called them "snakes! Brood of vipers!" He questioned, "How will you escape being condemned to hell."
The CCP also knows that it has met with high disfavor and unpopularity, saying the average person will, "eat meat while holding bowls, and swear it (the CCP) while putting down bowls." Everyday people have cursed the CCP for many years, especially the CCP's corruption. But this kind of curse didn't truly shake the CCP's foundation. The reason is that they have been cursing the CCP from within the perspective of the Party Culture.
If the conclusions from cursing the CCP still include concepts like "the CCP must reform politically," "the CCP has its good and bad sides," "stabilization suppresses everything," or "all those problems are problems during the country's rapid growth," then this kind of cursing doesn't get to the essential point. Therefore, such cursing become unable to do anything with the current situation, and objectively allows the CCP's rule to continue.
The Epoch Times is publishing a special editorial series entitled Dissolving the Party Culture . Its public announcement specifically mentions "the CCP lies in two modes: The CCP covers up and distorts facts and it instills in people evil standards of judgment and distorted ways of reasoning".
Reading the Nine Commentaries can help us systematically understand the CCP's evil crimes, while reading Dissolving Party Culture will help us think retrospectively and correct the twisted ways of reasoning that are hammered into our heads.
Only by disclosing the CCP from perspectives outside of the Party Culture can we condemn the CCP with wisdom and rationality. This will also accelerate the collapse of the CCP.
