SAN FRANCISCO—Hundreds of people from around the United States, Canada, and Taiwan gathered in San Francisco on November 3 to proclaim their support for the 28 million people who have quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). After marching form Union Square to Chinatown, the group held a rally to celebrate the imminent collapse of the world's last largest communist regime.
Artists from Taiwan dressed in their native costumes and performed sign language with a music background.
Rally hosts Sherry Zhang and Jimmy said people in China joined the Young Pioneers when they were little. As they grew up, they had no choice, but to join other CCP organizations. Like before the collapse of the former USSR, currently people in China, including the communist cadres, are gradually quitting the CCP.
Courageous Chinese
Qu Zheng, an Epoch Times columnist, said traditional Chinese culture teaches people to be courageous, as said in an old saying, "Rather die standing than live kneeling." Under the CCP's rule during the past several decades, the Chinese people became spineless. The 28 million withdrawals remind every Chinese how to live, Qu proclaimed.
Lan Shu, commentator from Sound of Hope Radio, thinks there are two elements that keep Western society peaceful: law and morality. In China, the CCP itself is lawless and amoral—attacking its own people to remain in power. Shu spoke of the repression inside China, and how the CCP suppresses truth, compassion, and tolerance—the core of morality, which is upheld by Falun Gong practitioners, the largest group of Chinesepersecuted by the CCP. Hence it is impossible to have a peaceful society in China unless the CCP collapses.
Helen from the Southern California Global Service Center for Quitting CCP believes those who love China should care enough to spread Wang Zhaojun's open letter. Wang, a high level CCP official, openly wrote that the most urgent issue in China right now is to stop the persecution against Falun Gong.
David Gao, co-founder and president of the Quit the CCP Service Center, said quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations is what the people want. Service centers have been gradually set up in China and many who quit the CCP are CCP officials, military officers, college students and intellectuals.
CCP Destroyed 5000 Years of Culture
Gao explained that the CCP destroyed the traditional Chinese culture that had developed through 5000 years of history. Chinese people lost their respect of nature and lost their trust in each other, which leads to natural and man-made disasters in China. China is extremely unstable. Only when people quit the CCP, can they rebuild their culture and bring peace back to China. Gao said quitting the CCP campaign is Chinese people's self-awakening movement. The recovery of Chinese people's morality and conscience will bring China a bright future.
I Will Pray for the Victims
After reading about the persecution against Falun Gong from the displays at the rally, Pedro, a passerby, wondered why media did not report any of it. As he learned the persecution is ongoing in China, he expressed that he would pray for the victims.
