"Please publish a statement withdrawing from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for me as soon as possible!"
Two former colleagues of mine came to my work unit to take care of some business. One of them, Laoli, was a CCP member. I had tried to persuade him to quit the CCP twice before, but he always remained noncommittal. The other was Xiaoliu, who was a member of the Young Chinese Communist Pioneers League. Recently I gave him a CD, but he didn't have time to view it because he has been busy with work.
During our business meeting, I seized the opportunity to persuade Laoli, but he still smiled and didn't respond. When he was going to leave after finishing his business, I again caught up with him and reminded him, "Laoli, make sure you give it some thought. It is very important. If you reach a decision, I can publish a statement for you on the Internet with only your first name, leaving out your surname. How does that sound?" Unexpectedly, Laoli said, "Okay! Renounce it for me!" Then, I again asked Xiaoliu, who was ready to get in the car, "Xiaoliu, which CCP organization did you join? Let me also submit a renunciation for you." Xiaoliu thought about it for a second and said, "I only joined the Young Pioneers League. I'll quit, too. Please help me publish a statement as soon as you can!"
"We won't join the CCP even if we are beaten to death."
As the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party become more widely read, more and more people no longer want to associate with the CCP.
In a certain student dormitory of North China Electric Power University in Baoding City, Hebei Province, someone came to urge the students to join the CCP. The students who were familiar with the facts about the CCP said, "We won't join even if we are beaten to death. We are not going to do that just to get some material gain out of it."
Indoctrination efforts irritate even the CCP members
In accordance with directives from the CCP, a large private enterprise in Shandong Province assigned a person to make materials to "refresh" the CCP members' ideology.
The party members said that they were so busy with work every day that they had no time to deal with the new political materials. They also said that, after so many years of political movements, the ideology has become more and more convoluted. A staff member in this company, who has been a CCP member for 9 years, said that he didn't know how he joined the CCP and still doesn't know the Party charter. He also said that his party membership dues were deducted by the company from his wages and that he never paid them on his own.
A dialogue between two departmental heads
Two departments of a certain government office in Beijing held a work meeting recently. The head of one department said to his colleague in the police department, "I don't know what ideological problems the CCP is trying to solve by launching political movements one after another. Take the United States for example, they never do those ideological campaigns. They just go about their work every day, and we never hear that them suddenly becoming unpatriotic or having ideological problems."
The leader of the police department said, "This latest campaign to make all of us study ideology is taking up all of our time, and we don't even have time to get together with friends anymore. I don't know what the future will hold if we waste all of our time on stuff like this."
