The first time I finished reading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, I felt that the Nine Commentaries addressed feelings that had been buried within me for a long time. It also cleared my mind.
I did not truly understand Chinese Communism before that; I had often heard the following slogans: The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) removed three big stones repressing the Chinese people; the CCP is our savior; without the CCP, there wouldn't be a new China; the loving kindness of the CCP is greater than heaven and earth; only under the leadership of the CCP, will we live a good life; and people living outside of China are suffering tremendously--
they live without happiness and have only misery. Gradually, I identified with those false declarations.
The Nine Commentaries has systematically detailed the nature of the CCP. It answered the puzzling questions I had.
1. The CCP confuses people by intertwining the identity of the nation with the identity of the party. The CCP poisons the minds of the Chinese people by stating that "loving the party equals loving the nation," and "the party is above and bigger than the nation and thus, the party is synonymous with the nation." The Nine Commentaries made me understand the relationship between the two. China is a country with more than five thousand years of culture, but the CCP has less than one hundred years of history since its inception. The CCP has controlled China for only 55 years, and it is only an organization. How can it compare to China?
2. The authoritarian CCP blocks information, and China's citizens are without freedom of speech and without information. Examples: In the past, it was illegal to listen to any broadcasts from outside of China. We could only listen to the lies on the state-controlled media. Because of those lies, I believed that people in other countries were impoverished and struggling in desolation. Now I finally understand the truth. People living in free societies are actually happy and are not like what the CCP has told us. People are equal and have freedom of speech. Citizens can criticize their president, and the president can apologize to his citizens if he makes mistakes. People have freedom to form associations, and organize parades and have demonstrations. Overseas Chinese enjoy uninhibited advances; many are successful in academia or research. Why? It is because the CCP suppresses people's minds and their behavior. Under this regime, when anyone is successful, the credit always goes to the Party.
3. The Nine Commentaries enabled me to understand the whole history of how the CCP got started, built up, and why it is failing. The CCP is a group of gangsters, who depended on fighting, murder and robbery to establish itself, and it calls itself proletarian. They claim they want to destroy the old world and establish a new heaven. The CCP is atheist, so how can it be craving for heaven? The CCP used despicable means, such as deception, to seize political power and used various political movements to control people. They know they do not have an honorable history. To force people to yield, they kill whomever they need to, labeling them anti-revolutionary, anti-party or anti-socialism to justify the means. They limit people's thinking to make people yield to their wishes, listen only to them and do whatever the Party wants them to do. Otherwise, they are denounced as anti-party and become the victims of their butcher's knife. The foundation of this regime is built on countless people's blood. Since this regime took hold of China, it has killed more people than the combined casualties of World War I and World War II.
The CCP kills people like flies without any mercy, without considering good or bad, or righteousness or evil. When they decide someone should be killed, they make up excuses. The lives of countless good people have been ruined, many families have been broken apart, many orphans have been left homeless, and many temples have been destroyed. How many of our precious cultural relics have been destroyed? Most importantly, they have destroyed the traditional moral character of the Chinese people and smashed the will of the people.
The CCP constantly carries out the class struggle and the proletarian dictatorship. They divide people into two groups, 95 percent versus five percent. The five percent of people are the target of dictatorship and face murder at any time. Those in the 95 percent have no guaranty of survival since at any time they can be labeled as part of the five percent. Therefore, everyone feels insecure and lives in constant fear.
During the 1989 students' democratic movement, students, with patriotic enthusiasm, asked only for democracy and the punishment of corrupt officials. This touched upon the Party's basic interests and thus the method of ruthless killing was employed. Using the excuse that they were rioting, the CCP used tanks to roll over students at night, and Tiananmen Square was filled with the students' blood. Those who escaped being killed were left without hope under the CCP's rule.
The means they have used to suppress Falun Gong since 1999 were even more sinister and vicious. They mobilized all government machinery, police, special agents, and state-controlled media including TV, radio, and newspapers for the campaign. They arrested practitioners, confiscated their property, and carried out illegal detention and sentencing. Their propaganda machinery fabricated a vast amount of slander. All of a sudden, black clouds covered the whole sky, and the sky seemed like it was about to collapse. The regime claimed that they would eradicate Falun Gong in three months. Based on the situation at the time, some people said it would only take three days instead of three months to make Falun Gong disappear. However, events have gone against their wishes. Six years have gone by. Falun Gong has not perished, and instead has spread all over the world. The whole world knows that Falun Dafa is good. The world needs "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance." There are people practicing Falun Gong in more than 70 countries.
Why did the CCP and Jiang Zemin want to eliminate Falun Gong by any means necessary? It is because Falun Gong cultivators embrace "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" and strive to be good people. During the five thousand years of Chinese culture, the leaders of the dynasties suppressed evil and promoted goodness. The CCP is the exception. They persecute good people. The CCP always practices deception against the people. They don't want to talk about truthfulness. They kill to maintain their one-party dictatorship and are against compassion. They always want to fight with heaven, the earth, and people; they do not want to talk about forbearance.
During the 55 years of CCP rule, traditional moral values were destroyed. People are without a sense of spiritual obligation or moral standard to govern themselves. People are insensitive, cold and detached. Morals are sliding downwards rapidly. Only Falun Dafa is a pure land, but the CCP wants to eliminate it.
The CCP thinks that bloody suppression and constant killing will enable it to maintain its one-party dictatorship. They do not understand that there is a universal law: "Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will face retribution." When people do bad things and commit crimes, they face tribulations and destruction. Gods arrange all this, and the CCP is no exception. The CCP does not believe in the existence of gods, but that does not mean that gods do not exist. The CCP is against heaven, against tradition and against the human spirit. Its end is near.
The emergence of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party is by no means an accident. It strikes the funeral bell for the CCP.
Currently, the CCP still secretly suppresses Falun Gong. TV and newspapers only report news such as "Education Movement to Maintain Advancement" and the so-called "harmonious society." We will not be confused by the false appearance and will not forget its deceitful nature. We shall not have any illusions about the CCP.
In conclusion, the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party allowed me to realize many things. Although I have already read it four times, I will continue to read it. I suggest fellow practitioners read it a few more times as well.
