My Father Quit the CCP after Learning the Truth

By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Mainland China

(Clearwisdom.net) I have discovered that when I clarify the truth, people are usually able to accept and understand the truth about the Tiananmen Self-immolation incident (staged by Jiang Zemin and the Chinese Communist Party on January 23, 2001 to defame Falun Gong), and they understand that Dafa is spreading around the world. However, persuading them to renounce their membership in the organizations of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Communist Youth League or the Communist Young Pioneers has proved to be rather difficult. While looking inward for areas for self-improvement, I came to realize that the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" could play a vital role. Most of the time, people would not take the advice to resign from these organizations because they have not yet read those articles. Take, for example, my father, who finally quit the party after he carefully read the "Nine Commentaries."

My father voluntarily joined the CCP a long time ago. Under the influence of the evil party, his mind has been full of its theories. His worldview was the so-called "materialistic" view, in which he firmly believed that there exist no higher beings in the universe. Although he has learned the truth about the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, he continued to say, "You have your right of belief, but I don't believe what is taught in Falun Gong." One day I gave him the "Nine Commentaries" to read. He then started to reflect on the crimes the party has committed in their history, and the terrible situations in our current society. He accepted, to some extent, what the articles have exposed. As a result, we had common ground from which we could discuss the topic.

Soon, a special column was created on the epochtimes.com website entitled, "Quit the CCP." I told my father about the column. However, he thought it was meaningless. Since he doesn't believe in higher beings, it was difficult for him to understand the concept of erasing the mark of beast. I started to ponder about that barrier in his mind. Finally, I realized that he had never known that matter and mind are one and the same.

After discovering the root cause, I told my father about the pre-historic civilizations and the experiments on plants mentioned in Zhuan Falun. I also explained the concept using real-life examples. During our talk, I mentioned to him that getting rid of those ill thoughts of the evil Party is like expelling vicious matter from one's body.

Seeing my father gradually understand the issue, I brought up the topic of withdrawal from the CCP again. He said to me in a serious manner: "This is my right, please let me think it over." That night I sent forth righteous thoughts to help him get rid of the control or influence from the evil spirit of the CCP. My father gave me his alias the next afternoon and agreed to let me help him write the solemn declaration. In the end, a veteran party member broke away from the evil Party.
