By an awakened Chinese person

(Clearwisdom.net) When I left China and stepped onto foreign soil, I felt like I had left a prison cell; like I was as free as a fish in the sea or a bird in the sky.

An old Chinese story talks about a frog that lived in the bottom of a well, happy with the world it lived in and proud of the tiny piece of sky it could see. People in China nowadays are like the frog in the well. They are brainwashed with the culture of the Chinese Communist Party and educated only on how to please the Party. They believe in atheism, "heaven and earth will destroy whoever does not look out for himself," "money is everything," and "no one will know if I don't tell." Growing up within the CCP's propaganda, lies, and culture, people accept these values as their own thoughts and also follow these "norms" in their personal lives and their careers. These values insinuate themselves into every corner of China and form a twisted system that traps all Chinese in this "well." People's brains are constantly being corroded and corrupted with these twisted values so that they don't believe in the truth or anything other than the Party. A large number of Chinese can hardly tell righteousness from wickedness or good from evil. They are numb from being shackled by the CCP culture and accept the Party's manipulation of their lives.

This is not the traditional system of education in China, a country that has 5,000 years of rich civilization to draw upon. Our ancestors had great respect for heaven and gods. "Assimilating to heaven" was how our ancestors viewed the cosmos; "rewards for good deeds and retribution for bad deeds" was accepted as common knowledge; "don't do to others what you don't want done to you" the basic virtue; "loyalty, being dutiful to parents, self-respect and righteousness" the standards for everyday life; "benevolence, justice, courtesy, wisdom, honesty" the fundamentals of morality that regulated people and society. Looking at Chinese people nowadays, have we followed these traditions? The Chinese are controlled by the CCP, pitting ourselves against each other.

Under the CCP's totalitarian rule and suppression, people chant loudly what the government says. There are no upright, outspoken officials. What is worse is that it has become routine for people to attack whoever or whatever the CCP points its finger at. There is no such thing as right and wrong. The "great leader" everyone followed during the Cultural Revolution tortured his people, and made everyone fight against and incriminate each other. No one could get out of that vicious cycle, and no one dared to think about whether it was right or not. It was right if the CCP said it was. Unexpectedly, once the Cultural Revolution was over, the CCP changed its policy, and many of those who followed the CCP's rules were dragged to remote mountains and shot. The notice sent to these people's families said that they "had died in the line of duty." Still, no one came forward to say that they were only following the CCP's rules. Were these people fooled by the CCP ?

The Chinese learned their lesson after the Cultural Revolution: be very careful no matter what you do. College students were killed by the CCP's tanks and guns in the June 4^th massacre in 1989 because they disapproved of the CCP's corruption and wanted democracy. The Chinese formed a notion in their heads again: be very, very careful whatever you do, and it's better not to do anything. There is a heavy rock pressing down on everyone's heart.

I was lucky to the leave the country--the well--and see the new world outside it. This world is so huge and beautiful. The rock on my heart was lifted. The more I saw democracy and freedom in a foreign country, the more I realized how I was just a dummy without a brain created by the CCP. I read the CCP's report saying that Falun Gong practitioners self-immolated in Tiananmen Squre and believed it without analyzing it. After I saw the slow motion video of the event, False Fire, when I was outside of China, I felt sorry for myself being so manipulated by the CCP. Wang Jindong, one of those who burned himself, was severely burned, but his hair and the plastic bottle he carried were perfectly fine. Everything seemed like an intelligence test, and I had failed miserably.

Now the world is condemning the CCP for persecuting its people and their righteous belief by removing organs from living Falun Gong practitioners to make large profits and then burning the bodies. I am convinced that the rest of the world is hostile to this communist regime: its former leader Jiang Zemin is being sued in many countries for crimes against humanity and genocide. Jiang's regime is hated by everyone. In China, CCP officials are very corrupt and degenerate and obey no laws. Problems with the underground society worsen daily, and civilians cry out in discontent all over. In 2005, an average of 240 groups protested everyday, eight times higher than ten years ago.

How long can the CCP hold on to power when its people and heaven are deserting it? High level CCP officials see that the regime will collapse soon, so their families are emigrating to foreign countries. While these officials consider foreign countries their new homes, they want their countrymen to love and embrace the wicked Party that has destroyed their own country. It all sounds ridiculous.

People instinctively wanted to save themselves. They need to know how to first! The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party appeared like a thunder in springtime and woke the Chinese from their hundred-year-long nightmare. It triggered the huge wave of quitting the CCP. Tens of thousands of people quitting the CCP is the biggest news in the world. I know that only by quitting the CCP can a person save him/herself and not go down with the CCP.

I truly hope my fellow countrymen come to their senses. Our ancestors told us to work as the opportunity arrives and obey heaven's will. They need to grasp the opportunity to quit the CCP. They need to choose their own futures rationally and think for themselves.
