Editor’s note: The Epoch Times publishes here direct translations of statements made by Chinese people who have renounced the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliate youth organizations. Statements such as these are submitted to the Chinese language Epoch Times, Dajiyuan. The movement to renounce, withdraw from, or quit the CCP, called “Tuidang” in Chinese, began in late 2004, soon after The Epoch Times published the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party,” an editorial series that explores the nature and history of the CCP. These statements offer a rare and candid glimpse of history in the making. Chinese people are turning their backs on the Communist Party, choosing conscience over convenience, and peacefully ushering in a future China, free of Party rule.
The following is a selection of “Tuidang” (Quitting the Party) statements made by Chinese nationals on May. 6-8, 2013.
Quit the Chinese Communist Party and All Its Affiliates
We not only have to quit the CCP and all of its affiliates, we have to subvert it, bury it, disintegrate it, and eliminate it. The evil Party should not exist on Earth. The day the Chinese people wake up is the day it ends.Sun Gaiwei, Sun Jinmin, Zhou Chun

Quit the Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers
Everyone in China is waiting for the CCP to be destroyed; we just do not know how to do it. We have long wanted to quit the Party because it is an evil thing. We solemnly declare to quit the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers.Li Xiaofang, Yang Zaisheng, Wang Shuntian, and three others

Quit the CCP and Its Affiliates
After we learned about the evil nature of the CCP, we were angry. We have been deceived by the Party for so many years; now we are determined to quit the CCP and its affiliates. We want to have nothing to do with it.Li Fangrong and Yang Rui

Quit the Young Pioneers and Youth League
The CCP did too many bad things throughout its existence and harmed many. It does not care whatsoever for the people and only cares about its own interests. I now solemnly declare that I quit the Young Pioneers and I am no longer part of that evil thing.Xu Zhili

Quit the Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers
In China, everyone understands the CCP’s deceptive tricks. Everything on the TV and radio is a lie to blind the people. I am happy that I learned what the Party really is. Here I declare to quit the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers.Jiejing

Quit the CCP, Youth League, and Young Pioneers
I served in the military narcotics division in Yunnan for nine years. I hurt a drug abuser when I was on a case because he verbally abused me, resulting in a four-year prison sentence for me. I protested when I was tortured in prison causing me to be removed from the Party. Once, when I was on duty in Harbin, I force-fed Falun Dafa practitioners who were on hunger strikes. I held them down while the doctors force-fed them. They were all good people who practiced Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and the evil CCP brutally tortured these people. I now declare that I quit the Party and its affiliates.Awakening

I am a policeman and I believe in the existence of gods. I believe that good is rewarded and evil is punished. I want to quit the CCP and its affiliates.Forever Believe in God

Seeing the Real Evil Face of the CCP
The corruption of the communist officials, the brutality of the regime, the suppression and slaughtering of the people–all have made me see the real evil face of the CCP. Before gods eliminate the CCP, I solemnly declare that I want to quit all the Party organizations I have ever joined, so I can stay safe.Ji Fuquan, Beijing, China

Quit the CCP
I worked in Beijing before and knew clearly how Faun Gong practitioners were tortured in prison. A friend of mine told me how brutal the prison guards were toward the practitioners. Regardless, those practitioners remained peaceful and kind. I was very touched. I went to Frankfurt, Germany, and heard the truth of the persecution from the local practitioners. I decided to quit the CCP.Zhao Shanyuan

Statement
I have resented the current society for a long time. People are not allowed to speak up and must only obey orders; the CCP decides everything. Yet the Party still claims its policies conform to people’s wishes. The CCP won’t last long and I want to quit it.Li Qiwei

Quit the Youth League and Young Pioneers
I did not understand why I needed to state that I quit the CCP’s affiliates when I no longer pay the fees or participate in the Youth League, until after I talked to a Falun Gong practitioner. This formality is very necessary. One must be responsible for the things one did in one’s life, especially the things one swore on with one’s life. Now I realize that and I must make a choice for myself, so I won’t hesitate. I quit the Youth League and Young Pioneers. Liu Yuan 5-8-13, 14:15Translation by Hsin-Yi Lin.
