(Minghui.org) Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Gong in July 1999, practitioners both inside and outside of China have been working hard to raise awareness of the persecution. As part of their truth-clarification efforts, Falun Gong practitioners outside of China have also been calling people in China, urging them to withdraw from the CCP and its two junior organizations (Youth League and Young Pioneers). Many people have severed ties with the CCP thanks to such phone calls. Below are several recent stories.
Wang, a police officer in Beijing, received a phone call in October this year from Ms. Li, a volunteer at the Quitting the CCP Hotline in Toronto, Canada.
Ms. Li said that over 400 million Chinese people, including high-ranking officials, have quit the CCP and its two junior organizations. She urged Wang to do the same upon learning that he was a CCP member.
“How about you use the pseudonym of jin fu (golden blessing) to quit the CCP?” Ms. Li asked.
Wang provided his real name and asked Ms. Li to use it to help him quit the CCP.
As they continued chatting, Ms. Li asked if there were other staff members in Wang’s office.
“Yes, there is an officer who has applied to join the Party, but is still waiting to be approved,” he replied.
Wang then checked with that officer, who agreed to quit the CCP’s junior associations of Youth League and Young Pioneers.
Ms. Li thanked Wang for helping his coworker and said, “I will also give you the hotline number. We have volunteers on duty 24 hours a day to answer phone calls about quitting the CCP.”
As Wang was writing down the number, Ms. Li said many people had suffered at the hands of the CCP during its numerous political campaigns. “It means a lot to other people if they could hear such information too,” she continued. “In fact, you can also help Falun Gong practitioners such as notifying them [to escape] before the illegal arrest.”
“Sure. If there are any actions planned against Falun Gong practitioners, I will let them know,” he said, “Plus, here is my cell phone number and any practitioner can contact me through it. Human lives are important and I will do my best to protect practitioners.”
Seeing Wang willing to talk more, Ms. Li told him how Falun Gong is well-received in over 100 countries and is suppressed only in China.
“Where can I find Falun Gong books?” Wang asked.
Ms. Li told him how to use software to overcome the internet blockade and read Falun Gong information free of charge. Wang happily thanked her.
On a different occasion, Ms. Li called another police officer. He said, “I am working in the police department and we have three of us here on duty.”
Ms. Li greeted them and said she would like to share some information that the officers may not know. The Ministry of Public Security issued No. 39 document in 2005, listing 14 cult systems, none of which was Falun Gong.
“In fact, former CCP leader Jiang Zemin suppressed Falun Gong out of his own jealousy. Falun Gong is wronged,” she explained.
“Let’s record this [conversation,]” one officer suggested.
“Yes, please. This way more people can hear it and know what is going on,” Ms. Li replied.
After the recording started, Ms. Li continued saying the persecution has no legal basis. The 610 Office that implements the persecution policy is an extrajudicial and extralegal entity similar to the Central Cultural Revolution Group. “The central government has said they’ll now hold officials responsible for all the misdeeds they had in their last 20 years in office. That means when the persecution of Falun Gong is investigated someday, you could be held accountable, even if you think you are just following an order now,” she said.
“Yes, there are also many people in our families [who could be affected],” one officer added.
Ms. Li agreed. “Yes, we need to take good care of our family members. Look back at the Cultural Revolution. The Beijing police chief, Liu Chuanxin, committed suicide right after the Cultural Revolution ended – because he knew his family and many officials would be investigated.”
She then mentioned the book the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. After its publication in 2004, over 400 million people have quit the CCP organizations, including high-ranking officials.
Ms. Li also shared information on how to overcome the internet blockade to access uncensored information. She also said 25 professors in the Central Party School have renounced membership in the CCP organizations too.
In the end, all three police officers on duty agreed to withdraw from the CCP associations.
During a government meeting in one county of Hunan Province, the phone in the conference room rang. As one official picked up the phone, the other side said, “How are you? This is Zhang and I am calling from Canada. Are you interested in information on remaining safe in the pandemic?”
“Of course,” the official answered.
Ms. Zhang was a volunteer at the Quitting the CCP Hotline. She said that wave after wave of political campaigns in China has claimed numerous innocent lives since the CCP took power in 1949, which is why a large number of Chinese people have chosen to sever ties with the CCP in recent years.
Noticing the official was silent, Ms. Zhang paused talking after a few minutes and asked, “Hope what I said makes sense to you. Would you like to quit the Party with the pseudonym of wan shun (everything is smooth and successful)?”
He agreed.
From there, Ms. Zhang talked about how the CCP had fabricated evidence to defame Falun Gong, such as staging the self-immolation incident on Tiananmen Square. She gave a few examples of the CCP’s hate propaganda and clarified the truth.
“Are you still there? Are we still connected?” Ms. Zhang asked after several minutes.“Yes, I am here and I can hear you loud and clear,” said the official.
Ms. Zhang continued talking, from the torture of Falun Gong practitioners in custody to forced organ harvesting by the CCP, from how the Roman Empire fell following religious persecution to the current movement of quitting the CCP. She also mentioned stories of people receiving blessings after reciting “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
The other end of the line remained silent. Ms. Zhang asked, “Are you by yourself or with someone?”
“This is a conference room and there are many people here – they are all listening,” the official said. “They have not quit the CCP yet.”
Ms. Zhang continued chatting with them. After the 66-minute phone call was over, 19 officials in total quit the CCP organizations, including 8 CCP members as well as 11 members of the Youth League and Young Pioneers.
“Please keep in mind ‘Falun Dafa is good’ and ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’, and you will be blessed,” Ms. Zhang said before hanging up the phone.
“Yes, thank you!” replied the officials.
