(Minghui.org) A rally was held in front of the Chinese Embassy in Vancouver on August 21, 2022, to celebrate 400 million Chinese people quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its two youth organizations, the Youth League and the Young Pioneers.
Practitioners at the rally held banner after banner, spanning hundreds of feet down the entire block. The drivers of passing cars sounded their horns in support, one after another. Some people wound down their car windows to wave to the rally participants or give them a thumbs up.
A rally to celebrate 400 million people quitting the CCP organizations in front of the Chinese Embassy in Vancouver on August 21
Banners stretch into the distance at the rally in front of the Chinese embassy in Vancouver.
The messages on the banners, in Chinese and English, read, “Support the 400 Million Courageous People Who Quit the Evil CCP,” “Be True Descendants of China Instead of Marxism,” “Falun Gong Practitioners Killed for Organs in China,” and more.
On the opposite side of the road, around a dozen cars displayed signs on their roofs with messages such as “Loving the Party Is Not Equivalent to Loving China.”
Ms. Wang, a volunteer from the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP, delivers a speech at the rally.
Ms. Wang, a representative from the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP, was one of the rally speakers.
“The CCP has always tightly blocked and suppressed the truth. While making truth-clarifying calls, many volunteers have often heard people in China say that their phones were being monitored and thus they did not even dare to listen. Some would say that they dared not quit the CCP. It is under such a tightly sealed and cruelly suppressed state that 400 million Chinese people have managed to quit the CCP and its youth organizations. This is really a miracle in the human world. Quitting of the CCP and its youth organizations is the process of the peaceful disintegration of the CCP,” she said.
“We will try even harder to help more Chinese people awaken and save themselves, help the people of the world recognize the dangers of the CCP demon cult, and welcome the new humankind that is free from the influence of the CCP’s specter.”
Democracy activist Zhu Chuanhe delivers his speech during the rally
During his speech at the rally, democracy activist Zhu Chuanhe said, “I thank Master Li Hongzhi from the bottom of my heart for being able to awaken 400 million of our fellow Chinese people to quit the CCP and its youth organizations. This is really an amazing feat.
“Since the founding of the CCP, it has used lies, deceit, and violence to rule China and bring danger to the Chinese people,” he said. “Master Li Hongzhi abides by Heaven’s will and tells everyone the most fundamental characteristics of our universe, Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, which help us to lead stable lives on this Earth as a person and a society. However, the CCP is the direct opposite.”
Mr. Zhu called for people everywhere to recognize the evil nature of the CCP. “I express my deepest gratitude to every Falun Dafa cultivator for all the efforts that they have put into awakening 400 million Chinese people and helping them quit the CCP and its youth organizations,
“Today is a great historic moment. Every Falun Dafa practitioner that came today is a person with compassionate thoughts.”

Ms. Zhen, 63, is a Hong Kong activist who escaped Hong Kong to avoid being persecuted by the CCP. When she heard that Falun Gong practitioners were holding a rally to celebrate Chinese people quitting the CCP, she expressed her wish to participate.
Ms. Zhen said that she is very happy to see that 400 million Chinese people have already quit the CCP and its youth organizations. She hoped that everyone would be more courageous and unafraid like the Falun Dafa practitioners who stand up and resist the CCP.
Ms. Han Yanjing, a member of the Alliance of the Guard of Canadian Values, speaking at the rally
Ms. Han Yanjing is a member of the Alliance of the Guard of Canadian Values. Her mother-in-law was persecuted because of her belief in Falun Dafa, and their whole family was implicated by the CCP. Ms. Han was also persecuted because of her belief in Christianity and her participation in house churches. She was afraid to live in China. After coming to Canada, she discovered that infiltration by the CCP is also eroding Canada’s freedoms. She called on the Canadian government to reject the evil CCP.
She said, “No person nor organizations should bring the CCP’s inhumane ideology into this clean land [Canada]. [We must] Let more people in Canada become aware of the CCP’s evil nature.”
Linda is originally from Jinan in China’s Shandong Province. She immigrated to Canada three years ago. She said that when she was still in China she knew that Falun Dafa was good, but she did not dare to practice it. After coming to Canada, she saw how free it is and that people can openly cultivate Falun Dafa, so she does not want to return to China.
