Exclusive interview with the director of “The Awakening of 400 Million”: The Road to Awakening | NTDTV | Quitting the Party | Li Jun

[The Epoch Times, November 3, 2023](Interview and report by Epoch Times reporter Xue Mingzhu) After the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” was published in November 2004, it was quickly distributed around the world, and at the same time triggered a “tide to withdraw from the Communist Party of China and the Communist Party of China” at home and abroad. “Withdrawing from the CCP is a very big thing. It is the largest peaceful, rational, and non-violent spiritual awakening movement in human history.” Director Li Jun said.

But what is the essence of withdrawing from the CCP? How did the volunteers persuade them to quit the CCP? How are the data on people who have withdrawn from the CCP calculated? Many people are questioning these issues. Director Li Jun, as an investigator, spent three years interviewing more than a dozen front-line volunteers who had retired from the Communist Party of China, as well as many experts and scholars, in the form of a documentary, trying to present this historical picture. The full name of this documentary is “Four The Awakening of Billions of People—An Investigation into the Spiritual Awakening Movement of People’s Rejection from the Communist Party of China.”

Li Jun is a member of the China Documentary Association and a national-level director. He has been engaged in television media for 30 years and has won the Golden Eagle Award, China’s highest television art award, five times and the International Golden Panda Documentary Award twice. After arriving in the United States in 2014, he produced three films The documentaries are “Live Harvesting: Ten Years’ Investigation”, “Deceiving the World” and “The Awakening of 400 Million People”. Among them, “Live Harvesting: Ten Years’ Investigation” won the “Hollywood International Independent Documentary Awards” for Best Foreign Language Documentary and Best Director.

Only the free soul can truly awaken

“Many people don’t know that quitting the Communist Party of China is of great significance. Chinese people, including people within the system, know that the Communist Party is not good and that the Communist Party is evil. However, they just can’t get rid of the ideological control of the Communist Party. Why?” Li Jun asked.

He said that the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” made it very clear because many Chinese people have sworn to the bloody flag of the CCP. When they first joined the party, regiment, and team of the CCP, they all swore to the bloody flag of the CCP. : Dedicate your life to the Communist Party of China and “fight for communism for life.” This is tantamount to selling your soul to the CCP.

Article 2 of Chapter 1 of the CCP Constitution states that members of the CCP must “work for the realization of communism throughout their lives at the expense of all personal sacrifices.”

Li Jun said: “Why should you join a political party and take this oath? Moreover, it is a poisonous oath. Anyone with faith knows that poisonous oaths are effective. Therefore, many people hate the Communist Party but cannot get rid of it.”

“The essence of withdrawing from the Communist Party of China is to erase this poisonous oath and make it void.” During the interview, almost all volunteers who quit the Communist Party of China told Li Jun that many Chinese people were sincerely happy after quitting the Communist Party of China. , joy, excitement, and even burst into tears holding the volunteers.

Pan Qingying, an Australian volunteer who quit the Communist Party of China, is over 70 years old. She insists on urging Chinese people to quit the Communist Party of China every day, and she goes there for ten hours every day.

She said to Li Jun: “Li Jun, the people crying with me are not one, not two, not a hundred, but no less than a thousand.” Li Jun couldn’t help but repeat it at that time, and also I thought I heard it wrong.

Li Jun said that after retreating from the Communist Party of China and the Communist Party of China, many Chinese people felt a sense of relief, a sense of excitement, and a feeling that they were suddenly freed from the shackles of the CCP; after getting rid of the CCP’s ideological control, they were “happy from the bottom of their hearts” “.

“It is very important to have a free soul from now on. Only such Chinese people can awaken.” Li Jun said that seeing the spiritual relief and joy that Chinese people get after quitting the Communist Party of China, many volunteers who quit the Communist Party of China like it very much. Do the work.

Li Suzhen, a volunteer who quits the Communist Party of China in Taiwan, told Li Jun why she likes to be a volunteer who quits the Communist Party of China so much. Every time after she was persuaded to quit, she saw people’s joy and touch from the bottom of their hearts, which often moved her very much. She felt, “I am really saving them.” She felt that this was a very meaningful thing to do.

Countless volunteers who have quit the Communist Party of China have persisted in persuading Chinese people to withdraw from the CCP’s party, leagues and teams for 19 years. Li Jun said that overseas volunteers who have quit the Communist Party of China are very remarkable, and even more remarkable are the volunteers who have quit the Communist Party of China in mainland China. Many volunteers who have quit the Communist Party of China have even paid the price of their lives for the sake of a better future for the Chinese people.

“Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” – the key to ending communism

In 2023, Mike Gallagher, the first chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Communist Party of China, expressed his belief that the era of the Communist Party is gone forever.

Li Jun said that now, it has become a bipartisan consensus that the CCP is the biggest enemy of the United States. Moreover, the CCP is the mastermind behind almost all terrorist organizations and evil organizations in the world. The CCP is the biggest enemy of human freedom and democracy, and it has become a global consensus.

Li Jun said that the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” played a key role in awakening the world’s democratic countries and recognizing the evil nature of the CCP. Without the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” and the movement to withdraw from the Communist Party of China and the Communist Party of China, the world might still be deceived by the CCP’s lies. With.

“Especially because the United States has been deceived by the CCP for decades and has never been able to wake up. The United States is already very dangerous. If it is deceived by the CCP for another ten to twenty years, it may really fall.” Li Jun said that the United States is the world’s most important country. Once the beacon of democracy and freedom falls, no country in the world can resist the CCP, so “the awakening of the United States is very important, and the voice of the United States is very important.”

Li Jun said that since the publication of the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party”, some key figures in American think tanks finally saw the CCP clearly through studying the Nine Commentaries. Only then did the United States know that it had to deal with the CCP, and only then did it take a series of actions.

“You said, how could Americans suddenly distinguish between the two different concepts of the CCP and China?” Li Jun said that the United States started to distinguish the CCP from the Chinese people, and Pompeo His policies and opinions come from his think tank group.

The movement to quit the Communist Party of China and the Communist Party of China is evolving into a national movement

For quite some time in the early days, all volunteers who quit the Communist Party of China were Falun Gong practitioners. Now more and more sober Chinese people, such as democrats and Chinese people who have come out, are participating in the Three Quit Movement.

Li Jun gave the example of a village party committee secretary in Hubei Province who read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party after quitting the Communist Party of China and wanted to volunteer as a volunteer; a boy from Guangzhou volunteered because his family was persecuted by the CCP after quitting the Communist Party of China. I asked my family members to withdraw from the CCP and within two or three years, I collected nearly 300 lists of people who had withdrawn from the CCP. There are quite a few such examples.

At the premiere in New York, lawyer Chen Chuangchuang, CEO of the National Committee of the China Democratic Party, said: “Falun Gong practitioners have spent more than ten years to persuade more than 400 million Chinese to renounce, and there are still one billion people in China. This Do one billion people still want them to do it? No, let’s do it together. Do we still have to watch from the sidelines? Should we do this to let the Chinese people see the CCP clearly and withdraw from it.” Li Jun said, “Wow! I was very touched after hearing this.”

Li Jun said that at premieres in various places, many people were very excited when they saw clearly the significance of withdrawing from the CCP. Many people told him: “I must come to help you and promote this matter.”

After the premiere in Los Angeles, a democrat suggested that everyone stand up and bow three times to the volunteers who quit the Communist Party of China in Mainland China to express their respect.

Li Jun said with emotion that it showed that these people really understood. They would not do this if they didn’t understand and “can’t pretend.” At that time, there were still more than 20 people who declared on the spot that they were withdrawing from the CCP party, league, and team.

Li Jun also said that if one day China moves towards a truly democratic and free society, he believes that all people who come here will be grateful to these volunteers who quit the Communist Party of China and the Communist Party of China. They have made indelible contributions to the Chinese nation and the Chinese people. contribute.

Retreating from the CCP is only the starting point for return

Li Jun said that the true culture of the Chinese people was created by the Yellow Emperor five thousand years ago. It is based on faith and respects morality. Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism have established a very stable moral system for the Chinese people and maintained The Chinese people have five thousand years of cultural heritage and social stability.

He believes that the real Chinese culture is very broad, profound and very good. Chinese culture was once the pinnacle of world civilization, and China was once a cultural power with all nations coming to visit it. But now China has become a cultural desert.

“Moreover, the Chinese people have been very brainwashed by the Communist Party. The Chinese people’s minds are full of the Communist Party’s way of thinking, the Communist Party’s ideas, and the Communist Party’s party culture.”

Li Jun also concluded that many Chinese people have been poisoned by the party culture and have four major characteristics: aggressiveness, murderousness, lying, and hooliganism. “The CCP has imposed all of these characteristics on the Chinese people. Got it on him.”

Violence is increasingly prevalent in Chinese society, and many Chinese people lie without blinking an eye. Li Jun said that only by getting rid of the party culture imposed by the CCP can the Chinese begin to return to the true traditional Chinese culture and become true Chinese. “Only then can this possibility be possible.”

Li Jun said that if the CCP’s party culture is not removed, Chinese people will always have the CCP’s party culture in their minds, and people’s thoughts and behaviors will be influenced by the CCP.

“This is a very bad thing.” He said that “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” is the first step for the Chinese nation to return to Chinese tradition.

Li Jun hopes that everyone will watch this film. The film simply and clearly explains what the CCP is, why it wants to withdraw from the CCP, and whether the wave of withdrawal from the CCP is real. “After reading it, I believe everyone will understand these issues.”

It was Falun Gong practitioners who started to withdraw from the Communist Party of China. However, today, quitting the Communist Party of China is no longer just a matter for Falun Gong practitioners.

At the end of the film, Li Jun proposed: “Everyone quits the CCP, participates together, promotes this video together, and quits the CCP together.” ◇
