I am a Christian, but I don't attend the "Three-Self Churches" that are controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I am a home church member instead, and have experienced and learned about the CCP's persecution of religion. Some years ago, I had grown tired of the environment in Mainland China under the CCP's rule, so I tried to go overseas. I knew many countries of the world treat the Communist Party as Nazis; had I not quit the Party, I might not have gotten a visa. So I withdrew my CCP membership and resigned from my job.

Now, after hearing the truth about the evil Party's persecution of Falun Gong, I've come to a deeper understanding of the evil nature of the Party. So I would like to repeat my announcement to withdraw the Party. I hope other people will also awaken and quit the CCP for their own safe-keeping.
