Exclusive: Halloween 'Mao-mummy' Theme, Protesting Xi Jinping's Visit to the U.S.
Three activists from New York, under the name of the "Ghostbusters Trio," designed Halloween-themed costumes utilizing the images of Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping to protest Xi Jinping's visit to the United States. They discussed Mao Zedong's nickname "Mao the cured meat" and Xi Jinping's nickname Xi the Steamed Bun, criticized the rule of both figures, expressed solidarity with Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hong Kongers, and the persecuted and missing, and called for resisting the Chinese Communist Party and achieving democracy and freedom in China.

I love America, and I love American culture. In a month, it will be Halloween in America. The leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping, is visiting the United States yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and I want to satirize and mock him because he is the public enemy of all people and the public enemy of the whole world. I combined American culture with the satire of Chinese leaders to come up with this Halloween theme.
We named our action group the "Ghostbusters Trio." I am Ghost Hunter, Yi Zhang; my first name is Yi, and my last name is Zhang. This is my partner Hu Xiongyou and Hao Fangfang. Because this action fits the Halloween elements, it is called the "Halloween Action." We caught two ghosts.
The ghost on the left is the leader of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the bandit emperor, the first-generation emperor Mao Zedong. The photo you see now is a real photo taken in Yan'an in 1944, showing the true appearance of this bandit, asshole, and hooligan. I named him the devil because after he came to power in 1949, he slaughtered tens of millions of Chinese people through a series of revolutionary movements. Therefore, in my mind and in the minds of most Chinese people, he is called a devil, a bandit, and an emperor who kills and destroys the soul. He not only kills people but also seeks to completely destroy the human will.
Many Chinese people call Mao Zedong "Mao the Cured Meat" (Mao Larou) because after he died, his body was embalmed by the CCP and placed in the so-called Mao Zedong Memorial Hall. People in southern China and the Jiangzhe region seem to have the habit of making pork into cured meat and preserving it after air-drying, so many Chinese people gave Mao Zedong the nickname "Mao the Cured Meat." This is the first ghost, the devil.
On the right is the second ghost, Xi Jinping, who is currently visiting the United States. His nickname in China is "Xi the Steamed Bun" (Xi Baozi) because he visited the Qingfeng Steamed Bun Shop in Beijing, and his appearance bears a striking resemblance to a steamed bun, so Chinese people generally call him Xi the Steamed Bun. I named him the stupid ghost because he is particularly foolish, incompetent, and dictatorial. Since Xi Jinping came to power, through a series of reckless actions, he has destroyed the Chinese economy and made life miserable for the Chinese people. He is incompetent, extremely stupid, and stubborn.
After Xi Jinping came to power, he achieved lifelong rule by removing term limits for the President, so I call him an incompetent dictator. Mao Zedong was the bandit emperor, the first-generation party leader and emperor of the CCP; Xi Jinping is what I consider the last emperor of China and the last party leader of the CCP, so I call him the last emperor.
We hope that through this Halloween-themed action, we can show solidarity with all Chinese people around the world and in China who are resisting Xi Jinping and the CCP. We also hope to awaken more Chinese people to rise up and resist Xi Jinping and the CCP, ultimately achieving a free, democratic, and civilized China that integrates with Western countries and Western civilization—a true China that belongs to the Chinese people. This is my wish. I hope this wish can be realized in the next ten to twenty years, and I also hope that people all over the world and the American people can help the Chinese people rise up and overthrow the CCP.
This is my idea. We came from New York because Xi Jinping is here, so we came together to protest. We do not welcome Xi Jinping to the United States, nor do we welcome Xi Jinping. After he came to power, he amended the Chinese constitution to seek re-election; he has no effective way to govern the country, leading to the misery of the Chinese people in recent years. Everyone is living a very difficult life, and many Chinese people are suffering greatly.
We also came to show solidarity with the Uyghurs, the Tibetans, and the people of Hong Kong. We have come to a democratic country where we can speak freely, so we feel the need to raise our voices and speak for those who cannot. For people like Niu Tengyu, Gao Zhisheng, and many, many others who have been persecuted and disappeared by the Chinese Communist Party, we hope to speak up for them.
We hope that through our collective efforts, the Chinese Communist Party will step down early, and the dictator Xi Jinping will also step down early. Only in this way can Chinese people live normal lives and achieve democracy and freedom sooner. This is our wish, the wish of all democrats, and especially the wish of our Ghost-Catching Trio. Thank you.
