Xi Jinping Faces an Unprecedented Era of Nationwide Awakening

In this program, Hu Liren discusses the era of national awakening currently unfolding in China, pointing out that not only adults and young people, but even many minors and children have begun to resist the brainwashing of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Drawing on his own upbringing, the historical experiences of his parents' generation, and the reality of rights defense (weiwen) by petitioners, the host analyzes the reasons for the failure of CCP propaganda. He also mentions that many families are choosing to avoid the state education system and establish private schools, which signifies that the ideological enlightenment of the public has risen to the level of anti-CCP sentiment.

Hello, viewers! I have some good news to share with you! Some people have told me—viewers inside China have told me—that China has now reached an era of national awakening. When I say an era of national awakening, I don't just mean ordinary adults; now, even many minors, and even children, are resisting the brainwashing of the Chinese Communist Party. Can you imagine this? It's hard to imagine; even I find it hard to imagine.

There are many young people in my audience circle. How do I know this? First, there is data on YouTube showing the age ranges of viewers, which I can see in the backend. About 20% to 30% of them are young people in their twenties and thirties. Furthermore, many young people contact me through various means, sending me messages. They are in their twenties, just graduated from university, or some haven't even graduated yet. In these circumstances, they...

In my interactions with them, I have discovered that their thinking and consciousness, and their understanding of the Chinese Communist Party, far exceed that of the vast majority of adults. Most of the adults we saw previously, for example in the White Paper Movement, were university students or older. Now, many of my friends in China tell me that even in elementary and middle schools, there are many.

Children are already openly resisting the brainwashing of Xi Jinping. I'm sorry, but in schools, there are many courses that are about the Chinese Communist Party brainwashing children. Many students even confront their teachers in class, saying, "What you are saying is wrong." Where does the consciousness of these young people come from? It comes from their parents, from their families. In other words, children like this often come from families...

that have been instilling these ideas all along. It's just like me; can you imagine that I started to wake up when I was ten years old? I always refused to join the Little Red Guards, right? My grades were not bad when I was in school, right? But under those circumstances, because my family education had already set my path, my consciousness was already there. I had long realized, long recognized, that the Chinese Communist Party is evil.

The Communist Party is evil! The Communist Party lies, and everything it says is a lie. A couple of days ago, I was talking with a friend about how when everyone was young back then, we used to listen to these so-called enemy radio stations. When I was a child, I often listened to Voice of America shortwave, because my father used to work in radio. Back then, many Chinese families didn't yet have radios capable of receiving shortwave.

This kind of radio, this kind of relatively large radio, this was a full-band radio. At that time, my family had one; my father made things like this, building several of them at a time. Sometimes after making them, he could make them himself, and once made, he would give them away directly. The first television in our family, back in the early 1980s, the television was made by my father himself.

He bought the parts and put it together. I remember at that time, the shell seemed to be a shell or something? I remember it was through something, it seemed there was a Hongmei Television Factory in Wuxi. My father originally had a subordinate of his, a subordinate who used to be in the radio station, where he was a leader at the time. His subordinate at the Northwest People's Broadcasting Station was one of his subordinates, and this person was later transferred from the northwest back to...

Uh, Jiangnan, he was from Suzhou; his hometown was Guanqian Street in Suzhou. There was a large mansion there, a very beautiful large mansion. Later it was seized by the Communist Party, likely seized during the Land Reform, during the political movements. After it was seized, his older sister, his biological sister, was in the United States at the time, working as a journalist for a media outlet in the U.S. I have told everyone before—I don't know if many viewers might have heard this story of mine.

I told this story: this person's biological sister was a well-known Chinese journalist working for a media outlet in the U.S. at the time. This person's surname was Zheng, Zheng with the radical on the right... this person surnamed Zheng, um, because her younger brother was surnamed Zheng, her older sister was also surnamed Zheng. At the time, her younger brother was raised by family servants because he was very young and small, uh, at that time.

During the period when their family was fleeing, fleeing to Hong Kong, fleeing to the United States, his son didn't manage to escape, didn't escape—meaning the youngest brother of the family didn't escape, while the older sister and almost all other family members did escape. Therefore, he alone managed a mansion at the time, which was later seized by the Communist Party. Afterwards, he studied very well, and in the 1950s after graduating, he was assigned to the Northwest People's Broadcasting Station. I still remember his name was Zheng Zhiyuan, called Zheng Zhi. My father frequently mentioned him, and I have met this person. After my father was transferred back to Shanghai, he specially came from Wuxi—at that time working in Wuxi—to visit my father. My father used to be his superior, after all.

He became the deputy factory director of the Hongmei Television Factory. Ah, if anyone remembers the old Wuxi Hongmei Television Factory from the 1980s, people who worked over there, I mention this person Zheng Zhiyuan, and I think everyone should know him. His older sister was in the United States, the rest of the family was in the United States, and his sister was in the U.S. when Deng Xiaoping visited the United States in 1979.

At a press conference, his older sister stood up in front of all the media in the world and raised a question, saying: "The Communist Party is now reforming and opening up, so what about the assets that the Communist Party seized from ordinary people back then?" Xi Jinping... uh, not Xi Jinping, Deng Xiaoping, heard and took note of these words. After taking note of them, Deng Xiaoping immediately sought out his subordinates, immediately looked for her, looked for this journalist, and looked for her older sister.

Later, when asked what was going on, her older sister told a senior official at the time—a senior official by Deng Xiaoping's side—she told him: "I am from Wuxi, I... I am from Suzhou, and my family has an old mansion in Suzhou, an old mansion, and this mansion has already been confiscated by the Communist Party. My younger brother is still in the northwest, working in the northwest. At that time, it seemed to be in the Northwest Broadcasting Administration Bureau, and he might already be a leader within the bureau."

If his name is Zheng Zhiyuan, then just tell him directly: after Deng Xiaoping returned to power, he did one thing. What was it? He immediately returned his family's mansion to him. This is perhaps the earliest example in China of returning confiscated property to a capitalist; it is a very typical case. How do I know this? Because he came to my home; he came to see my father at the time. I have met this person, and I have seen him. My father later told me about this matter, saying it was his mansion.

It was a large mansion in Suzhou, a very beautiful Suzhou-style home. They were wealthy people in the past, and the large mansion was returned to him. I suppose later, since I am older now, it was probably sold to someone else.

Well, let me tell you a story. I often tell old stories, old stories for everyone to hear. The Communist Party, well.

It is just that the Communist Party is like this: at the time, whatever it needed, it would give you. Look at the petitioners now. You, the petitioners, when you are robbed, even if you go to the embassy to protest, no one will pay attention to you. No one will pay attention to you. The Communist Party will absolutely not pay attention to you. The Communist Party will not, it is impossible for it to return all your property just because you are protesting overseas. Look at Chen Shuguang, whom I talked about yesterday; he set up a tent in front of the embassy and stayed there for a year and a half, and in the end, they only gave him 6 million. He calculated it at the time; he was asking the government for tens of millions in compensation! Because from the 1990s until now, think about it, that is over twenty years! How much money did he lose? If you calculate the interest, it is an astronomical figure, right? And he actually won the lawsuit!

Alright, let us return to today's topic: the awakening of the whole nation. Many young people now, so, do you all remember? I used to say one thing often: what is the greatest achievement of China's reform and opening up? It allowed the common people to awaken. You might say the economic aspects, letting people have enough to eat or something like that, I think that is also true. But what is truly important, I think, is the enlightenment of the human mind.

Do you all remember? In the Mao era, many people were brainwashed by the Communist Party to what extent? Even elementary school students were brainwashed to the point of reporting their own parents, reporting themselves, reporting their own teachers. This is completely against human nature and completely against morality. What the Communist Party did was to make you do these things.

Look, look at how many Chinese people have awakened now. That is why Xi Jinping wants to vigorously grasp this propaganda work, right? And start from childhood; that is the logic. But it is already too late for Xi Jinping, it is already very late. Now that the whole nation is awakening, he only has one way. So I have been saying, I said Xi Jinping, if he wants to truly and firmly control this country, he will definitely have the intention to kill in the future. He will have to eliminate many families, he will have to eliminate many people who have thoughts. So currently, among the officials, actually, look at the proportion of common people who are enlightened, and look at the proportion of officials who are enlightened.

This proportion should be quite similar. For example, those who are truly awakened in China now might be at 50% or 60%. Among the officials, there are also 50% to 60% who are awakened. Oh, the reality has already slapped the common people in the face, it has already slapped the common people's faces.

Reality, look at how the Communist Party boasts every day that it is for the people, that the country belongs to the people, and the people are the country. Xi Jinping has been bragging again these past two days, saying the people are the country, the people are the country. Look at the people's money; you, the Communist Party, are acting like a fool everywhere in the world now. How much money does your Communist Party embezzle every year? Where did this money go? It is all the blood and sweat of the common people. This money should have been returned to the people; it should have been used to solve the people's livelihood problems. What about the common people now? What about their lives?

Therefore, these things that the common people see and encounter are completely opposite to the Communist Party, and completely opposite to the Communist Party's propaganda. So this kind of propaganda is now completely useless, useless. So, what is the greatest achievement of reform and opening up? It is letting the common people awaken. Ah, your propaganda, like our self-media, or some anti-CCP media, is spreading information, and it is useful, it is useful. Who are we talking to? We are talking to those who can truly understand. There are many people who refuse to understand.

However, for those who refuse to understand, once you encounter these injustices, reality will give them a complete reversal. A complete reversal, so these people are all experiencing this in reality, especially under Xi Jinping now. Look at this pandemic, after the pandemic, right? The three years of pandemic lockdowns—how many ordinary people were driven to bankruptcy? How many people actually saw their families broken apart, with their households completely destroyed?

How many ordinary people have already gone bankrupt? In this situation, do you think ordinary people will wake up? Of course they wake up. Over these years, many children, many underage children, watched their parents just disappear, watched their lives completely and utterly change bit by bit, and watched their parents' stable jobs vanish in an instant! Therefore, these realities are a complete slap in the face to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). No matter how much money Xi Jinping takes, no matter how much money he throws at brainwashing, it is no longer of much use, of very little use. Ordinary people are simply not the people of the Mao era. From 1949 until now, truly.

That is, the proportion of ordinary people waking up is currently the highest, the highest it has ever been. In the very beginning, back in 1949, many people had no understanding of the CCP, were clueless, and were fooled by it. Hey, they were being deceived by the CCP. The CCP drew a beautiful pie in the sky, oh, and this pie looked so magnificent; everyone was being deceived by the CCP, and many were ultimately tricked to death. Behind every single political movement, countless people were destroyed, completely ruined, right? Some lost their lives, while others spent their entire lives locked up in prison until they died.

But things are different now, things are different. Now the national gates have opened, right? Over the past few decades, new ideas have continuously poured in—democracy, Western democratic ideologies and concepts have constantly entered China, turning the entire society into an era of nationwide awakening. From the 1980s until.

After Xi Jinping came to power, leading up to the 2000s, let's say up to the 2000s, this period was an era of nationwide awakening. From 2000 until now, over the past five or six years, during these six years, a massive number of Chinese ordinary people have completely turned around, completely flipped. Moreover, this awakening of theirs does not mean they are just opposing Xi; they have now reached a stage of opposing the CCP itself. Back during the June Fourth (Tiananmen) protests, nobody was opposing the CCP yet; everyone was just opposing Deng Xiaoping. Look at how they were still flattering those people inside the CCP.

Now it is completely different. Now, everyone has realized that unless the CCP falls, this country will never get better. As long as the CCP does not fall, disasters in this country will keep happening. Therefore, today's anti-CCP activists, today's awakened individuals—a large portion of the awakened have already reached the true realm of opposing the CCP.

This is what everyone sees and what everyone can understand, can comprehend. Nowadays, many of the CCP's propaganda efforts have already entered kindergartens and elementary schools, so their parents are reacting to the extent that some parents even refuse to let their children go to school.

Not entering state schools—there are many, and I have met several friends, several friends who have already started private tutoring classes. What is called a private tutoring class? That is, groups of three or five close friends who have already seen through this society, running away from big cities to Yunnan or Guizhou, finding a place, selling their apartments in big cities with soaring housing prices—selling apartments worth millions, running off to small places, buying properties worth hundreds of thousands there, and living in those places. Then, they have children, having several children, and they educate their children at home themselves.

Or they form something like a tribe, a community, a small collective in a certain place where everyone opens a private school together, studying there and teaching the children there. Ah, you think now, these people—I asked them: Will you stay like this forever? They said: It's impossible. They said: We are waiting for the CCP to perish.

They are using this method to avoid these people. If they are unwilling to leave China, that is fine, they can stay in some smaller places. Sometimes they can drive their own cars or take planes to other places to have fun or travel. However, regarding education, they have completely abandoned this education system of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Well, these people are excellent, and the children of these people will not be influenced by this brainwashing of the CCP in the future.

Ah, this is something we are all very gratified about, that is, from now on, a large number of children have already become awakened people in all of China. These people will be the future anti-CCP elites, because they are anti-CCP elites. Alright, I will stop here for this topic. Thank you all for watching, and see you in the next program.
