successor

Yajun, come in. Yajun, you didn't bring any recording devices right? No. Yajun, It's not that I don't trust you, I don't trust myself. Since last night, when I decided to tell you this secret, I've felt that there are ears everywhere. No way. Why not? Look. Sit. I've kept this secret for forty years. Do you remember when we were in elementary school, that day when Wang Lili and I joined the Young Pioneers. Of course. I wasn't accepted at that time. Seeing you two join the Pioneers, I felt life was so unfair. I cried right away when I got home. And then I caught a bad cold. How can I not remember? Today, for students Wang Lili and Liu Hongxing, it is a glorious and joyous day. Approved by the school party committee, you are now official members of the Young Pioneers. Students, this is such a touching moment. Let's give them a round of applause. Next, they'll have the red scarves put on. Student Liu Hongxing. Well done! Liu Hongxing. The school party secretary personally patted you on the shoulder and said well done. You are the only one the school party secretary has ever patted. From today on, you are the successor of communism. I am overjoyed. Do not forget! I am the successor of communism. Get up. You can kowtow in the future. But, it's been so many years. Why hasn't the Central Committee sent anyone to notify me? Be patient. If they say you're the successor, then you're the successor. It's just a matter of time. Even a hundred-year wait is worth it. You must remain faithful. Do you know who you're drinking with right now? The future supreme leader. Since that day, I yearned for the stars, the moon, and yearned for the senior leadership to have someone pick me up. You used to stare out the window. So that's what it was. Hongxing, you really know how to be patient. If it was me, for something so significant, I would be waiting outside every day. Hongxing, what're you looking at? Yajun, who is the principal welcoming? That… I think...they said he's from Beijing. Beijing! Ah? What's going on? Section Chief Huang. Our school's funding can use a few words of support from you to the superiors. Please. Principal Wang. Other schools are outperforming you. You have to work harder. Of course. Understood. What're you doing! Leader, are you from Beijing? Are you here for me? Hongxing. Did the superiors send you here to convey a mandate? Leader, I'm already prepared. What's wrong with this kid? Is he out of his mind? Liu Hongxing, get out of here. What's wrong with you! What're you doing! Liu Hongxing, get lost! Take me to Beijing. Leader, I'm already prepared. Let me go. Someone, drag him out of here. I'm already prepared. Let me go. Liu Hongxing. Did you do this on purpose to embarrass me? Section Chief Huang, I have nothing to do with it. I'm innocent. I really didn't know. Just you wait. No, Section Chief. Principal, should we beat him? He was here to see me. This punk ruined my business. Take care of him. We are the Communist successors. heirs of the glorious revolutionary tradition. Punk. Are you crazy? Love the motherland, love the people, our crimson scarves aflutter. Why did you two pass away so soon? Mother… The day hasn't arrived for me to assume power but you and father already left. Wang Lili. Hongxing. I heard you got hurt. Are you ok? I'm fine. That's good. Come in. I'm going to Shenzhen. My father is going to start a business in Shenzhen. I'm going with him. Then, we might not see each other again. Hongxing. Do you want to go to Shenzhen with me? No. I have more important things to do. What's more important than doing business? You'll know in the future. Not only you, but all the Chinese people, even everyone in the world would see it. Count me out of your dream. I'll go with Erhuzi instead. He's got lots of money. You will definitely regret it. From then on, I did not contact Wang Lili again. What a pity. Such a good person went to America, and embraced capitalism. I bet that she became part of the anti-China forces. That'll be the end. If they knew it would end up like this, they should've put her red scarf around my neck instead. All these years, I endured the humiliation. Those who don't know thought I was mentally ill. Let's all welcome Secretary Li. For so many years, the head office appointed me to oversee this branch factory. This factory has been loss-making every year. I felt so ashamed that I didn't know what to do. Secretary Li has languished over these years. But this year, you have finally turned things around and made a profit. I can finally raise my head at the head office. I bow deeply to all of you. I sincerely thank you all. This banner was truly difficult to obtain. Comrades. We're able to achieve this result because over 80% of our staff practices Falun Gong. Ever since they started practicing, everyone now works diligently. The spirit of the entire factory has been purified. Those slackers in the past, under their influence, now became hard-working. Now each one of the staff strives to be a good person. In the past, the staff took all kinds of products home. I couldn’t stop them at all. But now they are bringing the products back. That's why our performance is rising so much. On my way home on the bus every day, I see groups of practitioners everywhere. You see, isn't there hope for our country now? Right. Zhao. Hongxing. Is someone here from the head office? It must be her. Hongxing. Don't get involved. This is something major. Comrade. Are you here for me? I'm Liu Hongxing. What're you doing! You should tell me in private. You rascal! How dare you hit me? Secretary Li, are you ok? Do you know who you just hit? Take him to the security. Don't drag me! You'll regret this! Zhang, bring him in. Let me go. I'm not going in. Stop it. Let me go. Do you know what this is? If you don't obey, I'll electroshock you. Sit. Do you know who I am? You'll pay for what you've done today. See how serious his illness is? He's got a mental disorder. I'll ask you a few questions. If everything is normal, I can let you go. This psychiatric facility does not accept normal people. Go ahead and ask. See for yourselves if I'm normal or not. Who goes to the hospital every day? Doctors, of course. Director, it should be patients right? Next, why do tigers eat raw food? Because they are beasts. Because tigers don't know how to cook. If a black person and a white person marry and have a baby, are the baby's teeth black or white? Babies don't have teeth. Be gone. Hongxing, don't be like that. For all these years, you think I had it easy? Those who said you're crazy, I think it's their brains that have problems. Who are you? You're the future supreme leader. Hello? Hongxing, I'm Foreman Zhao. Foreman, what's the matter? Someone from the head office is here. What? There's a message for you. Come here right away. Ok, I'll be right there. From the day I joined the Youth Pioneers till now, it's already been many decades. My time has finally come. I must remain calm. You're here. Zhao. Hongxing, you're here. What's the business today? Greetings, Comrade Liu. Li, greetings. Zhao. Where should I sit? Here, in my seat. Yeah. Secretary Li, please make the announcement. Yes, Foreman Zhao. Comrade Liu Hongxing. On behalf of the corporation's HR department, I officially inform you Stop. Don't cry. This day has finally come. Ma'am! Liu Hongxing is ready. Li, continue with the announcement. Ok. Approved by the Party Committee of the corporation, Comrade Liu Hongxing is formally in retirement. I waited for so many years, but they let me retire instead. I don't understand. Hongxing. It's a good thing. Good? How so? This must be a stalling tactic by the leadership. It must be the final test. Think about it. Letting you retire early means preparing you for the succession right? I see. Why didn't I think of that? Such well intentions. Yajun, you really understand me. Your clever mind is much smarter than that of Foreman Zhao and Secretary Li. Yajun, what's wrong? Hongxing. To see you in the future will become difficult. Just based on your devotion, when I succeed, I'll let you be a member of the Central Committee. Thank you, Your Majesty. Get up. Sit. A toast to the successor of communism. Who is it? Coming. Hongxing, do you remember us? Wang Lili. Quick. Come in. Hey. Hurry, come in. Your home is still unfurnished. Did you just come from America? Yes. Did anyone follow you? Who would follow us? We're not celebrities. Look. Do you know who this is? Principal, should we beat him? Do it! Erhuzi! That's right. I remember. When we were in school, you dared to hit me. Every time I see you, I'd hit you. Can you believe it? What're you saying? I dare you to hit me. No, stop. Come on, hit me. Hongxing, I came this time to tell you something. As you know, my father's business in the U.S. is flourishing. He intends to let Erhuzi be his partner. So what? We know that you were given early retirement. We're here to ask you if you're willing to help us take care of the domestic business? Enough. Don't tempt me with sugar-coated lies. I grew up under the red flag. An upright believer in communism. There's no way I'll go down the capitalism path like you. What did I say. I said this man's crazy. If we let him run the business, it'll go bankrupt. Who're you calling crazy? I said you. Do you know who I am? If you knew who I'll be in the future, it'll scare you to death. Hongxing, you haven't changed one bit. Look at you. Even your clothes are the same. Wang Lili. What right do you have to judge me? Look at yourselves. You reek of capitalism. Permed hair. Such large earrings. I will never become a revisionist like you. Hongxing, the outside world has changed drastically. Who would've thought in China there are still people as stubborn as you. Lili... There are many people like him. Look at those who wear "red army clothing" and sing "red songs", and those fanatical "little pinks". They're all living in their own unrealistic delusions. You wouldn't understand our state of mind. Lili, see what I said? He...let's just go. Hurry up and leave. Wait. Hongxing, this will be our last time visiting you. This book is for you. It's everywhere overseas. You should read it thoroughly. Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party What authority do they have to judge the Communist Party? I won't read it. Liu Hongxing. Whether you can wake up all depends on yourself. Get out. Hurry and get lost. Lili, I told you to not come here, but you insisted. Let's go. Don't come here again. Hongxing, here. Look at this. A friend living overseas brought it to me. Epoch Times. This newspaper is distributed worldwide. It is a newspaper of record. Now, everyone is quitting the Communist Party. Over 300 million have quit around the world. Lies! This must be the slanders by anti-China forces. Hongxing, this is the truth. Stop holding on to that unrealistic fantasy. Let me tell you. In our factory, over half of the people have quietly quit the Party. What? Who continues to be as foolish as you? It's too reactionary. Zhao. You and I are like cars on two separate paths. We're like apples and oranges. I should've left you in the psychiatric hospital back then. Nothing can save you. Get out. Over 300 million have quit. Why hasn't the leadership sent anyone to get me? If this keeps up, when I assume power, I won't have any soldiers left. Every day feels like a year. Every day is suffering. Maybe, this is the darkness before the dawn. As a Young Pioneer, one who the school party secretary patted on the shoulder. We swear beneath the flag that we would be ready at all times. I must withstand such a test. Let the storm rage with more fury! Li, you're looking for me? Yes, Foreman Zhao. I happened to be in this area, so I wanted to catch up with you. I haven't seen you for many years. Yeah… You're still a foreman here. Nobody knows the technology. They keep me here to oversee things. It's not as prosperous as it was before. It used to be booming here. Ever since the government started oppressing Falun Gong, this factory almost went bankrupt. Who knows what the government is thinking. Why must they persecute those who want to be good people. Is something wrong with their minds? The people are disheartened. If the country goes on like this, it'll be hopeless. I've been depressed all these years. But let me tell you something. According to reliable sources, the CCP's days are numbered. That's the best news I've heard in years. Just wait and see. Do you remember those years when our factory made money? The admiration I received at the head office… Pity the good times didn't last long. A pretty respectable factory was ruined by the CCP. When there's time, I'll tell you about the situation overseas. We were all kept in the dark. Sure. Hongxing, it's terrible! Something major happened. What is it? Why so flustered? Oh… The sky is about to fall. Tell me, what is it? The Communist Party is about to collapse. Yajun, Are you the same Yajun that I know? I don't want to see you again. Get lost. Let me finish. Let me show you something. Jianping gave me this. I don't want to see it. Take it away. Jianping. Our classmate in elementary school. Remember him? Sure, sure. He is one of Chairman Mao's loyal soldiers. Follow the direction of socialism with determination. Communism will surely be achieved. What he says, you have to believe right? He went abroad with the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. He risked his life to give me this disc. I'll play it for you. Take a look. On November 19, 2004 Epoch Times published a series of articles titled "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party". Hongxing, look. They provided a comprehensive analysis on the nature of the Communist Party and triggered the wave of people quitting the CCP, the Young Pioneers and the Communist Youth League over the last eighteen years. On August 3,2022, the Epoch Times "Quit CCP" website showed that the number of people quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations surpassed 400 million. That day, the Epoch Times published a special commentary noting that this was a new milestone for the quit CCP movement, as well as a major event of global decommunization. The article remarked that 400 million Chinese consciously and wholeheartedly abandoned the CCP, removed the evil brand, unshackled themselves, and embraced freedom. It was a feat truly worthy of celebration. Under the unrelenting efforts of the "Quit CCP" volunteers around the world, the Nine Commentaries and other materials exposing the truth about the CCP are widely disseminated. After learning the truth, Chinese people from all walks of life quit the CCP one after another. The Epoch Times stated that every publication of a statement to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations equated to tearing down a brick off the CCP's red wall. The collapse of the Red Dynasty continues to accelerate. The article said that the CCP is not the same as the Chinese people. It matches. I waited for my whole life… It's over. It's all over. All over. This world… How can it change so quickly? Hongxing. Is imperialism too strong? Why did you tell me this information? I could've gone to see Marx full of hope. You think I feel alright? My Central Committee member dream is no more. Hongxing, stand still. What're you doing? Hongxing. In my heart, you are forever the successor. The wheels of history roll on. The CCP has deceived several generations of Chinese people. It is time to awaken. Reject the CCP. Redeem one's life.
