After the publication of the Nine Commentaries of the Communist Party, it was as though a trumpet blast awakened the conscience and awareness of the Chinese people at home and abroad. Waves of powerful thought surged toward Beijing, shaking China’s crumbling, fragile “Berlin Wall.”
Each principle, argument, and analysis in the Nine Commentaries struck at the core of the Chinese Communist Party, piercing through its long-standing deceptive mask and exposing its stark ugliness. Enraged and humiliated, the authorities ordered a manhunt for the author, but after 20 years, the writer remains unidentified.
So who is the author of the Nine Commentaries? There are posts online that claim the CCP is still searching for him. Is that true? Readers can judge for themselves.
Who is the author of the ‘Nine Commentaries’?
To understand who the authors of the Nine Commentaries might be, one must consider whether they fit within the following criteria.
Those who can write
In the digital age, those who may not be able to write by hand can still type compelling stories that stir hearts and should be considered suspects.
Those who can craft essays
Anyone with literary training, clear thinking, logical reasoning, broad knowledge, and a love for reading — regardless of affiliation with any writers’ unions or past publications should be blacklisted. From the CCP’s perspective, it would be better to wrongly detain ten thousand than let even one such person slip through.
Those with a sense of justice
People who refuse to conform, who fiercely criticize falsehood, evil, and violence, could write commentaries. They uphold centuries-old moral standards, can distinguish right from wrong, do not fear power, and persist in truth and goodness. These individuals are upright and sharp-edged, like porcupines bristling with integrity and like lotus flowers rising cleanly from the mud.
Those with extraordinary insight
Such people possess penetrating vision and deeply analytical minds. They profoundly understand what others fail to grasp. Their observations are precise, their logic clear, and their insights profound. Their thoughts and vision are unmistakably unique.
Those whom the CCP has persecuted
Survivors of brutal campaigns, those physically and mentally scarred, and families of victims – these are the most qualified to speak out. They form a vast army of resistance and may be the gravediggers of the regime’s final days.
Prophets
Unaffiliated with any party, these are passionate patriots deeply responsible for China’s future. Drawing on history and global perspective, they critique current ills and offer bold, resonant truths to awaken the public and point toward a brighter path. They are visionary pioneers with broad minds and far-reaching perception.
Conclusion
Such people are not far away – they are right before your eyes. If you govern for the people with humility, consider inviting them as national advisors to help shape policy. Or entrust them with meaningful roles to reform politics and fulfill their aspirations. If they refuse to stand with you, step aside and let the capable lead. If such talents unite to guide the nation toward prosperity, democracy, and freedom, it will be a blessing for China and the world.
