【新唐人2014年11月20日讯】被中共列为第一大禁书的《九评共产党》自问世起，至今已经十年了，尽管遭到了当局的强力封杀，但令中共料想不到的是，这本奇书越禁越传，十年间，不但传遍了中国大陆，更是引发了全球退党大潮，令中共又恨又怕。如今，《九评》已经被译作几十种语言在各国人民和政要首脑间广泛传阅，所引发的亿万退党大潮也正在与全球广泛的去除共产主义运动遥相呼应，所造成的影响更是由中国辐射向了全世界。
十年前的今天，全面揭露共产党来源和历史的系列社论《九评共产党》在《大纪元时报》首次连载，并在短时间内迅速传遍中国。犹如一颗炸弹的《九评》，引爆大陆“三退”大潮——读过《九评》的大陆民众在了解了中共的本质后，纷纷在《大纪元》退党网站发表“三退”声明，要求退出共产党、共青团、少先队等相关组织，在国际社会引发了巨大反响。
十年过去，《九评》不但被翻译成英、日、德、法、韩、俄、西班牙、意大利等23国语言在世界各地传播和发行，并受到了广泛好评。《九评》还曾获得乌克兰书展“最佳出版奖”提名，以及2005年美国亚裔记者协会“网路报导类最佳奖”等褒奖，被民间誉为“旷世奇书”。
中国社会问题研究人士，中国民主党全委会美国委员会主席张健：“可以说这本书给我的震撼，超出了以往任何书的想像。我打开之后，看这本书就是四个字‘欲罢不能’，完全就不能放下了，后来我可以说是一气完成。我看完这部书以后就对我朋友说，我说写这本书的人，的确就是拯救中国未来的。”
令人称奇的是，《九评》的传播完全跨越了种族、信仰、国家和阶层的界限，阅读的人群从中国大陆遍及海外；从共产国家到西方民主国家；从民间百姓到政要首脑。
据不完全统计，在过去的十年间，与《九评》相关的各种室内研讨会、专题论坛、新闻发布会、图片展等活动，至少举办了2000场，遍及全球5大洲上百个城市。参加会议的专家、学者、政要、领袖、社会精英、媒体人达到上万人。
张健：“因为从来没有一本书如此详细的把共产党所有的丑陋与邪恶，它这种肮脏、它怎么样去剥削我们中国人民，没有这样写出来。这本书淋漓尽致的把中共魔鬼的形象，刻画的入木三分，每一个人看到这本书的时候，都能在这本书里面找到自己被迫害、被剥削、被折磨——在肉体和精神上被折磨这种影子。所以这本书你看完之后，你马上跟它产生了共鸣。”
乌克兰第一任总统列昂尼德•克拉夫丘克曾在多个场合向媒体、政要推荐俄文版《九评》。他说前苏联解体后，他退出了苏共，并不断的反思前苏联历史。因为他常翻看《九评》，使他对过去和今天有了清醒深刻的认识。
然而，最让国际社会和媒体震动的，则是《九评》所引发的“全球退党大潮”。据《大纪元》退党中心统计，在《九评》传播的十年间，“三退”人数从最初的几十、几百人发展到现在的超过1亿8千3百万人，并且还在以每个月300多万人、每天10万人，每分钟70多人的数字迅速增长着。
欧洲议会议员前爱沙尼亚议会副主席董纳克兰Tunne Kelam：“这是非常令人鼓舞的潮流，希望能持续带来变革。这提醒了我，生活在独裁统治下的每个人都有机会，那就是不让他（她）自己被共产党的宣传所利用。这也就是现在实际上发生的（三退），是一种非暴力抵抗，但这让你远离这个体制，远离它的宣传、它的谎言。这只是一个开始，培养对自己的尊重，重新找寻自我，并最终得出结论：你无法生活在暴力、谎言的体制下。”
捷克前总统哈维尔，2005年在回应如何看待《九评》所引发的中国“三退”大潮现象时表示：对抗共产主义最好的武器，不是采用武力器械，而是采用道德，理念和知识的武器，能够面对危险而勇敢的站出来坚持真理是最有效的办法。
历史学家认为，《九评》一书令大陆民众思想有了根本而彻底的转变，觉醒后的人们引发的“三退”效应，正在将全球去共化运动推向历史最高点。
董纳克兰Tunne Kelam：“我认为任何一个变化，都始于个人。首先是人内心的改变，成为一个内心自由的公民，一个有责任感的公民。能够对现行的体制，提出可替代的民主体制。当千百万民众，就像现在中国发生的，远离执政党时，那么民主变革就很可能会发生。”
《九评》发表前，去共化运动在东欧各国相继掀起，但仅表现在解体共产党的政治体制、销毁党魁塑像和共产书籍等方面，多数人对共产主义的认识仅停留在它给人类带来的种种灾难层面，而对于共产党的本质和根源并没能完全了解。
《九评》发表后的十年间，全球出现了更大规模、更彻底的去除共产主义运动，乌克兰、波兰、乔治亚、捷克、立陶宛、爱沙尼亚、匈牙利等国家纷纷通过法律和决议，清算前共产党成员、清除国家境内一切共产主义符号、党文化和共产党的影响；欧洲议会2009年举行了“欧洲良知和共产极权罪行”的听证会；亚洲2014年发生了海内外瞩目的台湾“太阳花学运”以及香港“占中”运动，这些都被认为是民众在彻底认清共产党本质后觉醒的表现。
董纳克兰Tunne Kelam：“没有独裁政权能永远持续下去。它越早垮台，对我们大家越好。”
人们形容：《九评》的传出，犹如九把利剑，彻底斩断了中共的根基。

Global Effect Of The Ban Of The Number One Book
Since the CCP’s number one banned book was published
a decade ago, the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist
Party" has only become ever more popular
much to the surprise of CCP.
For ten years, it has spread throughout Mainland
and triggered a global tide of denouncing the Communist
organizations, causing hatred and fear by the CCP.
Available in dozens of languages and circulating among
the people and political leaders, the Nine Commentaries
has caused the global denouncement of the CCP
that echoes with the worldly elimination of Communism.
The effect has radiated from China to the whole world.
Ten years ago today, the Epoch Times’ editorial series,
“Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" that fully
detailed the origin and history of the Communist Party
went public for the first time.
Like a bomb, the Nine Commentaries detonated a tide
of denouncing the CCP and its associated organizations
in China.
People who read the Nine Commentaries understand
the nature of CCP.
One after another, they announced their withdrawals from
the Communist organizations on the Epoch Times website.
Great repercussions have thus been created by these public
denouncements of the Chinese Communist Party,
Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers of China.
Over the past decade, the Nine Commentaries has been
translated into 23 different languages— English, Japanese,
German, French, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Italian
and more.
Global distribution and publication have won
the Nine Commentaries widely praise.
It was nominated the Best Publication Award
in the Ukrainian Book Fair, and received the 2005 National
Awards for new media journalists in the Asian American
Issues.
It was hailed a masterpiece by general folks.
Chinese social problems researcher Zhang Jian Sound Source:
Voice of Hope: “You can say that I was totally
shocked beyond imagination by this book,
more than any previous book I have read.
Three words came up to describe the moment I began reading
the book, ‘Can’t put down.’
I finished the book without stopping.
I told my friends after I finished reading this book that
the people who wrote this book are the ones
who will save China."
Surprisingly, the Nine Commentaries has completely crossed
the boundaries of race, creed, national and class;
readers range from China to overseas, from communist
countries to Western democratic countries;
from the common people to political dignitaries.
Data showed at least 2,000 seminars, forums,
press conferences, exhibitions and other activities
have been held in the past decade, in hundreds of cities
and in five continents.
Participants have exceeded tens of thousands from experts,
academics, politicians, leaders, elites, to media professionals.
Zhang Jian: “There has never been a book describing in such
detail all the ugliness and evilness of the Communist Party,
its dirty exploitation of the Chinese people.
This book so vividly portrayed the devil image of the CCP.
Those who have been persecuted, exploited, tortured
by the CCP can see the shadow of torture both physically
and mentally.
After reading this book, it immediately resonates
with people."
The first President of Ukraine, Leonid Kravchuk,
has recommended the “Nine Commentaries" to the media
and politicians on several occasions.
He said that after the demise of former Soviet Union,
he withdrew from the CPSU, and has been reflecting
on the history of the former Soviet Union.
Reading the Nine Commentaries brings him awareness
and deep understanding of the past and present.
However, much to the surprise of the international
community and the media, the “global tide of quitting
the CCP " has been triggered by the Nine Commentaries.
According to the Quitting the CCP Center of Epoch Times,
the number of the people who withdrew from the CCP
and its affiliated organizations have developed from tens
to hundreds and now more than 183 million Chinese today.
The number is still growing fast at the rate of 3 million
a month, 100,000 a day, and around 70 people per minute.
Member of European Parliament Tunne Kelam: “This is
an encouraging trend, hopefully it would also contribute
to bringing about change.
But this reminds me of the chance of every person living
under the dictatorship.
That is not to allow himself or herself to be used
by communist propaganda.
This is exactly what is happening.
It is a passive resistance.
But it is distancing yourself from the system,
from its propaganda, from its lies.
This is the beginning of developing respect for yourself,
rediscovering your identity, finally concluding that
you cannot live in a system of violence and lies."
In 2005, former Czech President Václav Havel, in response
to the Quit the CCP movement triggered by the Nine
Commentaries, said that the best weapon against communism
is not the force, but the ethics, philosophy and knowledge.
To uphold the truth with courage in the face
of danger is the most effective way.
Historians believe that the Nine Commentaries brings about
a fundamental ideological and radical change to mainlanders.
The withdrawals from the Communist organizations
are pushing the global movement of eliminating Communism
to the historically highest point.
Tunne Kelam: “I think every change starts from a person,
from an individual, you first need to change within yourself,
to become a free citizen internally, a responsible citizen who
is capable of offering alternatives, democratic alternatives,
to the existing ones…
and then when millions of people, like in China,
distance themselves from the ruling party,
then it is quite possible it will help very much that
a democratic change will take place."
Before the Nine Commentaries was published, the elimination
of Communism had began in Eastern European countries,
but only manifested in the disintegration of the Communist
Party’s political system, the destruction of communist leaders’
statues and Communism books.
Most people’s understanding of Communism only stays
at the level of the disaster to humans.
The nature and causes of the Communist Party
had not been fully understood.
In the 10 years since the publication of the Nine
Commentaries, a grand scale and thorough removal
of Communism has emerged in the world.
Countries such as Ukraine, Poland, Georgia, Czech Republic,
Lithuania, Estonia, and Hungary have adopted laws
and resolutions to clear out former Communist Party
members, communist symbols, culture and the influence
of the Communist Party in its territories;
the European Parliament held a public hearing in 2009
on European conscience and crimes
of the Totalitarian Communism;
Taiwan’s Sunflower Student Movement in 2014
and the Occupy Central movement in Hong Kong
are all considered demonstration of a clear understanding
of the nature of Communist Party by the people.
Tunne Kelam: “No dictatorship is going to last forever.
The sooner it collapses, the better for all of us."
People describe that The Nine Commentaries is like nine
swords that completely sever the CCP’s foundation.
