魏京生先生在研讨会上领衔演讲。他指出：《·九·评*》彻底改变了中国人民对共产党的幻想。从《·九·评*》发表五年来中国民众的思想转变，可以看到《·九·评*》的重要作用。过去，许多人只是从他们自身的经历知道中共的邪恶，但《·九·评*》使得他们能全面深刻地了解共产党。《·九·评*》第一次很系统、全面地把共产党的罪恶揭露出来，而且说明它为什么有这么多的罪恶。《·九·评*》的系统描述使大家了解到共产党从根本上就是一个罪恶的党。它从根子上就是坏的，只可能做坏事。
魏京生说：他注意到五年下来，《·九·评*》还有一个更大的作用。这是当年没有想到的。他说，当时《·九·评*》、退!党!刚开始时，很多人都有疑问：《·九·评*》出来能对共产党有什么影响吗?之所以当时很多人都怀疑，是因为那时期望共产党改良的思潮是主流。“但现在我们看到人们对共产党的了解有了彻底的变化。可以说几年以来，中国老百姓对共产党的看法已经有了根本性的转变。甚至共产党内部有钱有势的亿万富翁也改变了看法，也认识到中共的专制制度必将结束，民主制度终将建立。”魏京生指出：“大家都认识到中共的一党专制必须结束。这些罪恶才会结束。”
魏京生先生说，《·九·评*》、退!党!的确实有效，因为它彻底改变了中国人民对共产党的幻想。他说：“我觉得《·九·评*》、退!党!之所以有这么大的功劳，是因为许多人没日没夜地工作，宣传《·九·评*》、退!党!，来揭发共产党的罪恶，因而推动人们的认识有了这么快的转变。”
以中文演讲的其他嘉宾还有：大华府藏族社区领袖洛桑先生；香港中国冤民大同盟主席沈婷女士；大华府退出中共服务中心主任陶莉莎女士；夏威夷大学宗教与哲学系前访问学者及原首都师范大学心理系副教授孙延军教授；新!唐!人:电视台特约评论员贺宾先生。波兰、越南、老挝、西藏的社区领袖在英文的研讨会上作了演讲。
Wei Jingsheng Speaks at Washington Forum's Seminar on Implications of the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" and the "Quit the CCP Movement" in China and the World
On December 4, 2009, Wei Jingsheng, the well-known Chinese democracy leader and prominent human rights activist, was invited as an honor guest to speak at a seminar in the Montgomery Country Council Office Building in Rockville, Maryland. This seminar was organized by the Epoch Times, Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP, and the Washington Forum. The topic of the seminar was: Implications of the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" and the "Quit the CCP Movement" in China and the World. The seminar had two sessions, in Chinese and in English. It was moderated by Professor Sen Nieh, the president of the Epoch Times - DC, and co-founder of Washington Forum.
The Chinese session started with Mr. Wei Jingsheng's speech. Wei Jingsheng pointed out that the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" ("Nine Commentaries") has totally changed people's illusions about the Communist Party. One could tell from the Chinese people's change of attitude about the Communist Party since "Nine Commentaries" was published 5 years ago. Many people knew from their own experience that the Communist Party was bad, but they did not know the rest until the "Nine Commentaries" gave out the whole complete picture.
Mr. Wei said it was the "Nine Commentaries" that systematically exposed the crimes and evil nature of the Communist Party, meanwhile illustrating why it has done so much crime. The "Nine Commentaries" enabled us to know and to understand the evil nature of the Communist Party, that it is bad from its roots, and thus could only do things badly.
Wei Jingsheng also said that he noticed that the "Nine Commentaries" had another major impact which was not expected 5 years ago. "Five years ago, when 'Nine Commentaries' and the 'Quit the CCP' movement just started, there were many questioning if this could have much effect. They were doubtful because at that time, the thought of reforming the Communist Party from within was the mainstream view."
Wei Jingsheng said: "However, now we got to know the Communist Party completely. You could tell that the Chinese people have totally changed their view of the Communist Party in the past a few years. Even the rich and powerful people within the Communist Party changed their own viewpoints as they realized that the one party dictatorship by the Communist Party has to end, and a democratic system would be in place." Wei said: "People realized that the Communist Party's one party dictatorship must end. Only then will we be able to finish all the crimes by the Communist Party nowadays."
Wei Jingsheng concluded that the "Nine Commentaries" and the "Quit the CCP" movement were indeed effective and powerful, for it changed Chinese illusions about the Communist Party completely. "However, the credit for the 'Nine Commentaries' and the 'Quit CCP' being so effective is due to many people's endless work to propagate the 'Nine Commentaries', to urge the others to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, to expose the crimes of the Communist Party, and thus push people to change their minds at such a fast pace."
More than a dozen of scholars and community leaders spoke at the seminars. These other speakers in the Chinese session were: Professor SUN Yanjun, a former visiting scholar of the University of Hawaii and former psychology professor of Beijing Normal University; Mr. SHEN Ting, co-founder/chairperson of the Chinese League of Victims (Hong Kong); Mr. HE Bin, guest commentator of New Tang Dynasty Television; Mr. Lobsang Chopell, activist for Tibetan communities in the Capitol area; and Ms. Lisa TAO, director of the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP - DC. Polish, Vietnamese, Laos and other American and Tibetan community leaders and activists spoke at the English seminar.
