[The Epoch Times, April 10, 2023](Reported by Epoch Times reporter Cheng Jing) A few days ago, someone sprayed words on the red wall of Tiananmen Square: Xi Jinping, the Communist Party must step down, attracting attention. Netizens on Twitter retweeted and praised: Tribute to the Warriors! This is another action by the Chinese people to protest the tyranny of the CCP after Peng Lifa protested against the CCP authorities at Sitong Bridge in Beijing last year, which triggered the toilet revolution and the white paper revolution.

Recently, a picture was circulated on the Internet. Someone sprayed words on the red wall of Tiananmen Square, “The Communist Party of Xi Jinping must step down.”

Looking closely at the picture, the part not blocked by the horizontal cloth strip is: You must step down; the part covered by the cloth strip should be six characters: the first one is Xi (not covered), and the sixth one should be a character of party; The complete slogan is estimated to be: The Communist Party of Xi Jinping must step down.

Netizens reposted and discussed hotly on Twitter:

“On the red wall of Tiananmen Square, martyrs spray-painted ‘Xi Jinping must step down’. In democratic Taiwan, asking someone to step down is a common thing. In China, it is an earth-shattering event.”——Otto Huang

“Hail to the brave! Roar in the land of silence!”—Wu Wenxing

“This is the voice of the people: XXX must step down!!!”——Promise

“All those guarding the overpass can be withdrawn. It’s time to defend Tiananmen with armed forces.”——olive oil

“I just came back from Beijing yesterday. I didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen. It seems that eating melons has awakened, and workers, peasants and soldiers have also awakened.”——Kotori Minami

“Spray words on the red wall of Tiananmen Square, want Xi Jinping to step down, this is a real warrior, amazing”, “Shocking feat: Spray anti-Xi slogans on the red wall of Tiananmen Square”. ——Old Lamp

However, some netizens questioned that in recent years, Tiananmen Square has been heavily guarded 24 hours a day, and plainclothes police are everywhere, and they think it is unreliable.

“Tiananmen Square usually has more agents than tourists, just try to top it with a mineral water bottle. If it is true, it can be said to be both wise and brave.”——bun

Another said, “I personally think this should be true.

“Many people think that there are many plainclothes in Tiananmen Square. Indeed, especially in the square, there are nests of plainclothes. But I found that the place where this person sprayed the words should be at the main gate of the city wall. It is hard for ordinary people to think of this place, and the Communists are here. The police force arranged by the side is insufficient, because they feel that no one will be bold enough to humiliate them under their noses. I went to Beijing before and looked around from the Tiananmen Gate, and there were no people around.”——Big Caitou

The Epoch Times reporter is currently unable to verify this.

Protests against the CCP’s tyranny in China

This is not the first time that Chinese people have expressed dissatisfaction and protest against the tyranny of the CCP.

Last year, on October 13, a protester, Peng Lifa, hung a sign on the Sitong Bridge in Haidian District, Beijing, which read, “Don’t have nucleic acid, you need food, don’t block and control, you need freedom, don’t lie, you need dignity, don’t want Cultural Revolution, want reform, don’t want leaders, want votes , Don’t be a slave, be a citizen” and “Strike to strike to remove the dictatorial traitor Xi Jinping” caused shock at home and abroad.

Although the authorities have completely banned this information on Weibo, WeChat and other platforms, it has already spread on other social platforms.

At that time, just before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the authorities had strictly implemented the “zero-clearing policy” for more than two years, and public dissatisfaction was boiling.

The content of Peng Lifa’s slogan was spread all over the place. In Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other places, people have written the slogan on the walls of public toilet cubicles, classroom window glass, shared bicycle recharge windows and other hidden corners.

For example, in the men’s room of the China Film Archive in Beijing, similar slogans appeared in October last year.

The pictures show that in toilets in Beijing, a large number of slogans and leaflets appeared, echoing the hero Peng Lifa.

At that time, the information also quickly spread overseas. Chinese and international students in New York, Toronto and other international metropolises held activities to support Peng Lifa and protest against the CCP authorities.

Peng Lifa’s actions triggered the “blank paper revolution” that spread across many cities in China at the end of November. Events were held in support of the “White Paper Revolution”. Under pressure, the CCP released the blockade and control in early December and abandoned the zero-clearing policy.

In December last year, Peng Lifa was selected as an “Outstanding Chinese Democrat” by the China Democracy Education Foundation. But so far there is no letter from Peng Li.
