The Communist Party of China (CPC) rules the People's Republic exclusively. One might think everyone who was anyone would belong to the party. Not so. Then there are those, like the man referred to in the redacted email below sent by a relative, who became disillusioned. Others have too. Wang Jingao wants the inscription on his ash box to read, "Born of a dream; Died of a dream." Having your spouse murdered will do that. But others have not lost faith. Last year some of those who publicly protested state demolition of their homes carried banners proclaiming their pride in their country and their loyalty to the CPC notwithstanding.

---------------,

Since our 3 cousins (--------- children) firmly refused to place a flag of CPC on his father's body, his unit dared not inform CCTV to report the ceremony though, as you may know, all the current and the retired government leaders sent condolence to his family and his unit, Graduate School of --------------------, soon after learning about his death, and on 20th in the condolence hall we also found their wreaths.

The reason why our cousins did so is due to their father's intention: he had long wished to withdraw from CPC organization. More than once we heard him express that wish and he regretted so much that he was finally talked into joining the Party in 1979 for doing his work.

On the 20th, I got a disk about ----------------------- life and work based on CCTV's several visits to him.
