凡认同自由、法治、人权与宪政的人，都是我们队伍的一员；凡愿意为建立民主中国而努力者，皆可成为中国民主党人。加入一个优秀的政党, 就有了依靠, 也有了希望。
那么, 什么是优秀的民主党人呢？我们知道：要成就一项伟大的事业,首先必须拥有一支精干有力的核心队伍, 他们必须具备以下素质才能团结和带领广大民众共同前行。
一、人品好,人品好才能聚人。这首先体现在廉洁自律上。一个在生活上不干净的人，在政治上也往往经不起诱惑，容易为私利所驱动。能在财色面前守住底线，是起码的政治品格。其次，要胸怀宽广。管仲辅佐齐桓公，深知“大厦之成，非一木之材也”，善于任用各类人才，不嫉贤，不拘私怨。更高层次的人品，是对权力的克制。华盛顿连任两届总统后主动退位，以行动表明：权力是责任，不是私产。人品，是立党之本，聚众之基。
二、要有坚定的民主理念。一个没有坚定信念的人，是无法抵御威胁、利诱与孤立的。民主不是一句口号，而是一种责任、一种牺牲精神。民主理念意味着相信人权高于权力，法治优于人治，人民有权决定国家的命运。在高压面前不改初衷，在诱惑面前不动摇，是对一个民主党人的基本要求。没有坚定信念的队伍，终将在关键时刻分崩离析。
三、要有组织和宣传才能。再伟大的理想，也需要有效传播；再优秀的纲领，也要靠组织落地。一个优秀的民主党人，应善于发动群众、组织活动、传播思想。既能下到基层、走进民众当中，用朴实的语言讲明白复杂的政治主张；也能协调各方资源，组织有序高效的行动。组织能力是民主事业走进千家万户的桥梁。
四、要代表大多数公民的利益与诉求。他不是某个小圈子的代言人，而是全社会多数人的希望所在。只有紧紧代表并捍卫广大公民的权益，民主党才有生命力，才不会沦为政治装饰品。
五、有足够的体力与耐力。政治斗争是一场持久战。身体健康不仅关系到个人的工作效率和心理状态，也体现了纪律与自律的品质。面对高压、监控、审讯甚至牢狱威胁，没有健康的体魄与坚强的意志，是无法承受长期抗争的。健康，是革命者的基本装备。
六、一定要讲信用, “信,国之宝也,民之所凭也。” 信用是政党的根基，一个失信于人的政党，注定难以持久。信用，是政治道德的基石，更是团结与胜利的关键。
七、要有勇敢精神。中国的知识分子常有理想，少有行动，缺的往往是勇气。在专制高压下坚持真理，必须敢于承担代价，敢于站出来。勇敢不是鲁莽，而是在恐惧中不退缩，在危险中不沉默。
有了以上素质，尤其是核心层的坚强保障，我们的政党才能由小到大、由弱到强。我们要以坚定的信仰唤起人心。共产党早已无药可救，民心尽失，注定在腐败与失责中自我瓦解。 “亡共者，共也”——这是历史的必然。我们不能再抱幻想与幼稚，唯有准备、行动与力量，才能捍卫民主理想。建立真正的民主中国，是我们中国民主党人义不容辞的使命。
How to Become an Outstanding Member of the China Democracy Party

Anyone who believes in freedom, the rule of law, human rights, and constitutional government is one of us; anyone who is willing to work toward building a democratic China can become a member of the China Democracy Party. To join a capable political party is to gain support — and to find hope.
So, what makes an outstanding member of the Democracy Party?
We know that to accomplish a great cause, we must first build a strong and capable core team — one that can unite and lead the broader masses forward. Members of such a team must embody the following qualities:
1. Good character.
Good character attracts people. This first manifests in integrity and self-discipline. A person who is not clean in private life is often easily tempted in political life, vulnerable to being driven by self-interest. The ability to resist temptation in the face of money and sex is the basic political bottom line.
Secondly, one must possess magnanimity. Guan Zhong, adviser to Duke Huan of Qi, understood that “a great building is not made of a single beam” and was good at employing people of all kinds, harboring no jealousy or petty grudges.
At an even higher level, good character means restraint in the face of power. George Washington voluntarily stepped down after two presidential terms, showing by his actions that power is a responsibility — not a personal asset.
Character is the foundation of a political party, the cornerstone of unity.
2. Firm belief in democracy.
A person without firm conviction cannot withstand threats, enticements, or isolation.
Democracy is not a slogan — it is a responsibility, a spirit of sacrifice.
To believe in democracy is to believe that human rights are superior to power, that the rule of law is better than rule by man, and that the people have the right to decide the fate of their country.
Remaining true under repression and unmoved by temptation is a basic requirement for a Democracy Party member.
A team without firm conviction will inevitably collapse at critical moments.
3. Organizational and communication skills.
Even the greatest ideals need to be effectively spread; even the best platforms need to be implemented through organization.
An outstanding Democracy Party member must know how to mobilize the public, organize activities, and disseminate ideas.
They should be able to go to the grassroots, speak with the people, and explain complex political principles in simple, plain language.
They must also be able to coordinate resources and carry out organized, efficient action.
Organizational ability is the bridge that brings the democratic cause into every household.
4. Representing the interests and demands of the majority.
A true Democracy Party member is not the mouthpiece of a small clique, but the bearer of hope for the majority of society.
Only by firmly representing and defending the rights and interests of the people can the Democracy Party gain vitality — and avoid becoming mere political decoration.
5. Physical stamina and endurance.
Political struggle is a long war of attrition.
Good health affects not only a person’s work efficiency and mental state, but also reflects their discipline and self-control.
In the face of surveillance, pressure, interrogation, or even prison, no one can withstand long-term resistance without a healthy body and strong will.
Health is a revolutionary’s basic equipment.
6. Trustworthiness.
“Trust is the treasure of a nation, the reliance of its people.”
Integrity is the foundation of a political party. A party that breaks faith with the people is doomed to fail.
Trustworthiness is the bedrock of political ethics — and the key to unity and victory.
7. Courage.
Chinese intellectuals often have ideals but lack action, and what they lack most is courage.
To uphold the truth under authoritarian pressure, one must dare to pay the price and step forward.
Courage is not recklessness — it is refusing to retreat in fear and remaining silent in danger.
With these qualities — especially a resilient and committed core — our party can grow from small to great, from weak to strong.
We must awaken people’s hearts through unwavering faith. The Communist Party is already beyond redemption, has lost the people’s trust, and is destined to collapse under the weight of its own corruption and failures.
“The one to destroy the Party will be the Party itself.” — this is the verdict of history.
We must shed our illusions and naivety. Only preparation, action, and strength can uphold the democratic ideal.
To build a truly democratic China is the unshrinkable mission of every member of the China Democracy Party.
