Always on the Road, Journeying Toward Democracy and Freedom
我是鲁慧文，是一名坚定的中国民主党党员，也是《在野党》杂志社副总编辑暨副社长。公开反共、追求民主自由是我多年来的夙愿。是的，我醒来快三十年了！
初中时，我就质疑课本上的谎言，常与同学激烈辩论，坚持认为共产主义不存在。我是那个对政治和历史课本满心怀疑，却不得不在扭曲的思想灌输中忍耐前行，年年拿第一，最终考到文科状元的“怪孩子”。
我醒得太早，在国内找不到同类，身边人视我为另类，久而久之甚至怀疑自己有病。“翻墙”后才知道这是“政治抑郁”，原来我并不孤独，我没有疯！
如今，我终于站在自由民主的土地上，找到了并肩追求中国民主自由的战友。我将永远在这条路上前行，义无反顾地奔向民主与自由！

Always on the Road, Journeying Toward Democracy and Freedom
—— By Huiwen Lu
My name is Huiwen Lu. I am a steadfast member of the China Democracy Party and the Deputy Editor-in-Chief and Vice President of The Opposition Party magazine. Publicly opposing the Chinese Communist Party and pursuing democracy and freedom has been my long-standing conviction. Yes—it’s been nearly thirty years since I woke up!
In middle school, I began questioning the lies in our textbooks. I often engaged in fierce debates with classmates, insisting that communism did not and could not exist. I was that “strange kid” who harbored deep doubts about our political and history classes, yet endured the distorted indoctrination, ranking first in my class year after year—eventually becoming the top liberal arts student.
I awakened far too early, and in China, I could find no kindred spirits. People around me saw me as eccentric. Over time, I even started to wonder if I was mentally ill. It was only after I “climbed over the firewall” that I discovered the term “political depression.” I realized—I was not alone. I was not crazy.
Now, standing on free and democratic soil, I have finally found comrades who share the same pursuit for China’s democracy and freedom. I will always walk this road, pressing forward without hesitation, resolutely marching toward democracy and freedom!
