2025年6月25日，中国民主党迎来了成立27周年的重要时刻。在这个意义非凡的节点上，一场庄严而热烈的庆典晚会于自由的土地——美国洛杉矶隆重举行。晚会主题为“民主之夜·荣耀之光”，不仅回顾了中国民主党自1998年成立以来风雨兼程的斗争历程，也见证了中国民主党党刊《在野党》的庄严复刊仪式与洛杉矶地委的民主换届交接。
晚会在热烈而庄重的气氛中开场，主持人鲁慧文女士以充满情感的语言欢迎各位与会者——“你们是中国民主之光的火种，是不畏危险挺身在前的民主斗士！”从1998年到2025年，整整27年，中国民主党从浙江杭州的地下斗争起步，一步步走向全球华人反抗专制的旗帜。主持人王乃一先生动情地说：“今晚，我们不只是见证历史，更是向每一位坚定信仰者致敬——因为你们，民主的旗帜始终高高飘扬。”
党员郭斌带来了歌曲《心中的日月》。党员乐在霖带来的歌曲《朋友别哭》拉开了文艺表演的帷幕。这首歌不仅是对昔日斗士的缅怀，更是对今日民主奋战者的深情慰问。主持人深情提醒：“朋友别哭，民主的路上你不是一个人在战斗！”
晚会中，中国民主党创党人及中国民主党党刊《在野党》创刊人朱虞夫先生回顾了中国民主党的创建历程，提及1998年中国民主党创立不久，便创办了党刊《在野党》。虽然刊物因中共迫害停刊，主创者被捕入狱甚至殉难，但他们无愧为中国民主自由之路上的奠基者。如今，沉寂多年之后，《在野党》终于在海外民主战士的努力下重新燃起火种，走向复刊。
伴随着热烈掌声，《在野党》复刊仪式隆重举行。中国民主党创党人、党刊《在野党》创刊人朱虞夫先生亲自上台揭幕并发表致辞，表达了对复刊的激动与对前赴后继民主战士的敬意。他指出，《在野党》的复刊不仅是对历史的延续，更是中国民主事业未竟之志的接力。
随后，中国民主党全委会主席王军涛先生、中国民主党全联总主席郑存柱先生、雕塑家与民主人士陈维明先生、中国民主党海外后援会创办人王希哲先生、资深党员唐凯先生等依次发表讲话，分享了对民主信念的坚持与展望，现场气氛庄严而热烈。
文艺演出也展现出民主运动的情感深度。歌曲《平凡之路》由赵杰演唱，道出普通人走上民主之路的不凡勇气；郑存柱先生则以口琴独奏《多瑙河之波》抒发内心激荡。康余带来歌曲《忘川彼岸》，歌声中带着苦难的回忆与希望的力量——“这不是歌，而是幸存的证词”。王乃一的朗诵《将进酒》也点燃了全场情绪，将个人豪情与时代大义交织成篇。
晚会的又一高潮，是中国民主党全国委员会洛杉矶地区委员会换届交接仪式。主持人鲁慧文女士庄重宣布：“中国民主党全国委员会洛杉矶地委换届交接仪式正式开始！”接力棒由现任主委耿冠军先生传递给新任主委王中伟先生，这一象征着权力和平交接、责任持续传承的动作，在自由世界的舞台上熠熠生辉。
耿冠军、王中伟两位主委分别发表致辞，表达对民主理念的坚守与对未来工作的承诺。副主委周云龙先生也发表讲话，呼吁更多人加入民主行列，将中国民主党的使命继续推进下去。
在最后的合影环节中，现场所有与会者合影留念，共同记录这段充满希望与热血的民主之夜。
这场晚会不仅是一次纪念活动，更是一场信仰的集体宣言。在中国民主党27年风雨历程的背后，是无数人不惧打压、不屈抗争的精神图谱。今天，他们在自由的土地上再次聚首，把被迫中断的民主之路续写下去。而《在野党》的归来，也向全世界宣示：黑暗不会永远统治，真理终将照亮中国的天空。

On June 25, 2025, the China Democracy Party marked a momentous occasion—the 27th anniversary of its founding. On this meaningful day, a solemn and spirited celebration was held in the land of freedom—Los Angeles, USA. Titled “Night of Democracy · Light of Glory,” the event not only revisited the Party’s arduous journey since its inception in 1998 but also witnessed the symbolic relaunch of its official publication The Opposition and the democratic leadership transition of its Los Angeles Committee.
The evening began in a fervent yet solemn atmosphere. Host Ms. Huiwen Lu welcomed attendees with heartfelt words: “You are the sparks of light for China’s democracy, the brave fighters who step forward despite the dangers.” From its underground beginnings in Hangzhou, Zhejiang in 1998, the China Democracy Party has become a beacon for Chinese people worldwide resisting authoritarian rule. Co-host Mr. Naiyi Wang emotionally declared, “Tonight, we are not merely witnessing history—we are honoring every true believer. Because of you, the banner of democracy has never fallen.”
Party member Guo Bin performed the song The Sun and Moon in My Heart. The artistic program officially began with Le Zailin’s rendition of Friend, Don’t Cry—a tribute to fallen comrades and a message of comfort to today’s fighters for democracy. As the host poignantly reminded the audience: “Friend, don’t cry—you’re never alone on the road to democracy.”
Mr. Zhu Yufu also recounted the founding of the China Democracy Party and its early publication of The Opposition. Though the magazine was quickly shut down by the Chinese Communist regime—its founders imprisoned or even martyred—they remain the trailblazers of China’s path to freedom. After years of silence, The Opposition has finally been revived overseas, rekindling its mission in the hands of exiled democracy advocates.
Amid thunderous applause, the relaunch ceremony for The Opposition was held with solemnity. Mr. Zhu Yufu, co-founder of the China Democracy Party and founding editor of The Opposition, took the stage to unveil the first issue and deliver an impassioned speech. He emphasized that the magazine’s revival is not only a continuation of its legacy, but also a renewed commitment to the unfinished mission of democratization in China.
Following this, several distinguished figures shared their reflections and vision, including Mr. Wang Juntao (Chairman of the National Committee of the China Democracy Party), Mr. Zheng Cunzhu (President of the Party’s United Headquarters), renowned sculptor and dissident Mr. Chen Weiming, founding member of the Overseas Support Committee Mr. Wang Xizhe, and veteran Party member Mr. Tang Kai. Their speeches reaffirmed the Party’s enduring belief in democracy and inspired all present with courage and conviction.
The evening’s artistic performances gave emotional depth to the movement. Zhao Jie’s performance of The Ordinary Road conveyed the extraordinary courage of ordinary people stepping onto the path of democracy. Mr. Zheng Cunzhu moved the crowd with a harmonica solo of Waves of the Danube, expressing his turbulent inner emotions. Kang Yu’s song On the Far Shore of the River Lethe sang of past suffering and the power of hope—“This is not a song, but the testimony of a survivor.” Mr. Wang Naiyi’s passionate recitation of Bring in the Wine further energized the audience, blending personal resolve with historical purpose.
Another highlight of the evening was the leadership transition ceremony of the Los Angeles Regional Committee of the China Democracy Party. Ms. Huiwen Lu solemnly announced: “The leadership transition ceremony of the Los Angeles Committee of the China Democracy Party is now underway!” The baton was symbolically passed from outgoing chair Mr. Geng Guanjun to incoming chair Mr.
Wang Zhongwei—an act of peaceful power transfer and enduring responsibility, shining brightly on the stage of the free world.
Both Mr. Geng and Mr. Wang delivered speeches reaffirming their dedication to democratic ideals and their commitments for the future. Vice-chair Mr. Zhou Yunlong also spoke, calling on more people to join the movement and carry the Party’s mission forward.
The evening concluded with a group photo, as all attendees gathered to commemorate this night of hope and passion.
This event was more than just a celebration—it was a collective declaration of faith. Behind the 27-year journey of the China Democracy Party lies a rich tapestry of resistance, sacrifice, and perseverance. Today, they gathered again on free soil to continue the road that was once violently interrupted. And the return of The Opposition sends a message to the world: darkness will not rule forever—truth will one day light up the skies of China.
