我是中国民主党员吕聪，热爱自由，崇尚民主，为此愿意投入自己的一腔热血，看不惯的一党专政，也恨醒不来的中国人民。
从被动顺从到今日觉醒，我坚信今日不做出头鸟，来日就是笼中鸡，你以为的事不关己，明哲保身，最终就是陷入被控制的境地，你不站出来，就等着别人替你决定命运。
所以，我踏上行程，义无反顾，前往旧金山，抗议习近平，我加入民主党，与自由同行。我去中领馆，反对中共暴政；我去星光大道，讲述中国人权现状；我去雕塑公园，纪念被遗忘的历史；我去六四纪念馆，了解那段沉痛的过去。
我一直在努力，不曾忘记心中的信念，哪怕这段路很艰难，哪怕这段路很恐惧，我也会一直坚持走下去。

Setting Out on the Journey, Without Looking Back
I am Lü Cong, a member of the China Democracy Party. I love freedom and uphold democracy, and for these ideals I am willing to devote all my passion. I cannot tolerate one-party dictatorship, nor can I bear to see the Chinese people remain in slumber.
From passive obedience to awakening today, I firmly believe that if we do not stand up now, tomorrow we will be like chickens trapped in a cage. What you think is “none of your business” or “keeping your head down” will, in the end, lead to a life under control. If you do not stand up, you are leaving your fate for others to decide.
That is why I have set out on this journey, without hesitation, to San Francisco to protest Xi Jinping. I have joined the Democracy Party, walking side by side with freedom. I have gone to the Chinese Consulate to oppose the tyranny of the Chinese Communist Party; I have gone to the Hollywood Walk of Fame to speak about the current state of human rights in China; I have gone to Sculpture Park to commemorate history that has been forgotten; I have gone to the June Fourth Museum to learn about that painful past.
I have been striving all along, never forgetting the conviction in my heart. Even though this road is hard, even though it is filled with fear, I will keep walking it—steadfast and unyielding.
