我是来自安徽芜湖一个普通农民家庭。在中国生活了四十多年后，最终于2023年5月逃离了中国大陆。离开后，我才敢把在中国真实的生活经历写下来，希望让更多海外的人了解：中共所宣传的“盛世繁荣”完全是一场谎言。

一、来自长辈的血泪记忆

我的外公在上世纪六十年代所谓“三年自然灾害”中饿死。我母亲说外公的尸体停放一夜后，第二天早上她看到外公的眼睛被老鼠吃掉了。难以想象，那是个怎样饥荒的年代，老鼠饿得都能啃食人类的尸体。直到今天，她谈起这一幕仍然内心恐惧。所谓的“自然灾害”，实则是中共荒唐政策制造的人祸。什么大跃进、人民公社、大炼钢铁…….都是违背人性和经济规律的一场场闹剧。然而承担后果的确是普普通通的中国民众。在那场饥荒中有多少人被饿死，多少家庭毁灭，酿成一幕幕的人间悲剧。

八十年代，噩梦再次降临。计划生育运动如同一场国家暴力。我舅母怀孕七个月时，被人举报。干部上门威胁：要么打掉孩子，要么拆掉房子。最后，在外公万般无奈下（后外婆改嫁），舅母被迫流掉了本该健康出生的孩子。这不仅仅是一次堕胎，而是中共政府强迫家庭亲手“杀死”自己的骨肉。这是怎样的一个反人类邪恶政权？！

二、一套只为压榨民众设计的制度

中共的统治，不仅给我的父辈带来了难以磨灭的伤害，也对我的人生带来各种摧残，他们更要继续的残害我的一下代。

（一）户籍制度：

在中国，我们从农村走出来的人，虽然在城市工作生活那么多年，但我们的户口仍然是在农村，所以，我们的孩子也就只能在农村接受教育，尤其到高考时，学生必须要回到原户籍地参加高考。这就造成我们这些千千万万的所谓农民工家庭无法让自己的孩子跟着父母一起在城市上学、生活，也就有了所谓的千千万万的留守儿童，这些孩子长期不能跟父母一起生活，得不到父母的关爱，心理上是很容易出问题的。我的女儿就是一个典型的例子，到了大学一年级的时候，患上了严重的抑郁症。这就是我痛恨中国的户籍制度的一根本原因，我们在城市工作、生活、纳税，也为城市的发展作贡献，为什么我们的孩子不能跟我们一起生活、学习？这就很简单，农民工为城市做贡献可以，但城市的福利就不给农民工。这就是制度的压榨和剥削！

（二）医疗制度：

医院本应该是一个救死扶伤的地方，但中国的医院却是世界上少数的商业机构，她是要以赢利为目的的，是一个牟利的机器。我的妻子因结石就医，医生直接给出两次手术的治疗方案，费用两万元。朋友介绍民间诊所，仅一千元便治愈。在中国的医院里，很多医生首先考虑的不是用怎样有效的方法来进行治疗，能减少病人的痛苦。而是哪套治疗方案能给医院带来最大的利益，或者给医生本人带来更大收益。这就造成，能粘上边的高端医疗设备都用上了，该化验的不该化验的也都化验了，有时或明或暗的要个红包。。。。病人是什么？只是医院收割的一个对象而已！所以，为什么在中国医院有那么多的所谓“医闹”就不足为怪了！就是专业的机构和专业的医生对病人进行坑、矇、骗，有少数患者发现了倪端，讨要说法，就说你是“医闹”！我不能说每个医生都是这样的，但制度在这里，人性在这里，能有几个好的？

（三）教育制度：

我的儿子在幼儿园就被灌输仇恨教育，回家张口就是“日本坏”“美国欺负中国”。这不是教育，而是洗脑。

我们为了给孩子能上好一点的学校，每个月向政府缴2600多元的社保金，结果是，我们孩子只能上一般的小学，要上好一点的学校，必须要在当地买房产。一套房产就是一百多万，是普通人能买得起的吗？如果没有买社保金，就只能上农民工子弟学校。这就是教育资源被中共政府用来掠夺民众经济的一个见证。

（四）经济制度：

中国的法制基本就是人治，经济制度亦是如此。各种经济政策因领导一句口号或一篇讲话，就能产生根本转变。根本不以市场经济规律，或者法律法规来行事。我两次创业，先是因“环保运动”，所谓“金山银山不如绿水青山”，领导人一句口号，工厂被强拆，没有任何法律流程，更没有任何经济补偿。后因领导人一句“亲自部署，亲自指挥”疫情荒唐封控导致电商崩溃。政府随时可以改变政策，让普通人多年努力瞬间化为乌有，而他们无需承担任何责任。

所以，在这样的环境下，企业很难真正的作长远发展。有的只有投机取巧，官商勾结！

三、离开的必然选择

通过这些年来我亲身的经历，我得出一个结论：中共政权不是一个以民为本的政府，而是一个不断制造灾难、压榨民众的邪恶政权。从大饥荒、计划生育，到户籍、教育、医疗，再到“动态清零”，我们一代又一代人被迫在各种的苦难中轮回。

离开中国，对我而言不是轻易的决定。那里是生我养我的土地，也有我最亲的亲人。但一个地方若只能带来一次次的伤害和绝望，若制度本身就是为压榨民众，剥夺民众的生存权利。那么我有什么理由留下呢？逃离就是必然的选择！

Why I Fled China

Abstract: The Chinese Communist Party’s rule has not only inflicted indelible harm upon my parents’ generation but has also devastated my own life. They now seek to inflict further suffering upon my children.

I come from an ordinary peasant family in Wuhu, Anhui Province. After living in China for over forty years, I finally fled mainland China in May 2023. Only after leaving did I dare to write down my true experiences of life in China, hoping to let more people overseas understand: the “golden age of prosperity” touted by the CCP is nothing but a lie.

I. Blood-Stained Memories from Elders

My maternal grandfather starved to death during the so-called “Three Years of Natural Disasters” in the 1960s. My mother recounted that after his body lay undisturbed overnight, she saw rats had gnawed his eyes out the next morning. It’s unimaginable—a famine so severe that starving rodents would devour human corpses. To this day, the memory still fills her with dread. The so-called “natural disasters” were actually man-made catastrophes created by the CCP’s absurd policies. The Great Leap Forward, the People’s Communes, the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production… all were farces that defied human nature and economic laws. Yet it was ordinary Chinese people who bore the consequences. How many perished from starvation in that famine? How many families were destroyed? It unfolded as one tragic human drama after another.

In the 1980s, the nightmare returned. The family planning campaign functioned as state-sanctioned violence. When my aunt was seven months pregnant, she was reported. Officials came to her door with threats: abort the child or face demolition of her home. Ultimately, with my grandfather left with no choice (my grandmother later remarried), my aunt was forced to abort a child who should have been born healthy. This was not merely an abortion; it was the Chinese Communist government forcing families to personally “kill” their own flesh and blood. What kind of evil, anti-human regime is this?!

II. A System Designed Solely to Exploit the People

The CCP’s rule has not only inflicted indelible harm on my parents’ generation but has also brought various forms of devastation to my own life. They intend to continue harming my next generation.

(I) The Household Registration System:

In China, those of us who left the countryside—even after working and living in cities for years—still retain rural household registrations. Consequently, our children can only receive education in rural areas. Crucially, when it comes time for the college entrance exam, students must return to their original registered hometown to take it. This forces millions of so-called migrant worker families to separate their children from their parents, preventing them from attending school and living alongside them in the city. This creates millions of so-called left-behind children. These children, deprived of their parents’ care and affection for extended periods, are highly susceptible to psychological issues. My daughter is a prime example. By her freshman year of college, she developed severe depression. This is the root cause of my hatred for China’s household registration system. We work, live, and pay taxes in cities, contributing to their development. Why can’t our children live and study alongside us? The answer is simple: migrant workers can contribute to cities, but cities deny them access to their welfare systems. This is systemic oppression and exploitation!

(II) Healthcare System:

Hospitals should be sanctuaries for healing the sick and saving lives. Yet China’s hospitals stand among the world’s few commercial institutions driven by profit—they are machines for generating revenue. When my wife sought treatment for kidney stones, doctors immediately proposed two surgeries costing 20,000 yuan. A friend recommended a private clinic that cured her for just 1,000 yuan. In Chinese hospitals, many doctors prioritize not effective treatments that alleviate patient suffering, but which treatment plan maximizes profits for the hospital or their own pockets. This leads to overuse of high-end medical equipment, unnecessary tests, and sometimes overt or covert demands for red envelopes… What are patients? Merely targets for hospitals to harvest profits! So it’s no wonder China has so many so-called “medical disturbances.” Professional institutions and doctors exploit, deceive, and swindle patients. When a few patients catch on and demand accountability, they’re labeled “troublemakers”! I won’t say every doctor is like this, but given the system and human nature, how many good ones can there be?

(III) Education System:

My son was indoctrinated with hateful propaganda as early as kindergarten. He came home spouting “Japan is evil” and “America bullies China.” This isn’t education—it’s brainwashing.

To secure a decent school for our child, we pay over 2,600 yuan monthly in social security contributions to the government. Yet our child can only attend an average elementary school. To get into a better one, we must purchase local property—costing over a million yuan. Is that affordable for ordinary people? Without these contributions, our child would be stuck in migrant worker schools. This is proof that the CCP government exploits educational resources to plunder the people’s wealth.

(IV) Economic System:

China’s legal system is fundamentally rule by man, and its economic system follows suit. Economic policies undergo radical shifts based on a leader’s slogan or speech, operating entirely outside market principles or legal frameworks. In my two entrepreneurial ventures:

First, during the “environmental campaign”—promoted by the slogan “Green mountains and clear waters are worth more than gold and silver mountains”—my factory was forcibly demolished without legal process or compensation. Later, a leader’s call for “personally deploying and commanding” pandemic control led to absurd lockdowns that crippled e-commerce. The government can alter policies at will, reducing years of ordinary people’s efforts to nothing—all without bearing any responsibility.

Thus, in such an environment, businesses struggle to pursue genuine long-term development. What remains is only opportunism and collusion between officials and businessmen!

III. The Inevitable Choice to Leave

Through my personal experiences over the years, I’ve reached this conclusion: The Chinese Communist regime is not a people-centered government, but an evil regime that constantly creates disasters and exploits its citizens. From the Great Famine and the One-Child Policy to household registration, education, healthcare, and now “dynamic zero-COVID,” generation after generation has been forced to endure endless cycles of suffering.

Leaving China was not an easy decision for me. It is the land where I was born and raised, home to my closest relatives. But if a place can only bring repeated harm and despair, if the system itself exists to oppress the people and strip them of their basic rights to survive—then what reason do I have to stay? Escape is the inevitable choice!
