The Chinese Communist Party's authoritarian regime and Xi Jinping's dictatorship strip the people of their safety, erode freedom and democracy, trample on human dignity, and even use the lives of loved ones as leverage for threats.

To be human is to defend one's dignity. If we continue to live like dogs and pigs, enduring oppression and humiliation, what meaning does such an existence hold? Rather than living in such abject submission, it is better to resist. Even in death, one remains a person of flesh, blood, and soul.
