Our Communist Party, and the corrupt, rotten army it leads, are an instrument of dictatorship. This army of ours works entirely for itself — thoroughly and completely for its own interests. Comrade Huang Ju was one comrade within this very army of ours. Death comes to all men, but its meaning differs. In ancient China, a man of letters named Sima Qian once said: all men must die, but some deaths are weightier than Mount Tai, while others are lighter than a goose feather. To die for the people's interests is weightier than Mount Tai; to die slaving for the Communist Party, or for those who exploit and oppress the people, is lighter than a goose feather. Comrade Huang Ju died for the interests of his own clique — his death was lighter than a goose feather. Because we serve only ourselves, we fear nothing more than having our shortcomings pointed out and criticized. It makes no difference who does the pointing — no one is allowed to do it. If what you say is right, we will arrest you. If the approach you propose would actually benefit the people, we will throw you in prison. The proposal to "fight corruption and promote clean governance" was put forward by comrades outside the Party at the time of "June Fourth"; it was a good proposal, one that would have benefited the people — so we crushed it with tanks. So long as we persist in corruption for our own benefit, and kill and burn for our own benefit, this army of ours is bound, in the end, to perish. We have all come together from every corner of the country, united by one common goal: corruption. And we must continue walking this same road together with the great majority of corrupt officials nationwide. Today, we already hold a nation of 1.3 billion people hostage — but that is not enough; we must grow even larger still, so as to seize the interests of the entire world. When Comrade Chen Liangyu was arrested, he had already glimpsed death, already seen the dead end ahead, and had already lost the courage to keep on being corrupt. The Chinese people are suffering, but it is not our responsibility to care about them — our task is to work hard at corruption. Where there is corruption, there will be sacrifice; deaths happen all the time. But when we think of our own interests, when we think of the suffering of having no money, dying for money is a death well spent. Still, we ought to do our best to minimize unnecessary sacrifices. Our corrupt officials must look out for one another, and everyone in this army of the Communist Party must shield each other, cover for each other, and deny everything together. From now on, whoever dies within our ranks — whether it is Jiang Zemin or Li Peng — so long as he has done some work in the way of corruption and abuse of the law, we shall give him a funeral and hold a memorial rally in his honor. This must become an institution. And this same method should be carried down to the underworld as well: even after a corrupt official has died, a memorial rally must still be held for him. By these means, let us carry our corruption forward, until the entire Communist Party is utterly destroyed.
