Translation:Let Us Forward

by Liu Shifu

⁠"The Republic of China is called a republic, but it is actually an autocracy", this statement is spread everywhere in today's society, and it can not be denied. The cruelty of the Manchurian government in dealing with the revolutionary party has been heard all over the world, and can Yuan Shih-k'ai government today be any better than the Manchurian government? In the Manchu era, there was no such thing as a socialist party or anarchist party. Since the Republic of China, the two begin to emerge. Yuan Shih-k'ai suddenly has numerous enemies in addition to the political revolutionary party. He, like a bandit, hates us the owners of China and is at odds with us. Therefore, a few months after his accession, he ordered the dissolution of the "Socialist Party", which advocated anarchy, and after he defeated the Kuomintang, he was so proud of himself that he took the opportunity to order the dissolution of the "Chinese Socialist Party", which did not support anarchy, and killed Chen Yilong, a member of its Beijing branch. The petty thieves in the provinces were willing to accept his orders, so Fen Fen from the "Socialist Party" was shot dead in Tongzhou for other matters. At this time when the wind was swirling around and the waves were so strong, our anarchist newspaper, Huiminglu, appeared. In less than 20 days, Long Jiguang forcibly banned our publishing, interrogated our comrades, and ravaged our groups of the Cock-Crow Society. After we moved to Macau, we were planning to revive our flag. Yuan Shih-k'ai ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to notify the Portuguese Minister to prohibit the publication, again. Portugal is an autocratic republic that is between a donkey and a horse, which isn't different from the small shadow of China, and its government of Macau is particularly tyrannical and unreasonable, so they are happy to comply with it and prohibit the publication of the Huiminglu in order to show its sympathy for the Chinese bandit. Another thing is: Li Yuanhong opened the postal mail and got the Cock-Crow Society's notifications, and then telegraphed Yuan Shih-k'ai, who then sent telegrams to all provinces, asking them to take strict measures such as taking the ban. Such actions are not worth our time to introduce, but we can also see the treatment of the people's traitors to our party, as they have used every method.

⁠Today, the anarchic spirit of China has been almost completely destroyed. Despite it, it is not surprising that our party, with its purpose of opposing power and its movement against power, has been devastated by the bandit. It is not enough to discourage us. From now on, our efforts are twice as deep as before, and our responsibilities are twice as heavy as before, so we should regard the brutality of the people's traitor as good material for our advocacy. If their brutality increases by one degree, our strength must increase by one degree, and the psychological dislike of the government by the civilians must increase by one degree. Such a period of anarchy is not far off. My dear comrades! Be more determined! More vigorous! No slackness! Without fear! To the city of extermination of the powers! Anarchists are happy to be killed and humiliated! But the final song will be sung by us, and we dare to say it!

⁠Vive la anarchy!

⁠Let us forward!
