David Tsai, a Chinese-American residing in Southern California, specifically flew from Orange County to Arizona to attend a memorial service for Charlie Kirk at the Arizona State Farm Stadium. He expressed that Kirk awakened Americans through debate, and his significance is profound as his death can awaken freedom-loving people worldwide.
Upon learning of Kirk’s assassination, Tsai said, “Tears welled up in my eyes. Perhaps I regarded him as another brother, born of different mothers. So, I was deeply shocked, shedding tears for him.”
“I don’t usually cry for others. But for Kirk, maybe because we both share the same faith in God, I am truly saddened by his passing.”
Speaking about Kirk’s significance to America, Tsai stated that he symbolizes the right of Americans to speak freely, to speak the truth without fear.
“He was truly a great debater. He never quarreled with others. He always engaged in arguments with others using reason, logic, and principles.”
Tsai added, “Due to the advancement of Western values over the past century, no longer resorting to bullets and knives, we now engage in political confrontations through voting and debate. Therefore, he embodies this spirit, which I find very commendable.”
Moreover, Tsai expressed his admiration for Kirk: “He was a great father, husband. He was a faithful messenger of God. Hence, I admire him greatly.”
Tsai enjoyed watching Kirk’s debates on YouTube: “I don’t watch mainstream media television because it’s deceptive. So, I often watch videos on YouTube, especially debates featuring Charlie Kirk in schools. I watch around five to six debates per week, almost one every day.”
Reflecting on communism’s impact on the world, Tsai claimed that communism is like cancer spreading globally, causing detrimental impacts.
“Communism is like cancer. It not only resides within you but expands until it eventually kills you. That’s communism for you.”
He elaborated, “I escaped from tyranny to the free world, so I understand their (the Chinese Communist Party) actions very well. My family and ancestors have suffered greatly from their persecution.”
“My grandfather returned to China from the United States to help build the ‘New China,’ but ended up being labeled as a rightist. I remember him telling me, ‘Once you reach America, don’t come back, don’t bother with those old sayings. America will love you.'”
He further explained, “Communism has two versions. One is class struggle, trying to overthrow the wealthy or asset owners.”
“However, in the case of America, as capitalism thrived before, once the middle class emerged, this approach no longer worked and utterly failed. Now, they have resorted to a new packaging, what I call ‘Communism 2.0,’ focusing on ‘gender and race.’ They use this packaging to attack our core values, our families, our faith, and so on.”
In conclusion, he emphasized that communism is “the greatest enemy of humankind.”
