Liu Shifu,  Editor's introduction to Huiminglu (1913)

“ Today, the happiness of the common people has been taken away from the authority, and they have been trapped in a painful, humiliating, and inexplicable situation. The reason for this is the poor organization of society. If we want to save them, we must fundamentally carry out a world revolution, and destroy all the powers of the present society, and transform it into a new society filled with right and truth, then the true happiness of our common people will be possible. ”

Liu Shifu,  Let Us Forward (1913)

“ 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. ”

Liu Shifu,  Editor's introduction to Huiminglu (1913)

“ In the hope of language unification, the "Esperanto Department" has been set up to convey Esperanto to China on the one hand, and to disseminate the truth about Chinese society to the whole world on the other. In addition, documents are collected in both Esperanto and Chinese, and translated into both languages, bringing the two civilizations closer together, and leading the civilians of East Asia and the world to join hands in the sacred cause of social revolution. The Great Nation of China has no shortage of people who are far-sighted and far-seeing, and I hope they could teach me. ”
