Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.

The fight for justice against corruption is never easy. It never has been and never will be. It exacts a toll on our self, our families, our friends, and especially our children. In the end, I believe, as in my case, the price we pay is well worth holding on to our dignity.
反腐败斗争从来就不是一件容易的事情。过去没有，将来也不会有。它对我们自己、我们的家人、我们的朋友，尤其是我们的孩子造成了伤害。最后，我相信，就像我的情况一样，我们所付出的代价值得我们保持尊严。

听着，我们知道当我们占多数的时候我们搞砸了。我们爱上了权力。我们花了太多钱，特别是专项拨款。我们经营这个地方的时候腐败太严重了。我们是有罪的。这就是我们失败的原因。
