This book is a collaborative work from Shi Yong Wei and Alexander Otis Matthews. In the book Mr. Shi wields Chinese philosophy, mathematical logic, and a formidable intellect to demonstrate how the highest arts of deception are employed against the unwary in all areas of life, from the courtroom, to games of chance, to the diamond industry. An instant classic of the Chinese-American experience, this highly inspirational book will serve as a source of motivation and wisdom to Chinese and non-Chinese people alike for generations to come.
The book is both a detailed examination of Mr. Shi's life in China and the U. S., and a critical dissection of the U. S. Federal Legal System by two men with first-hand knowledge of that system's abuses and legal deprivations. Drawing upon these two main topics, the book challenges many common misconceptions about U.S. law, culture, philosophy, and history with candor and sagacity. Applying Mr. Shi's background in science, math, and business and Mr. Matthews's background in psychology, history, and federal law, the book will challenge and expand your understanding of many Western concepts.
The authors demonstrate how the Founding Fathers of the United States designed a system of law specifically to prevent U.S. prosecutors and judges from assuming the virtually unchecked powers they presently possess, and the practical effects of that unchecked power on defendants and U.S. society in general.
Mr Shi's varied experiences include his successful business career in Manhattan, NYC, to his involvement in NYC Mah-jong and gambling houses, and his interactions with Chinese and Fujianese gangs in the city. Also presented is a never before revealed account of the NYC Chinese tour-guide business, a personal chronicling of the rise and fall of the beloved and legendary Chinese heroine "Sister Ping," and a heartwrenching account of Mr. Shi's fifteen-year plus years in federal prison, making the book a must read from this new and powerful voice in Chinese literature.
The authors also examine Chinese-black relations in the U.S., U.S. racism towards Chinese people and people of color in general, and the present disturbing climate of suspicion and vilification towards many Chinese scientists and academics working in the U.S.
The book attempts to delve into the root causes and history of the topics addressed, as opposed to just providing a surface examination, and also provides advice and insights for readers to use to prepare for and overcome the challenges presented.
Mr. Shi speaks powerfully and courageously of his struggles against the injustice he faced, using his example to speak directly to Chinese people, especially Chinese scientists and intellectuals. He warns Chinese people of the need to equip themselves with both "book smarts" and "street smarts" to survive in the current climate of suspicion and distrust towards Chinese people currently living and working in the U.S. , or in any of life's inevitable challenges.
