The Son Of Qinghua

by Shi Yong Wei, Alexander Otis Matthews

Overview

Son Of Qinghua: Shi Yong Wei's 15-Year Prison Saga After Being Falsely Convicted In The U.S. Federal Legal System
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 NYC gangs. 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.

About the Author

Shi Yong Wei grew up on the campus of Qinghua University until the age of nineteen, when he left to obtain a B.S. in architecture from the South China University of Technology in Guangzhou before coming to the U.S. He later opened two gift shops in Manhattan before being framed under false evidence by a cabal of his business competitors. After a sham trial, he was convicted of extortion and assault, and given a nearly twenty-year prison sentence. His parents were both prominent professors at Qinghua University, and he brings a broad range of knowledge in business, sales, science, and U.S. and Chinese philosophy and culture to this undertaking. Alexander Otis Matthews grew up between Washington, DC and his father's family farm in Farmville, Virginia. He received a B.A. in psychology from North Carolina State University and an M.A. in clinical and community psychology from the University of the District of Columbia. He is the author of "My-America: A Memoir On Justice And Race In The U.S. Federal Legal System " and "Of What Race Were The Ancient Egyptians: A Brief Guide To Correcting The Modern Falsification Of Ancient History..." He comes from a family of educators in Washington, DC, and applies an extensive background in psychology, U.S. history and race relations, and federal law to this project.

The author, Alexander Otis Matthews, is a native of Washington DC, from a respected African American family involved in local government and education. He is the author of three books: " My-America: A Memoir On Justice And Race In The U.S. Federal Legal System", "Of What Race Were The Ancient Egyptians," and "Son of Qinghua: Shi Yong Wei's 15- Year Prison Saga After Being Falsely Convicted In The U.S. Federal Legal System." In addition to being a writer and amateur Egyptologist he has an M.A. in clinical and comm psychology and is a trained clinical therapist who became a real estate broker and developer in the early 1990s in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC. In 2006 he purchased a project in an exclusive suburb in Clifton VA for 4.5 million dollars, and the lawyer for the seller disliked the author's racial and religious characteristics and began a four year campaign to have him investigated and prosecuted by his friends in federal law enforcement as a means of punishing him for owning a home in the private subdivision. The author was convicted in 2011 of wire fraud, but used his formal education to learn federal law and appeal his conviction on his own without an attorney. After litigating his appeal for five years, on November 5th, 2015 the Fourth Circuit finally vacated and remanded the case back to the lower court's district judge in Fourth Circuit Appeal 15-6656. The author has written this memoir to bring to the public's attention the grave issues of racial bias and injustice currently plaguing our nation's federal legal system. His story is an incredible one that he hopes will add to the public's knowledge about the very grave issues we face in our federal legal system. The hard copy book will be published and available in April 2017 by a London publisher, the paperback book will be published by Amazon on January 31st, 2017, and Smashwords is also publishing the ebook on January 31st, 2017 to its platform and all major ebook platforms. Most Americans have no idea what federal judges, prosecutors, and agents are getting away with against criminal defendants. Our current federal system system is generally not interested in winnowing truth from falsehood in the cases brought against defendants, this system wants convictions only, and is not interested in the other side of justice, the side which subjects the government's case to the rigorous scrutiny of habeas, which the U.S. Supreme Court has called a court's highest duty under law under our constitutional system. The few chapters on the author's website deal mostly with his family and educational background, but the remaining parts of the memoir addresses the issues of procedural and racial injustice carried against our nation's citizens when they find themselves entangled in the current system.. Our legal system was designed as a two-way street, not a one-way street; we In this nation are subject to the penalties of the law when accused of breaking them, but we are also subject to relief from those penalties when our constitutional rights are violated during the criminal process. Habeas lies at the center of that critical guarantee, and was instituted by our wise Founding Fathers as an essential thread in the very fabric of our legal system. Habeas was put in place as a necessary counterbalance to the human error, bias, evil design, and negligence that all humans are prone to. The Founding Fathers knew of the dangers of unchecked power, and designed habeas to even and balance our legal playing field. The power we as a society currently vest in our federal prosecutors and judges has far exceeded the reasonable bounds the system was designed for. The author demonstrates in a painstaking manner in the memoir how the prosecutors and judge in his case tried at every turn to avoid his habeas claims, acting in square violation of their own law, and soiling the judicial soul of the legal system we ask others around the world to practice with us. If we could trust federal prosecutors, agents, and judges, the Founding Fathers wouldn't have felt the need to give us habeas. When confronted with the author's habeas claims, the government and the judge acted to brazenly obfuscate and avoid adjudication of those claims, knowing the claims had laid bare the illegality and corrupt nature of the case against him . The author encountered untold men in the system subjected to these and other types of legal charades, and realized it is all too common, thus he decided to write this memoir not only for himself, but for the many whose stories would never be told. Read a first hand and in-depth account of what our federal legal system has come to represent far too often for our nation's citizens.
