Mo Wen (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 15, 2004

Poisonous Deceit is a daring and timely work written by a top-level Chinese Communist Party official in ex-President Jiang Zemin's inner circle. This explosive and revealing book offers the reader a first ever behind-the-scenes glimpse into the Party's brutal and murderous crackdown on Falun Gong. The author provides ample revealing insights into how and why his very own government is lying, deceiving, and fabricating its "evidence" against Falun Gong. He goes on to expose the so-called "self-immolation" incident in Tiananmen Square as the "greatest hoax ever to be perpetrated against the Chinese people in over 5,000 years!" This book is a 'must read' for anyone interested in knowing the real truth about Falun Gong and the Chinese Government's secret plot to frame, slander and exterminate this popular world-wide spiritual movement. This is a right to the point, 'no holds barred', tell-it-like-it-is, shocking expose' which is guaranteed to leave you speechless! For obvious security reasons, the author has chosen to identify himself using only his pseudonym, Mo Wen.

~Poisonous Deceit: How the Chinese Government (Literally) Gets Away with Murder by Lying, Deceiving, and Fabricating Its "Evidence" Against Falun Gong:

This book says it all in a nutshell: "The Chinese persecution against Falun Gong is an outright hoax!!"

Poisonous Deceit: Great Story that's Unfortunately True

This is the first-hand anonymous account of a high-level official in the Chinese Communist Party who dares to speak out against the suppression of Falun Gong a peaceful~~ meditation and spiritual practice that was outlawed in China in 1999. Newly re-released as both a downloadable PDF file and as a soft-bound book, this latest, totally updated version of Poisonous Deceit looks very different in many ways from any previous English version I've seen out there. Mo Wen, the author, paints a true-to-life picture of a Chinese government morally blinded by the pursuit of money, power and self-interest. Jiang Zemin, the president of China at the time the Falun Gong~~ persecution began, remains in total control of today's Chinese army and is described by the author as a man who ~{!0~}is rooted in all things that directly oppose goodness.~{!1~} This line is indicative of the whole book, which depicts a modern day, epic clash between good and evil... a gripping story of monumental significance. The corrupt and tyrannical Chinese government has always had a hard time facing the fact that many of its own people are embracing the ethical and moral principles that~~ Falun Gong teaches. In an effort to stop this phenomenon of ~{!0~}goodness~{!1~} from spreading, the government launched an all out smear campaign to completely destroy the reputation of Falun Gong. Furthermore, they have been systematically imprisoning and torturing anyone who refuses to give up this wholesome practice. They not only want people to stop embracing ethical and moral principles; they also want to totally crush any nonviolent efforts to oppose the government's suppression of Falun~~ Gong. This battle of ethics and moral principles versus greed and power can be vividly felt in the pages of the book; where the author himself, who seems to be practicing Falun Gong, writes, ~{!0~}I must pretend every day that I'm not aware of all these things [the government~{!/~}s greed and misuse of power] when I see Jiang in the hallway or in meetings. These are private thoughts that I keep to myself, for it is hard to know whom to trust around you.~{!1~} The deep sense of giving of oneself~~ for a greater cause; of going on in the face of an enormous burden ~{!*~}- the size of the most populous nation on earth ~{!*~}- is imprinted in the pages of Poisonous Deceit. The author goes by the pseudonym Mo Wen, which in Chinese means silently writing. However, the question remains: Is he truly a "high-level Chinese official~{!1~}? Is his claim that~{!0~}7,000 Falun Gong practitioners have died at the hands of the government, in fact the case? Does he really have a network of informants~~ working inside China's labor camps? Actually, there seems to be no way to know for sure if all of this is 100% true. However, the overall message seems to eerily align with current events that are unfolding in China. Human rights organizations have the names of nearly 1,000 Falun Gong practitioners who have died from the government's suppression; hundreds of thousands of practitioners are known to have been put in labor camps, mental hospitals, and prisons; and there is a large body of concrete~~ evidence showing that the self-immolation of five Falun Gong practitioners publicized by China's state-owned media in 2001 was a completely staged event. Read this book if you want to really know what is going on behind the scenes in China's war against Falun Gong. What you find out will definitely shock you!~

5.0 out of 5 stars True Picture of the Behind Scenes of the Evil-to-the-core CCP, January 17, 2012

This book blows the cover of the Chinese Communist Party and their brutal campaign against Falun Gong. If you want to read a book that just tells it like it is, then grab this book, fast. The CCP is a cult organization that cannot tolerate goodness. It is a totally deformed and warped. Terribly evil. The CCP can't tolerate Falun Gong because the CCP is against the tenants of Falung Gong. Falun Gong's practice is based on Truth, Compassion, and Forbearance, however, the CCP's tenants are based on lies, brutality, and it opposes anything that is good and wholesome. The book, you will find, is a very easy read and very reasonably priced.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why I Suspect The Writer Isn't Who He Claims To Be, March 31, 2006

By 

Bobby Fletcher (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Poisonous Deceit -- How the Chinese Government (Literally) Gets Away with Murder by Lying, Deceiving, and Fabricating its "Evidence" Against Falun Gong (Paperback)

After reading it I feel the claim that it is written, or translated writing of a child of top-level inner-circle official to Jiang Zeming, to be not credible.

First, the degree of polish observed suggests it is not written by a non-native speaker. People in China receive poor English foundation and there are cultural nuances of the English language most foreign writer can't master. Yet someone from inner Jiang circle writes perfect British-style English? Despite of their likely age and education opportunity of their generations?

So the claim is that it is translated. There are several questions there. Customarily Chinese authors do not use Roman abbreviations; they attribute anonymity thru poetic pseudonyms, e.g. "Old Oak" or something.

When compared to other translated work originating from the Falun Gong dissident literatures, there're glaring differences in my opinion: complexity of sentence, verbiage and verboseness, presence/lack of literal/translated idioms, construction of paragraphs and transition. These comparisons suggest the booklet lacked signatures of translated work of similar context and origin.

For example, the booklet makes a reference to a distinct western idiom "dumb fox" (or "cunning/sly fox") which isn't a literal translation from Chinese - do you really think a 70 or 50 year old CCP official would write a whole subchapter expounding on an English idiom? It's not a Chinese idiom nor so well meshed to be a translation. The Chinese idioms I know of (Like "Lao Hu Li") don't carry the context into the subchapter.

Another sign this might be a fake is how the document came forth. Initially the Chinese version of the book was not available, only in English. "Original" Chinese version of the booklet came out months after if I recall. Also there lacked authentication of the original manuscript/material.

Perhaps it'll never be authenticated, and I would venture a guess that it's because this booklet might be a fake.
