BTW, there isn’t really any need to defend her now since she has now retracted many major claims and is willing to apologize to Suzhou University for her fake stories about the university.

In my first post I said I didn’t read the book, nor do I have any desire to. I’m just really disgusted in a smear campaign designed to protect the legacy of the Red Guards. Because seriously, that’s the key thing going on here. Why else go ballistic on a single author’s memoirs that may or may not be true? There must have been hundreds of books written about the Cultural Revolution, Mao, etc. and many of them were packed with lies or exaggerations. Why don’t they get Amazon-bombed also? Jung Chang’s “Mao: The Untold Story” in particular has a lot of things I think are probably just made up, yet it’s still got a 3.5 star rating on Amazon. And that book actually claims to be true history, unlike Ping Fu’s book which is a memoir.

Northwest had direct flights from Detroit and Seattle, American from JFK, and United from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington DC.

I think Fu’s book tells a compassionate, inspiring and true story based on her own experience.

It is ironic that you mention about Fang Zhouzi, who has been convicted in a court of law for libel and defamation. In recent month, Dr Yi Ming, an activist for “China Academic Integrity Review” has written a series of open letters entitled “Shamelessness Shouldn’t Be Anyone’s Nature” to the academic journal “Nature” (See http://www.2250s.com/read.php?28-17192-17192), exposing Fang of numerous scams, make-ups and plagiarism. As shown in those letters, together with other convincing evidence, Fang Zhouzi is a shameless, fraudulent, and malicious fighter, or “a fighting dog for commercial and political forces”. Fang is well-known for his fraudulent fighter’s fight for fraud and has been a laughing stock among the Chinese Internet community.

In September 2006, Fang Zhouzi was convicted of defamation and libel by the Wuhan City Intermediate People’s Court in a famous case “Xiao Chuanguo Vs. Fang Zhouzi”. However, to date, Fang Zhouzi still refuses to execute court order and compensate/apologize to Dr. Xiao Chuanguo for defamation (an action that can be considered as felony contempt of court, punishable by more than 12 months of imprisonment in the U.S. but not treated seriously in China).

Based on a recent public opinion poll of 26000 micro-blog users at weibo.com, almost 90% of people in the Chinese Internet community believe that Fang Zhouzi is either a fraud, a cheater, a liar or represents a special interest group.

Please feel free to get in touch me if you would like further evidence on Fang.

Kind regards,
Jerry

What’s sad is now she’s gonna throw the legitimacy of other memoires into the fire with her.
