三工: Putting 2 words together adds up to Jiang (river). Jiang ZeMin it is.

月月鸟: Putting them togeher is the first name of Li Pang, a former Premier notorious for his role in June 4th Incident.

不厚: It means "not thick", so Bo XiLai it is. (Bo means thin)

真人: This is a wild guess. There is a Chinese saying "真人不露相". So it may refer to a figure that keeps a very low key. Hu JinTao is known for exactly that.
Haha, yes, you are right for almost all of them except the last one, which refers to 赵紫阳。 You probably know where the connection lies if you have read enough Chinese fantasy/swordsman novels.

I think the one about Bo Xilai is pretty ironic, since Bo is known to be harsh toward his subordinates.
