Chinese official reportedly helps his daughter get into university by stealing a classmate’s name and ID number
According to the BBC’s China correspondent James Reynolds, members of the Chinese public are outraged that a police official helped his daughter get into university by stealing another student’s identity.
The state media is reporting that the official, Wang Zhengrong, stole the name and ID number of his daughter’s classmate, who scored much higher on the country’s national college entrance exam
That classmate, Luo Caixia, had to spend another year in school in order to re-take the exam, while Wang’s child took her spot in school.
Luo eventually got a spot at another university, and is now seeking “legal measures” to solve the problem.
She says that it has been impossible for her to earn the graduation and teaching certificates she is working towards because someone else is using her name.
Reynolds has provided some translated comments on the story, which include:
