Plagiarism and Privilege: When Fame Trumps Integrity The case of Jiang Fangzhou, a Chinese literary prodigy accused of plagiarism, has sparked widespread outrage in China.
The revelation that she plagiarized material has led to the revocation of her master's degree from Tsinghua University's journalism school, where she was admitted with preferential treatment due to her fame.
Jiang's rise to prominence began at age seven when she started writing and published her first book three years later.
