Chinese sisters’ 86-page expose accuses PhD supervisor of affair with dad, academic misconduct
Document further alleges that Fu and Zeng misused university research funds for personal gain, calls into question Zeng’s academic integrity
A pair of Chinese sisters, aged 20 and 15, have exposed a decade-long affair between their father, a former professor at the prestigious Wuhan University, and his student, who is now a professor at the same institution.
Recently, they published an 86-page expose of this affair online, sparking heated discussions across social media platforms.
The sisters are targeting their father, Fu Lei, a 47-year-old former professor and doctoral supervisor at Wuhan University’s College of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences, who currently serves as the vice principal at Anhui University and is a member of the Party Committee’s standing committee.
According to circulating materials, Fu’s former doctoral student, 35-year-old Zeng Mengqi, has been involved with Fu since 2016.
The sisters experienced a shocking revelation about their father’s affair in 2018 when they discovered the online avatars he and Zeng used from the popular Japanese anime Detective Conan, while they were aged 12 and 7.
Fu allegedly used the character Conan as his avatar, while Zeng portrayed Ai Haibara. In the expose, the authors noted: “Ai Haibara is a fictional character, but the family that Zeng destroyed is real.”
