To the Rumor-Mongers: The Internet Is Not a Legal Vacuum!
This young lady has been posting on several of the largest Chinese-language BBS forums. Naturally, my posts are quite popular -- traffic and replies are massive every day. Any random post gets hundreds of replies. Just yesterday on one website, 4 hours produced over 400 replies and nearly 10,000 clicks, to the point that moderators have to constantly lock threads. This young lady fully understands that men have no real abilities yet cannot stand seeing her shine -- poetry, mathematics, physics, music, philosophy, capital markets, and so on, not a single area where they can compete with this young lady. But this does not constitute a reason for certain people to deliberately fabricate facts to defame her.
This young lady actually doesn't care much about such things. My strategy is simple: post my long-form articles in the replies, along with a link to my blog (http://blog.sina.com.cn/m/chzhshch). Free advertising like this, I'm not going to waste. The good news is that in just over ten days, my blog has already had over 60,000 views -- a pretty impressive level for a new blog.
Although this kind of behavior can only benefit me, making my screen name more famous and my articles more widely read, the internet is NOT a legal vacuum! This kind of behavior will inevitably become a major social problem in the future. I am merely using this fresh example to illustrate the issue. This problem must receive attention. As for the incident itself, it was always meant to test a person's judgment. Anyone who can be deceived by something like this -- the only advice I have for them is: whatever you do, don't go play in the speculative markets, or you'll lose everything.
Finally, I attach these two posts that were widely circulated across several of the most popular BBS forums. Please also carefully compare the rumor-mongers' techniques -- there are already two versions, more than enough for comparison.

"Math Girl" has been showing off online all day -- everyone hates her, even dogs despise her. Based on information provided by "Not Counting Rule-Breaking," below is the real identity of Math Girl, pending approval from Office 13:
Girl Who Likes Mathematics
Real name: Zhao Donghui
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Native place: Shaoyang, Hunan
Occupation: IT staffer
Graduated from: Changsha Normal School
Appearance: Refined, not good at talking
Workplace: A computer peripherals wholesale shop in Zhongguancun, Beijing. Switched jobs on the sixth day of the lunar new year and left over 7,000 yuan in unpaid goods.
What happened: One day, netizen "Not Counting Rule-Breaking" had dinner and chatted with a friend who runs a shop in Zhongguancun. At the table was a polite, quiet male employee. During introductions, that friend emphasized to "Not Counting": "Donghui is a real talent. He looks low-key in real life, but online he's a major player who can stir up storms -- absolutely a talent."
During the New Year holiday, "Math Girl" did not go home, and netizen "Not Counting" asked "Math Girl" to teach him computers. Their conversation was as follows:
"Not" asked: How do you play with computers?
Math Girl: I can't teach it in a few words. I'm posting on Tianya right now.
"Not": What posts? Is it fun?
Math Girl: On Tianya -- it's insanely exciting. You can forget eating, drinking, peeing, everything.
"Not" asked: I don't think it's that fun?! How do you play it?
Math Girl: To enjoy Tianya, you have to post threads, and you need high-reply-rate threads for it to be fun.
"Not": Then do you have threads there??
Math Girl said with a smile: I've posted a lot. Around here, his threads get the highest reply rates. He can sway huge groups of people!~~~
"Not": Isn't that just bragging?!~
Math Girl said proudly: My education and level may be lower than theirs, but I'm way better than them. I can make all those so-called talents dance circles around me.~
"Not" asked: What exactly is going on?~
Math Girl said: Because I'm smarter than they are. I handled them with intelligence.~
Later, this person switched jobs and owed the boss 7,000 yuan in unpaid goods. "Math Girl's" online identity was later reconfirmed by an employee who had worked and gone online with "Math Girl."
Now "Not Counting Rule-Breaking" is willing to confront "Math Girl" face-to-face, dares to publish his home address, and wants the money for goods repaid. Anyone with information, please disclose Math Girl's IP address.
I Was Math Girl's Former Colleague -- Let Me Expose Him!

Ashun (a friend) just emailed me saying Zhao Zhijun (Math Girl) is now an internet celebrity, setting up arenas online every day, posting threads, picking fights with people, haha. Ashun said, why not just expose him already. I said fine.
Math Girl's real name is Zhao Zhijun, early 30s, from Yangzhou, Jiangsu, graduated from Nanjing University's philosophy department. After graduation he worked at institutions including the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, and the General Administration of Customs. He resigned last summer and now lives near Shagou in Haidian, Beijing, claiming to be a freelance writer.
These were taken last May when some colleagues from the General Administration of Customs went to Beijing's Yuyuantan Park. Zhao Zhijun appears in several photos; this one was captured by chance and is the clearest.
As for why Zhao Zhijun pretends to be female, I have no idea at all. I never noticed this issue before.
---------------------
KDNet staff reminded me: publishing other people's photos could trigger a lawsuit, so I had to delete them. Very sorry!!!
