CATDOLL: The winning work of the "Peking University Peiwen Cup" is suspected of plagiarizing the "Hetalia" fan fiction

Many people are familiar with the work "Hetalia" by Japanese manga artist Himaruya Hidekazu. The lighthearted and funny atmosphere of the work is well received by readers, and there are countless related peripherals and fan works. Recently, a high school student's award-winning essay was found to be suspected of plagiarizing a "Hetalia" fan fiction published on Tieba!

According to reports, in the 2015 2nd "Peking University Peiwen Cup" National Youth Creative Writing Competition, a composition titled "Lightning" won the first prize and was included in the book "Listening to the Voice of the Future: Outstanding Works of the "Peking University Peiwen Cup" National Youth Creative Writing Competition". However, careful netizens later discovered that the content of this winning composition was plagiarized from the "Hetalia" fan fiction "Unfinished Statue" and the similarities between the two articles were made public.

According to the official website of the Peking University Peiwen Cup, the organizing committee of the National Youth Creative Writing Competition is organizing expert judges to carefully review Wang Yilin's final work "Lightning" and will announce the review conclusion as soon as possible.

In response, netizens have commented: "They even don't let go of fan fiction." "Do fan fiction works really have copyright?" "I hope the publishing industry can respect the hard work of others more."

In addition, according to the comparison of netizens, it is also suspected of plagiarizing two works, "Amber and Lead" by AOI Aoi and "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Xun Yeyu.
