The public's sensitive nerves about educational fairness were also touched by him, and the incident fermented again and again.
A few days later, the official blog of People's Daily criticized Tong Zhuo's behavior of forging the identity of the college entrance examination, and then all the major programs of Hunan Satellite TV cut all the shots of Tong Zhuo and even coded his name.
