It was widely publicised in China that Wei Hui had plagiarized Mian Mian’s book, “Candy” for her “Shanghai Baby”. Has anyone realised that Wei Hui even also plagiarized the Chinese translated name of a Taiwan woman’s book character for her “Muju” in this new book “Marrying Buddha”, as well as ideas and material from that woman’s book ? “Muju” was the translated Chinese name of a 23-year-old tall slim beautiful Indian young man, “Muj” in that Taiwan woman’s book, “Passion of Tower Bridge” of which the story was based in London and other locations in Europe. That Taiwan woman only found out about this plagiarism one and a half months ago by accident. She has been furiously protesting to Wei Hui’s publishers in HK and London, as well as to the Mainland Chinese authorities who still keep her original book samples for already 2 and a half years. The Taiwan woman has been also furiously discussing with her worldwide online contacts about what to do about this horrible plagiarism. The woman is horrified also because “Marrying Buddha” was so badly written and is such a cheap nouveau-riche pornographic trash. Both Chinese (My Zen) and English versions of “Marrying Buddha” are huge piles of garbage !

Shanghaiist: Wei Hui to Beijing: Book banning works!
