"Who's Xing Lan?"
"She's the contestant in the recent singing competition that directly advanced to top 100..."
"Oh, what happened with her?"
"Apparently, she was disqualified three years ago from a singing competition because she stole from the organizers. Who would of thought, three years later, she'd compete again with a different name."
"So she's a thief? How could she advance with a dark past like that?"
"She must be shameless. She thought people wouldn't recognize her if she changed her name and appearance, but she ended up being discovered anyway. This is what you call karma..."
This was not the first time that a contestant of a competition-style programme had a scandal. Over the years, it had happened many times. But, this was Xing Lan's second time being the protagonist of a scandal and appearing on the news. So, the internet erupted with complaints. After all, thieves were especially hated in society and many people were strongly deterred by it.
