00:00 Viewers of News Report, you should be familiar with the news about identity theft.
00:05 We often report similar cases.
00:08 Criminals usually use their lazy identities to carry out illegal activities,
00:14 such as implementing fraud or using big ears.
00:18 In China, a 49-year-old woman recently found that her identity had been stolen.
00:25 And this theft has been going on for 30 years.
00:27 But the thief didn't do it to carry out illegal activities,
00:30 but to use her identity as a woman to live a better life.
00:35 The story began in 1934.
00:38 The woman's name is Zhu Lichun.
00:40 She took the entrance exam to a vocational school in 1990 when she was 15 years old.
00:46 But she waited for two months and did not receive the admission notice.
00:50 She thought she was out of the game,
00:51 and let her who had been determined to study to turn over a new leaf.
00:54 She was lost for a while.
00:57 Because her family's economy did not allow her to retake the exam,
00:59 Zhu Lichun could only start looking for a job.
01:02 But she had no education,
01:03 so she could only work as a low-paid waiter or salesperson.
01:08 She even picked up scrap metal and worked in resource recovery.
01:11 Zhu Lichun thought that this ordinary life was her life.
01:19 But she didn't know that she didn't receive the notice
01:23 not because she failed the exam,
01:25 but because she was taken over by someone.
01:28 The other party even took her place and let her study in the school.
01:31 She studied until graduation,
01:34 and continued to work as a bank official under the name Zhu Lichun,
01:38 and even became a manager.
01:41 In this way, she quietly stole the life that belonged to Zhu Lichun.
01:46 It's been more than 30 years.
01:48 How did it happen?
01:52 The bank that worked as a fake goods dealer investigated the case in 2020.
01:56 It was only then that it was found that her identity was questionable,
01:59 and that she was a fake Zhu Lichun.
02:00 The bank also asked the fake Zhu Lichun to solve the problem on her own.
02:04 The fake goods dealer later found the real Zhu Lichun through the middleman.
02:08 He hoped that she would write a certificate
02:10 to prove that everything was a misunderstanding,
02:12 and was willing to pay a compensation.
02:14 After Zhu Lichun learned the truth,
02:16 she was devastated.
02:18 She thought that she had a hard life
02:20 because she was replaced by someone else,
02:23 and lost the opportunity to study and receive education.
02:26 Zhu Lichun said that she had no education,
02:28 no skills,
02:29 and was looking for temporary workers.
02:31 She had a low salary and no insurance,
02:34 and even had a failed marriage.
02:36 But the other party was willing to replace her,
02:39 and not only did she have a diploma,
02:40 but also got a job without worries.
02:43 But she was completely blinded by the encouragement.
02:45 Now, after the incident,
02:47 the other party only wants to lose money.
02:50 Zhu Lichun naturally refused to accept the compensation,
02:52 and reported the case to the police,
02:54 demanding that the other party be held accountable.
02:56 But what made it hard for her to accept
02:58 was that the police cancelled the case this year
03:00 because the fake Zhu Lichun was pregnant
03:03 and had a baby.
03:04 She has not been held accountable by the law.
03:07 According to the lawyer's advice,
03:08 the citizen has the right to a name.
03:10 Zhu Lichun can file a civil lawsuit,
03:12 demanding compensation for the loss,
03:14 and claiming that the compensation was a mental injury.
03:16 But the lawsuit was a long and arduous process.
03:20 Netizens advised her to let go of the case.
03:23 Otherwise, she may not be able to keep her current job.
03:26 She has been stolen for 30 years.
03:28 If it were you, would you let go?
