In July 2025, Chinese state media promoted a story about a girl from Changchun, Jilin, who received an admission notice from the Air Force Aviation University, becoming the only female flight student accepted from Jilin Province that year. The head and a team member from the female pilot squad personally delivered the notice to her. This should have been an inspirational story, but it sparked a storm online. The recruitment standards for pilots in China are very strict, with even a small scar being grounds for disqualification. Yet, in the video, the girl has squinted eyes, crooked teeth, and uneven shoulders. Netizens quickly checked the Air Force’s recruitment requirements, which state that candidates cannot have squinting eyes or misaligned teeth. Adding to the controversy is the fact that her father is an alumnus of the Air Force Aviation University, leading many to suspect that she got in because of her father’s connections. The blank space for the reporting date on the admission letter further fueled these suspicions, with some mocking the lack of detail, saying, "They couldn’t even bother to write the date." Some netizens bluntly stated that her admission was all about "using her father’s influence."Join this channel to get access to perks: / @chinaobserver0 #chinaobserverAll rights reserved.⭐You can support us at: https://donorbox.org/china-observer-s...⭐For business cooperation, please contact us: business@chinaobserver.co
