It’s hard to believe that already in the 21st century there are people who still think what physical appearance has something to do with intelligence of a person or by his performance in any field.

However, instead of receiving support and congratulations as expected, the woman was viciously attacked because “She’s too pretty to be an Oxford graduate.”

The girl, who is 28, posted a video of her receiving the title on the Chinese social network Weibo. And immediately many users accused Zhu of they falsified its title.

Zhu not only managed to get a PhD in mathematics from the University of Oxford, but also the young girl also obtained the highest marks of its course, according to reports South China Morning Post.

But Zhu’s doctorate was an accomplishment many social media users refused to believe, judging her by her looks, arguing that the postgraduate didn’t look like a “typical outstanding student”.

“Judging from his videos and the smug posts he’s written, I can tell she is actually a WeChat businesswoman who sells things Established an image like a beautiful academic elite to attract the public,” accused a user.

Zhu told her followers that she had been trying to keep busy and distracted from the attacks she had been dealing with, and despite some nasty comments, she had also “received a lot of encouragement and sincerity.”

Since posting the video, the young woman has supported him “I experienced a lot of emotions in the last semester“. “Does revealing selfies mean that the person is not good at studying? It’s time to break this stereotype. I just mean that as long as the stereotype exists, it should be slapped. What does not kill you only makes you stronger!”
