I will tell you a joke as my beginning although I can't convince whether or not you western guys would regard the story as a joke.Well,some mouths ago,there was a piece news in China.One of the most famous young writer,Guo Jingming,plagiarized a work by another young writer,Zhuang Yu,who were not very famous.But it was interesting that the "plagiarized work" by Guo Jingming sold over 1 million copies,but the initial work by Zhuang Yu sold less than 10 thousands.And then,after the scandal exposed,lots of Guo Jingming's fans began to attack Zhuang Yu and support Guo Jingming.

Why?I think the reason is that nowaday literature have become a slave of commerce.Guo Jingming is famous as a writer just because he has some qualities of being star rather than his composing talent,of course some of his articles are good also indeed,though.

Friends,could you tell me whether this kind of phenomenon appeared in your country?
