Fan Meizhong Incident

In 2008, a post by Fan Meizhong was spread among netizens prompting discussion. Fan wrote a description of several members of Peking University's history faculty, including Deng. He described Deng as a woman who, "never dresses up [and] completely lacks any feminine tenderness." He also lamented that, despite being Deng Guangming's daughter, she, "nevertheless seems to be nothing more than this - a woman."[7] Fan had already received attention for publishing a blog post on why he abandoned his school pupils during the Sichuan earthquake earlier in 2008.[8]
