A case of academic identity fraud spanning over seven years has resurfaced, with the younger brother publicly addressing the controversy. On August 11, Tang Xiangxi revealed to media in Beijing that during the 2001 college entrance examination, his older brother used the name Tang Xiangdong to enroll at Xiangtan University, while Tang Xiangxi—who had chosen to repeat his senior year—later changed his name and was admitted to China's Renmin University the following year.[1] Both brothers were originally surnamed Pan, with the older brother's original name being Pan Tao.[1]
The dispute escalated after the siblings became embroiled in a property dispute that led to litigation.[1] Following Tang Xiangxi's report of the identity impersonation, Xiangtan University revoked Tang Xiangdong's academic credentials.[1] This action triggered an extended legal battle spanning more than seven years involving multiple rounds of administrative litigation.[1] In 2026, Tang Xiangdong filed a fresh lawsuit against Xiangtan University, with the case scheduled for hearing in the coming period.[1]
