On April 16th, today's hot topic on Weibo is the hashtag #BuyingPiratedBooksOnlyToFindHandwrittenText#, sparking discussions among netizens.
A blogger posted, claiming "Bought some outrageous pirated books, and the text is handwritten, but surprisingly, the handwriting is quite nice."
The trending event occurred in 2022, and it was reported at that time.
It is reported that a woman in Jiangsu Province received books she had purchased on Dangdang.com, only to discover that 7 pages were quite unusual, with half handwritten text and half printed. Moreover, the pages could be aligned, and the sentences could be read coherently. In response, Dangdang.com stated that it was not pirated books but rather defective prints from the publishing house.
The "handwritten pirated books" trending today are identical to the books purchased online by a woman from Jiangsu province two years ago, as revealed by comparing the texts.
It is reported that some marketing accounts, in order to increase readership and gain more followers, spare no effort to "rehash old news," seeking attention and grabbing traffic.
