Woman to file suit against suspect after ID theft foiled college dream

Chen Chunxiu of Guanxian county, Shandong province, has decided to file a lawsuit against a woman who was admitted into university 16 years ago by stealing Chen's identity, according to a statement from Chen on Wednesday.

"To deal with the impostor in this case, I will use the law to defend my legal rights and interests," Chen said in the statement.

The alleged impostor, also surnamed Chen, is also from Guanxian and was suspended from her job at a community office in the county on June 11, one day after a joint investigative team consisting of officials from the county's commission for discipline inspection and supervision, public security and education was launched.
