Rules equal for all

Should we be sympathetic toward the liberal arts student who topped last month's national college entrance exams but lost out on major universities for his fake ethnicity to get quota points?

There's a heated debate that took off after Peking University and Hong Kong University refused to admit the Chongqing student.

The student topped the exam in liberal arts in Chongqing, but his father, head of Wushan county's enrollment office, forged his ethnic identity to get him bonus marks given to members of ethnic minority groups.
