Chinese Super Girl (Shang Wenjie) Attacked

China's Super Girl, Shang Wenjie is being attacked by netizens.

Shang Wenjie, a Fudan University student majoring in French, is rated as one of the top five best Chinese-French simultaneous interpreters in Shanghai.

However, apparently after publishing a Chinese poem online, with some five basic errors in nine short lines that 'even elementary school pupils don't make'...Chinese bloggers think they may have found this supergirl's weakpoint....Chinese grammar.

Oh..."If she could be one of the top five simultaneous interpreters in Shanghai, how could the French hope to communicate with the Chinese?" asks another.

But, I thought poems didn't have to follow the rules, no?

And can anyone understand the French even when you can understand them?

What difference would it make in the long run...if the girl is, well, super girl? She could just insist she is right. And if her detractors didn't like it she could fling them north beyond her fortress of solitude.

Even celebs in China can't escape the microscope, eh?

What do you think?
