FUDAN University today denied that a promotional video celebrating its 110th anniversary has plagiarized a Tokyo University publicity film.

The 4-minute-and-50-second video, entitled “To My Light” released yesterday shows a female graduate in a flight suit roaming about the campus.

However, some web users claimed that it was very similar to a 2014 Tokyo University video entitled “Explorer”, which stars a woman in  a spacesuit.

But Fudan insisted that any resemblance was coincidental.

It said its film was inspired by the story of Le Yafei, who graduated from the dynamics department in 2009.

She is now one of the two female test flight engineers at the China Commercial Aircraft Corporation.
