Fudan released a new video in celebration of its 110 anniversary on Thursday after it pulled off a short film alleged to have plagiarized another one produced by Tokyo University.

Unlike the original 4-minute 50-second video telling a story of an individual, the new video lasts more than 12 minutes, showing history of the school and students' words for its 110th birthday.

The former video entitled “To My Light” shows a female graduate in a flight suit roaming about the campus and telling about her studies at the university. But web users claimed that the video was similar to a 2014 Tokyo University video entitled “Explorer,” which features a woman in a spacesuit telling how she pursued her dream of working in the space industry.

Insisting the story was created according to the unique personal life of the school's former graduate, who is now a test flight engineer of the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, the film producer from Fudan admitted yesterday that it had used the story telling method and presenting technique Tokyo University had used for reference and apologized for any bad influence it caused to Fudan.
