Taiwan's highest paid model Lin Chi-ling (林志玲) last week was moved to tears, yet again. Showing her degree diploma from the University of Toronto to the media, Lin insisted it was for real and that she had graduated as a history and economics double major. Weeks ago there was an Internet chatroom rumor that Lin's degree was fake. Local media began to interrogate her about the issue and last Friday Lin gave her answer. "I've never thought of using my degree to promote myself. I just appreciate very much the public's concern about my background," she said in a Great Daily News story. In an analysis piece, however, the paper went on to say that a BA from the University of Toronto is "not difficult to get." The paper compared Lin's degree with Lee Hom Wang (王力宏), who graduated from Williams College, and Faith Yang (楊乃文), who graduated from Sydney University, and Linda, who graduated from Canada Queen's University. Compared with these schools, Lin's degree is easy to get, concluded the newspaper, showing the model no mercy.
