Fu Lei, a 47-year-old former professor at Wuhan University and current Vice President of Anhui University, is facing allegations of academic and professional misconduct. Two of his daughters released an 86-page document accusing him of maintaining an improper relationship with a former doctoral student since 2016.

The dossier includes claims of academic fraud, misappropriation of research funds, and the misuse of state resources. Additionally, the daughters alleged that Fu abandoned his family, leaving his wife to handle significant mortgage debts and child-rearing. Following a confrontation at a university leadership meeting, Fu reportedly signed an agreement to provide monthly financial support of approximately 5,000 yuan.

Investigation teams from both Wuhan University and Anhui University have been prompted to review the matter.
