Mother steals daughter's college admission letter and goes viral

 
A 17-year-old girl from Chongqing, whose admission letter was stolen by her mother, has finally been allowed to go to college in Beijing.

"My mom has now agreed to let me go to the Central Academy of Drama and will no longer restrict my freedom to travel," the girl named Jiajia told the media on Wednesday. "She asked me to leave the decision to the Bodhisattva. The first divination came out that I can go to Beijing! She then practiced the second divination, and it also showed that I can go to Beijing."

Jiajia's mother thought she was applying for a more standard course at a local school in Chongqing, but Jiajia secretly modified her college application to the Drama Education program of the Central Academy of Drama and was admitted on July 26.

But on August 14, 11 days before the term was set to begin, her mother took away her admission letter, ID card and household registration book, leaving behind a note that said "I'm sorry" before disappearing. 

Jiajia called the police and contacted the college admissions office. The police were only able to mediate since Jiajia is still a minor and her parents are still the legal guardians. But luckily, the admissions office told her that as long as she sent an email to the admissions office to confirm her identity, she could continue with the enrollment procedure without the admission letter.

Jiajia said other families supported her wish to go to the Central Academy of Drama, but her mother resisted. She finally gave in after practicing the divination, but still refused to give back her admission letter.
