On the evening of August 22, the 71st Miss World China contest announced on Weibo: "Qin Zewen will represent China in the 71st Miss World Global Finals. According to the microblog, Qin Zewen was born in July 1997, with a height of 173 centimeters, and previously worked at the Anxin Securities Research Institute. Subsequently, terms such as #Former Brokerage Research Assistant Entering the Miss World Finals ##Qin Zewen# have been on Weibo hot searches.
On the evening of the same day, Qin Zewen also responded in the circle of friends, saying that the champions of Miss World countries are not short of young entrepreneurs, journalists, lawyers, writers, and scientists. It is a medium for women to speak out, and she will bring the voices of women in the financial industry to the world stage.
However, Qin Zewen's statement was not recognized by netizens, followed by netizens' questions about his "academic qualifications fraud", "resume fraud", and "why can it be replaced if it has not entered the top three in China".
According to the official Weibo of the 71st Miss World China Contest, Qin Zewen "has joined Oracle and PwC's well-known enterprises for internships, and worked as an analyst at Essence Securities, and the team has been the first place in the computer industry for the best analysts of New Fortune for several years." ”
However, according to the official information of the China Securities Association, Qin Zewen did work for Anxin Securities, and the registration period was from August 12, 2021 to January 4, 2022, but the practice position was "general securities business", that is to say, he had not yet obtained analyst qualifications.
Some netizens noted that the 71st Miss World China Contest officially revised the Weibo tweet twice, the first time deleting the experience of "Minsheng Securities Analyst" and the second deleting "master's degree". Its official WeChat also deleted the tweet on the evening of August 22, and re-released the article "Official Announcement | Qin Zewen will represent China in the 71st Miss World Global Finals" on August 23.

It is worth noting that Qin Zewen is not the top three in the 71st Miss World Contest in China, which also triggered netizens to question his suspected "airborne" participation in the Miss World Finals.
According to the WeChat public account tweet of the 71st Miss World Contest, on November 13, 2021, Ruan Yue, who graduated from the University of British Columbia and is from Wuhan, Hubei Province, won the overall championship of the 71st Miss World China, Tang Susu, who graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Music, won the second place in China, and Hu Keyu, who graduated from the Sichuan Film and Television Academy, won the third place in China. At the same time, Qin Zewen was not seen in the list of champions, runners-up in the Eastern Division, Western Division, Southern Division, Northern Division, and Central Division mentioned in the tweet.
On August 14, 2022, the Organizing Committee of the 71st Miss World China announced the cancellation of the overall champion honor of Ruan Yue's 71st Miss World China. On August 22, it was announced that Qin Zewen would represent China in the 71st Miss World Global Finals.
On the evening of August 24, the official website of the Miss World contest released a statement saying, "We are concerned about the complaints received about the candidates who representEd China in the Miss World Global Finals. We will investigate the matter and if the rules are violated, we will take appropriate action. ”
At noon on August 25, Qin Zewen's "old owner" Anxin Securities also issued a statement saying that Qin Zewen joined the company's research center as an assistant analyst (sales direction) through social recruitment on June 22, 2020, and was mainly responsible for contacting customers and sorting out basic work such as data during the company's employment. He officially left the company on December 31, 2021, and has only been in the industry for one and a half years. Qin Zewen has left the company for eight months and has been deregistered from the securities industry, participating in social activities is a personal act, has nothing to do with Essence Securities, and cannot represent women in the industry.
