I finished my performance, took the microphone, and spoke to the parents and friends below:

"Three parents have already demonstrated for us. Learning martial arts can indeed strengthen the body and protect oneself. I teach the children martial arts, but I do not hope that they will actually use it to protect themselves one day. The safety of children is something that parents, schools, and society should collectively safeguard. However, in this school, in Class 2 of Year 3, there was a child who did not receive protection. He was bullied by three male classmates in the same class for two years. Today, I finally taught him to be brave. Just before we went on stage to perform, he gathered the courage to call the police himself..."

All the parents below were in an uproar. They could not have imagined that such a terrible thing was actually happening in the school where their own children were studying. They whispered to each other, inquiring:

"Have you heard about this?"

"Who in Class 2?"

"Such children are inherently bad and should not be allowed to continue studying here; they must be expelled."

...

Things had developed to this point, and the principal had completely not anticipated it. If someone called the police, he would have to report to the education bureau. He could no longer suppress this bullying incident. Once this matter was made public, whether it would bring good or bad consequences was hard to predict.

Seeing the principal sweating profusely and starting to look for a quick fix, I quickly changed the subject and offered the school a way out.

"Here, I want to thank the school leadership for their support in upholding justice and seeking redress for us."

As I spoke, I brought out the prepared banners.

"Nurture growth, uphold justice."

At this moment, the principal had just taken the quick fix pill and, seeing me bring out the banners, wiped the sweat off his forehead, tremblingly walked to the front of the stage to receive the banner.

The old man's gaze at me was extremely complex. Hatred, without any warning, revealed the school bullying incident and actually called the police; gratitude, I did not put the school in the dock altogether, and the banner was a way out for him.

"Parents entrust their students to our school, and we should escort the children. Bullying on campus is absolutely intolerable in our school..."

I also considered whether to put the school on the gallows. After thinking it over, I felt that the school must bear some responsibility in this matter, but my goal was to make the school remember, focus on the students' physical and mental health, and prevent similar incidents from happening again. Would changing the principal or teachers achieve the goal? I felt that the principal, who had gone through this ordeal, would do better.

So I made a banner, saving face for the school and allowing Liu Xiaoxiao and Feng Zinuo to continue their normal studies here.
