The response from Yun City Third Middle School is here!
Yun City Third Middle School:
[Regarding the recent suicide of Tang Xinran by jumping off a building, which has been escalating online, unrelated individuals are spreading rumors and defaming. Please rely on official information.
Tang Xinran jumped off a building and committed suicide last October, dying on the spot.
Upon discovering Tang Xinran’s death, we expressed deep regret and sorrow.
The school aims to nurture talents for society, and Tang Xinran was an excellent student. We don’t understand why she chose to commit suicide.
Upon discovering Tang Xinran’s death, we immediately called 120, but unfortunately, there was no way to save her.
In the end, we regrettably said goodbye to a third-year middle school student...
All teachers and students at our school held a moment of silence and a flower-laying ceremony.
Our school’s graduation rate is 100% every year, with a 95% rate of students advancing to key high schools. Almost all our students can enter key high schools, and the remaining 5% can also get into high school. As a model middle school, we are very attentive to each student’s growth. We not only focus on academic performance but also on students’ mental and physical health.
All online information is false; please trust the official message. We will pursue legal action against online rumors.]
Yun City Third Middle School released this message.
In addition to this message, there was also a police investigation report at the time, stating that Tang Xinran committed suicide.
There is also a court verdict, awarding Tang Jian Country 300,000.
Principal Meng De Lake also gave a media interview.
In front of the camera, Meng De Lake sighed.
Principal Meng De Lake: "Ah, I also feel sorrow and regret about Tang Xinran’s suicide case. They are all the flowers of our nation, yet ended up on the path of suicide. Our school’s education for students is very thorough, but alas... family education is also very important."
"I hope this incident serves as a warning to more families. As parents, they need to pay more attention to their children’s mental and physical health. They can’t think that handing their children over to the school means there are no issues. Family education is also a crucial part."
"I am pained and understand the actions of Tang Xinran’s parents, but the matter is over. Besides learning from this, it’s wrong to keep pursuing the school’s responsibility, since the school cannot control the student’s suicidal behavior. If we..."
At this point, the principal seemed very pained, "If our school could have discovered Tang Xinran’s unusual behavior earlier, perhaps this event could have been prevented. Now, to prevent students from jumping off buildings to commit suicide, we have added more barriers in our school to protect students’ safety."
After speaking, the principal also took the media on a tour of the school to feel the school atmosphere.
The students were studying, and during breaks, the students were playing.
Moreover, the school was clean and tidy.
Indeed, the school has now added barriers to prevent student suicides, everything looks very good.
The principal took this opportunity to give the school some good publicity.
Especially Yun City Third Middle School’s graduation rate, which is the best in the city, without a doubt!
Therefore, Yun City Third Middle School was also rated as a key middle school, and all aspects of the school are being highly regarded.
Many students are eager to join Yun City Third Middle School precisely because of its high graduation rate.
Principal Meng De Lake was all smiles.
In another month, he could be transferred!
His position could even be promoted!
This is the achievement he has produced over the years!!
The whole school is thriving!
After the news was exposed.
Many media outlets praised Yun City Third Middle School’s high graduation rate and great environment.
Even many news media were able to sway a lot of netizens’ opinions.
[I think Yun City Third Middle School’s principal is quite sincere, and the students here perform very well academically. This is a key middle school. Tang Xinran’s suicide... it must have been her decision, right? There’s no other problem, right?]
[I think Tang Jian Country is just overly grieving and it has little to do with the school, right? You can’t blame the school for a student’s suicide. That’s just unreasonable.]
[I believe if there was really a problem with the school, given the number of teachers and students, someone would have exposed and reported it, right? But no one has made any report or exposure.]
[Indeed... I still trust the official information. After all, the police have issued a report, and the court has made a judgement, so it’s settled. What could possibly be wrong?]
[Tang Xiaoqiu committed suicide... It’s just the fault of those people, but the case is closed and there really doesn’t seem to be anything wrong. No one’s blaming the school, so there really shouldn’t be any issues with the school.]
Some netizens came forward thinking that the school did no wrong.
Of course, others think there are issues.
[I do not deny the school’s high graduation rate, but the school’s statement is avoiding key issues. Why not show the parents the surveillance footage? Why hand over the body immediately? Why was it directly cremated at the funeral home without a forensic examination?]
[Surveillance footage shouldn’t be shown to the parents, the police have seen it, proving it was a suicide, definitely not someone pushing her off. Do you know more than the police investigation? A suicide is a suicide, there’s no need for a forensic report. The person is gone, if not sent to the crematorium for cremation, where else would you put the body?]
[Anyway, I think there needs to be an investigation, it must be investigated, at least explain the surveillance footage issue!!]
[The school’s surveillance couldn’t have been broken, right? What is the reason, after all?]
[I definitely think it’s not a simple suicide, it can’t be that simple. Otherwise, Tang Xiaoqiu and Tang Jian Country wouldn’t have been fighting for their rights for so long.]
There are netizens supporting Tang Jian Country online.
However, the general direction of public opinion is being swayed by the school.
Things are escalating quickly.
Especially since many netizens believe in the official investigation results....
Plus, this case happened a year ago. If it weren’t for Tang Xiaoqiu’s suicide by jumping off a building alongside the media’s push, this case might never have been exposed either.
Soon, the media interviewed many students’ parents.
Because the school just finished the monthly exams and held parent meetings.
The media went in for random interviews.
Parents shared their views on the school one after another.
[The school is pretty good, my child’s grades are also quite good, getting into a key high school shouldn’t be a problem.]
[I haven’t heard anything bad about the school. This is Yun City Third Middle School, a key middle school with a 100% graduation rate. As long as your child is in this school, they can definitely get in!]
[...]
Parents also praised the school.
The media also interviewed students.
When students saw the reporters, they were hesitant, then a student immediately stood out to say the school is good, the school is excellent.
Meanwhile, Gu Chen has been busy gathering evidence!
As for the online public opinion, even Gu Chen hadn’t expected it...
These people are incredibly skilled at twisting the truth!
But...
It’s useless!
Because, the truth of the matter speaks louder than words!
