After browsing Twitter, Ding Yue felt he should make a comment since the incident Mr. Liu experienced was due to him driving Ding and university faculty and students to Mist City Airport yesterday.
So, Ding Yue crafted and posted a Tweet on his own account.
[Principal Ding of Mist City Arts and Science University] : I was truly shocked when I first heard the news. Everyone at the university who has ridden on Mr. Liu’s bus admires him for his loyalty, humility, and kindness. Yesterday, due to a business trip to another city, we arranged for Mr. Liu to take us to Mist City Airport. Astonishingly, on his way back to campus, Mr. Liu performed a tremendously heroic act, which deeply touched everyone at our university. We all are very proud of him. Thankfully, it has been confirmed that Mr. Liu is in stable condition in the hospital, and all of his medical expenses will be covered by our university. Moreover, we will award him 1 million yuan as a reward for his brave act!

Ding Yue’s Tweet caught a lot of attention as soon as it was posted.
"Great job, Principal Ding, employees like these deserve ample rewards!"
"One million in prize money, wonderful job, Principal Ding!"
"Mist City Arts and Science University truly did well in this regard."
"Finally, Principal Ding speaks out, I heard that he missed out on a collaboration with Professor Luo Xiang due to this business trip?"
"Drink-driving is a death sentence!"
"Principal Ding is amazing. So is your staff member, Mr. Liu from Mist City Arts and Science University. So touching!"
"Hope the university will definitely hold the perpetrators accountable!"
The popularity of Mr. Liu’s incident is still on the rise, attracting more and more attention to Mr. Liu, the ordinary campus bus driver at Mist City Arts and Science University.
Meanwhile, various major media outlets have also reported on the incident.
At that time, the bystanders from the food street also expressed their gratitude to Mr. Liu in succession.
At Mist City Central Hospital,
"Dear media friends, please understand, Mr. Liu really needs a peaceful space to recuperate. We have already agreed to let the reporters of Mist City News Channel do an interview, so all of you can repost news from Mist City News Channel. We hope you can understand."
The faculty and staff of Mist City Arts and Science University are blocking a large number of reporters outside the ward.
Among them, mainstream media left upon learning that only Mist City News Channel was permitted to interview. Most of the remaining are various self-media and media outlets with poor reputations. You could say they were trying to "ride the wave".
The Director of Academic Affairs of Mist City Arts and Science University, Qi Chunsheng, along with the Secretary of the Administration Department visited Mr. Liu.
Qi Chunsheng handed Mr. Liu a bank card, "Mr. Liu, this is the one million in reward that Principal Ding has asked the school to give you. Keep it safe. You did a commendable job. We are all proud of you!"
Besides them, there are reporters from Mist City News Channel in the ward. They were conducting an interview with Mr. Liu.
There are doctors and nurses present throughout the entire interview to monitor Mr. Liu’s condition. It is currently stable and he has no issues accepting the interview.
However, as Mr. Liu himself said, too much media disturbance is also what he does not want to see.
Luckily, in the end, Principal Ding only agreed to allow reporters from Mist City News Channel to enter.
The reporter from Mist City News Channel had already asked a few key questions about the incident and had seen that the people from Mist City Arts and Science University had given Mr. Liu a 1 million yuan reward for his brave act. Then he asked, "Mr. Liu, as an employee of Mist City Arts and Science University, and since it happened while you were on duty, your behavior more or less represents the university. What do you have to say about this?"
"The university treats me very well. Whether it’s the leaders, teachers, students we all get along well. Honestly, the actions of the university this time made me feel very warm, and I am also very happy that I was able to bring a little bit of honor to the school. Is it an honor?"
Mr. Liu responded with genuine, albeit uncertain, words.
"Of course it is an honor. Your brave act has saved many citizens’ lives. You are a hero!" the reporter affirmed confidently: "Mist City Government is already preparing to issue you a certificate of bravery."
"Principal Ding is a very nice person, as is the university. When Principal Ding heard about my incident, he called me right away and told me to take a good rest and not to worry about anything..."
