The world of film and television begins with university lecturers

As soon as Han Tao finished speaking, a noticeable commotion suddenly broke out in the back row.

Three figures whose attire was out of place among the standing students squeezed out of the crowd.

The two men, with deliberately questioning expressions, spoke rapidly, firing off sharp questions in rapid succession, instantly shattering the relaxed atmosphere in the classroom.

"Teacher Han, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

When you took action to subdue the foreign student yesterday, did you seriously consider the consequences of your actions beforehand?

If the situation escalates and leads to international disputes, can you afford the consequences?

Before he could finish speaking, another man in a suit beside him immediately chimed in, his tone deliberately elevating his stance:

"Now many public intellectuals are releasing videos to comment on this matter, emphasizing that my country has long adhered to the diplomatic principle of peaceful coexistence."

They generally believe that your public punishment of foreign students escalated the conflict.

"We believe you are deliberately undermining cultural exchanges between the people of China and the United States. How do you explain this?"

In the brief lull between the two men's attacks, a man with dyed blond hair, secretly clutching a portable recording device, suddenly stood up from the crowd, his tone sarcastic:

  

"Teacher Han, there are still many voices on the internet questioning whether you were actually acting as a hero."

"Is this just a deliberate publicity stunt, using the beating of a foreign national to gain traffic and attention? What's your opinion on this?"

A barrage of aggressive questions rained down, and the lecture hall fell silent almost instantly.

The students below the stage frowned, instinctively gripped their phones, and focused their attention on the podium.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Han Tao's response. Many students from other schools who had come to watch even turned on their phones to record the scene, afraid of missing what was to come.

Han Tao braced his hands on the edge of the podium, his expression calm and without the slightest hint of panic. His gaze swept over the three people in the back row, and his tone was unhurried:

"First, during class time, questions should be asked primarily to students who are attending the lecture."

Secondly, the three of you do not appear to be registered students of this school. If you have any personal issues, please communicate with each other privately after class.

However, since we've already come this far, let me state my position first: I intervened to stop the illegal infringement yesterday for only one reason!

That is to protect our students who are harassed and bullied, and to uphold campus rules and the bottom line of the law.

As long as it falls within the framework of Chinese law, the standards are never double-edged, regardless of the other party's nationality or status.

This response did not appease the man in the suit; his face instantly turned ashen, and his tone became harsh and accusatory.

"Teacher Han, I'm sorry to disagree, but I think you're deliberately avoiding the issue!"

This is essentially a publicity stunt to gain attention, and your actions have genuinely damaged Sino-US cultural exchange. Both morally and logically, you must publicly apologize to the affected international students!

"Apologize?" Han Tao chuckled softly, then looked at him with sharp and determined eyes.

"The foreign students who harassed female students and assaulted them should apologize."

Moreover, they should not only sincerely apologize to Wang Jiajia, who was dragged and bullied, but also to Yang Xiaodong, who was injured while trying to break up the fight.

More importantly, they must bow down and admit their mistakes to our school rules and regulations, and to Chinese laws and regulations.

Finally, protecting students is a teacher's most basic responsibility.

Even if I were to witness such an attempt at violence or disorderly conduct again, I would still make the exact same choice.

He paused here, then responded to their so-called "peaceful coexistence" rhetoric:

"As for the issues of peaceful coexistence and cultural exchange... we must admit that we do love peace and yearn for exchange."

However, peace and exchange are predicated on mutual respect. Dignity is never given away; it is earned through principles and integrity.

"Therefore, the premise of peaceful coexistence is equality, respect, and adherence to each other's rules, not that we unilaterally lower our bottom line and tolerate everything without limit."

"Others take advantage of their status as foreign exchange personnel to provoke trouble and bully our students, and we have to smile, apologize, and beg for peace?"

Brother, don't even think about it! Chinese people love peace, but we will never be weak or bullied!

We are very willing to engage in exchanges with the outside world, but we will never accept any offense that tramples on our dignity.

As he spoke, Han Tao looked directly at the man in the suit and said clearly, "If you want to talk about Sino-US cultural exchange, that's fine."

The prerequisite is that foreign students who come to China must first learn to abide by Chinese laws.

At the same time, we must learn to respect ordinary people around us and understand that we cannot bully or provoke trouble at will.

They can't even uphold the most basic respect and rules, and they wantonly violate the personal safety of others. They have no right to talk about cultural exchange or friendly relations.

The blond man beside him, undeterred, pressed on, "So, how do you respond to the accusations of it being a publicity stunt?"

"A publicity stunt?" Han Tao raised an eyebrow and pointed to the full on-site surveillance video playing on the projection screen.

"I didn't plan the whole thing, and I didn't provoke the conflict, so how can you say it was a publicity stunt?"

The extent to which I acted last night was strictly within the necessary limits of legitimate self-defense.

The entire process was monitored by the school, and students also recorded complete video evidence.

If stopping school bullying, protecting harmed students, and upholding the bottom line of the law are considered hype, then I wouldn't mind doing this kind of "hype" countless times.

True popularity is never gained by bullying or beating up anyone; it's the recognition that naturally comes from upholding justice and taking on the responsibilities of youth.

After he finished speaking, the lecture hall erupted in cheers and applause, filling the entire space with thunderous applause and shouts of encouragement.

Many students stood up excitedly and applauded, and even a few self-media bloggers who had sneaked in subconsciously stopped filming and joined in the clapping.

Han Tao supported himself on the podium with one hand, his gaze sweeping over the thousands of young students below, his voice booming:

"Now I want to emphasize this again, and I'm saying it to all of you students, this is not hype, it's the spirit that contemporary youth must have!"

What is courage? It's not about being belligerent without reason; it's about having a deep-seated refusal to back down or be afraid of the strong, daring to speak out against injustice, and never bowing down to power!

"Just now, someone said that I was exacerbating the conflict and undermining peace."

There are also a few ignorant public intellectuals online who shamelessly post video comments.

I believe that in peacetime, there's no need to be forceful; if things go wrong, just be patient and it will pass.

"Screw that! Today, I'll use the Korean War, the first battle fought after the founding of the People's Republic of China, as an example to explain this principle clearly to everyone!"

"Back then, the newly established People's Republic of China was in dire need of reconstruction. We only had millet and rifles, while the United States was fully mechanized and possessed atomic bombs."

The other side assembled a coalition of seventeen nations, pressed forward to the Yalu River, and even brandished nuclear weapons to blackmail us, clamoring to bring the flames of war to Chinese soil.

At this point, Han Tao lightly clicked the mouse, and historical photos slowly unfolded on the large screen behind him.

Those black-and-white images show Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers, wrapped in thin cotton-padded clothes, charging on the battlefield at Chosin Reservoir in minus forty degrees Celsius.

"Now tell me, is it okay if we don't fight?"

He sneered, "Not fight? Then all of you standing here today might be studying under American artillery fire!"

Chairman Mao once said, "A single punch can prevent a hundred more."

So this one punch secured seventy years of peace for the new China!

As he spoke, he stepped down from the podium and walked to the front row of students, looking directly at a boy wearing glasses:

"Young man, if someone bullies your classmate today, would you stand idly by?"
