In the past two days, a post appeared on the HKU forum. Overnight, the post was upvoted to thousands of pages, and the content discussed went viral, causing widespread concern among teachers and students at HKU. The heated discussion also triggered a moment of public outrage.
First of all, the poster of this post disclosed his identity at the beginning. He is He Tianran, a junior student in the Department of Finance at the School of Economics.
Does this name ring a bell?
Although people who know He Tianran's background always like to make some comparisons jokingly, for example, there is a rich second generation in Shanghai, nicknamed "Shanghai Emperor", so corresponding to He Tianran, he is a rich second generation in Hong Kong City. His status in the circle is undoubtedly worthy of the nickname "King of Hong Kong City".
But the reality is that these nicknames are not only good for spreading the word and giving people something to talk about, but they do not represent the person in the story. What people like to discuss is often the rich second generation in their imagination, so much so that they take it seriously. If a person with a net worth of over 100 million stands in front of them, they will only think that what they see in front of them is just an ordinary person with good or bad looks and decent clothes.
So the answer to the above question is, of course the name He Tianran is relevant.
But He Tianran is actually not well known by people.
But that's enough.
The so-called high-profile work and low-key life, He Tianran was too low-key in the past at the University of Hong Kong, so this time he opened a high-profile post under his real name on the forum, which instantly attracted many people to watch.
Many people thought that He Tianran's statement should be related to the recent criticism suffered by classmate Cao. After all, the gossip about these two people had been circulating since their freshman year. A "rich second generation" and a "School Beauty", these two titles alone are enough to make people think of many stories.
The content of the post is also the same, but rather than proving a classmate’s innocence, He Tianran’s post denounces a social weirdness. He wrote in the article:
"Dear students, to be honest, I feel a sense of sadness about what happened to classmate Cao recently.
I am not pretending to be sober, but as an insider, I am stating some things that I can see. Before I state, I want to ask everyone a question -
Do most people like some dramas that are made out of nothing?
My answer is, yes.
Because we know that this world is not clean, it has classes and distances, and it is nothing like what we longed for when we were children.
So on the bright side, we talk about the beauty of the world, hoping that this kind of beauty will come to us, but every time our expectations fail, we can't help but have dark fantasies in our hearts, and we can't wait to drag these dust-free things into the mud. It rolls around a few times and is stained with some dirt. It seems that only in this way can those people and things that are still some distance away from us and can only look up to us become more vivid and reasonable.
Then, we can become accustomed to a conclusion that countless people feel is so true that it is acquiescence -
Reality, that's how it is.
Yes, reality is like this.
I just can't chase pretty girls because they all like people with money or good looks. Looks are equal to money, which makes sense.
When others show kindness to me, I will also wonder if the other person has other intentions. This is a purposeful behavior, because how can someone be kind to me for no reason? When you think about it, it makes sense.
…
Therefore, the above-mentioned reasonableness makes us wander between the contradiction between beauty and darkness, and use an absurd criterion to comfort us.
We admit that there are good people and good girls in this world, but they are all online and in short videos. How can you meet any kind-hearted girls in reality? In reality, there is only transaction.
When this logic is applied to the incident involving Mr. Cao, everything seems so "reasonable".
Why do you stay out of the mud?
Why are you rejecting us and yet being so kind to us?
You must have some hidden side. If I take out one million, I will definitely be able to sleep on your bed. Even if I don’t have one million, I just know that I can, because this is the reality, and it will definitely not be wrong!
If it doesn’t work, then you don’t have enough money!
Therefore, it is normal and reasonable for the seemingly outstanding, gentle and beautiful school beauty to rely on her good appearance in private to attract the appetites of many suitors and find a good future for herself.
As a result, this matter is so reasonable that without any witness or material evidence, it can become a stone-pounding argument based on groundless rumors.
However, dear students...
Can adding the word "reality" before reasonable explain everything?
Is there only one way of life in this world?
Doesn’t the truth matter?
As an insider, even the victim who was targeted in this rumor incident, what I have seen is that it is just using social psychology to stir up the public opinion of the mob, and it is a complete and utter waste. carnival!
I can say with certainty that the classmate Cao I know is not the same person as the classmate Cao mentioned by those who spread rumors!
Everyone, I, He Tianran, may not be ordinary enough. I can’t accept this seemingly conventional thinking habit, and I don’t want to accept any bullshit realistic rationality.
I got 671 points in the college entrance examination and got to the University of Hong Kong. Every correct answer was the result of my accumulated tears and sweat for twelve years in junior high school and high school.
I also maintained the habit of using my brain to find the right answers instead of listening to reasonable rumors.
I believe that all students must have had this experience. We have worked countless days and nights to solemnly make the Hong Kong election the starting point of our dreams.
What I hope is that by borrowing the vast expanse of the lead washing pool, I can wash away all the lead and become a new person, instead of disappearing into the crowd and drifting with the crowd!
Otherwise, what on earth would I be doing after all these years of hard work?
I have done this test for so many years, and I don’t want to get confused on this test paper called “Life”.
What is called "reasonable" in reality, think about it, I still have the ability to prove and answer it myself.
So fellow students, what about you?
: Today and tomorrow, the two movies "Beautiful Legend of Sicily" and "Dogtown" will be screened at 7:30 pm in the art appreciation hall of the school library. All students are welcome to watch the movies. "

This post contains thousands of words, is very critical, and uses sharp words. It immediately stirred up waves after it was published. Among the replies that received the most approval and the highest praise among those thousands-story high-rise buildings, there was someone like this wrote——
35th Floor: "I remember the Vice President of Peking University once said that if you are from Peking University, if you see an old man fall, you should help him. If he blackmails you, the Peking University Law Department will provide you with legal aid. If you lose the case, Peking University will compensate you. !
And what about our HKU? You are a member of the University of Hong Kong. When you see someone spreading rumors, you follow them. If you can't be hacked, just go to the forum, and the forum will provide you with rumor-mongering content. If you don't want to be hacked, the forum will hack it for you! "
…
52nd Floor: "Although the matter about Mr. Cao has been aroused recently, and there are some who are making noises and some who are defending, most people just sit back and watch with the mentality of watching the excitement, as if it has nothing to do with them. I also in its column.
But today Brother Tianran’s words, which are sharp and heart-breaking, have brought my sense of superiority as a student of the University of Hong Kong back to the ground.
A girl from the same school was spread rumors like this by someone with ulterior motives, but I just turned a blind eye and took it for granted without thinking. It really made me feel uncivilized and ashamed. After reading so many years and learning so much The truth is, after all, I am ashamed of myself who walks by the lead-washing pond every day. "
…
Floor 182: "This is the HKU Forum! It's the campus network of a first-tier university, not a hodgepodge like Tik Tok! The more I read this article by Mr. He, the more I feel ashamed. It's useless for us to boast about being a top student, bah!"
…
Floor 255: "Those who follow the trend and spread rumors, please conduct self-examination below this floor!"
…
Floor 292: "I am a student in the law department. I have reported this matter to our teacher. Later our dean also found out. His eyebrows trembled with anger, but he didn't play forums very much, so he asked us Make a statement.
Mr. Cao has the right to pursue responsibility and report it to the relevant public security department. The school will fully cooperate with the investigation. Please rest assured that if this kind of situation occurs in the future or students suffer injustice, please inform us at the HKU Law Department and we will provide legal services throughout the process. Assistance and never lose the case! "
…
Floor 321: "From the beginning to the end of this matter, our classmates from the School of Architecture have always been on Cao's side. We know her character best! We have always refuted the rumors posted on the forum, but I don’t know why, but it keeps appearing. I hope this time it can be completely eliminated, and the source of the rumors can be found, and made public so that we can see who the beast is!"
…
Floor 417: "I am lucky enough to be in the same class as Mr. He, and I feel a little emotional. The teacher used to tease Mr. He for lacking some enthusiasm and initiative, but after reading this article, I found that he is the most aggressive one among us. admire!"
…
Floor 557: "As a public relations student, I was dumbfounded. When I realized that I was ashamed of my identity as a student of the University of Hong Kong, I already expected that our teacher had found a case that could be taught to us. .
As an aside, the two movies recommended by Mr. He really have the charm of CCTV6. "

It is true that He Tianran's clarification article is very skillful, and his skill in arranging words is far more provocative than those mindless rumors. It is like strong medicine being administered to a patient, and every word is like a barrage, successfully arousing people's attention. It has aroused the sentiments of the same hatred among the students of the University of Hong Kong and provided a strong foundation for completely eradicating Cao Aiqing's hidden dangers after the rumors.
It can be said that He Tianran ended up very beautifully because of the Cao Aiqing Internet violence incident.
Less than two days after the post was posted, the forum quickly announced the school’s investigation results amid the angry condemnation of many students.
The person who spread the rumor has surrendered. The main culprit is Sun Qianzhi, the director of the external relations department of the student union. He confessed very happily that he was just in love with Cao Aiqing and hated Cao Aiqing, so he took advantage of his position to collude with a forum manager and buy a wave of water. The army came to carry out a slander against Cao Aiqing in order to blackmail the other party.
But before he could say his threat, He Tianran's post escalated the situation. Seeing that he couldn't stop it, he had no choice but to confess as soon as possible.
The punishment for this incident was that Sun Qianzhi was sentenced to six months in prison for defamation, deliberately fabricating and spreading fictitious facts, derogating others' personalities, and damaging others' reputations. The University of Hong Kong expelled him from the university, and the crime was recorded in the student files. .
The remaining accomplices were sentenced to three months of surveillance and were expelled from the University of Hong Kong. Their crimes were recorded in their student status files.
This result is similar to what He Tianran told Cao Aiqing at the beginning. The real mastermind He Yuanchong could not be caught at all. Sun Qianzhi had been bitten to death by him. Except for Cao Aiqing himself, he did not know that he hated her because of his love. In addition to this incident, Sun Qianzhi explained all the details clearly, even Xia Qiao exposed them.
"How much money did your family pay to Sun Qianzhi to make him take the blame so willingly?"
On the day he came out of the court, Cao Aiqing asked He Tianran expressionlessly.
"My dad won't tell me how much he spent on wiping He Yuanchong's butt this time, but you can rest assured that you will definitely get an apology."
The girl was silent for a while and asked: "What about your brother?"
"Don't worry, he won't live much better than Sun Qianzhi in prison... By the way, my dad wants to see you." He Tianran hesitated.
"when?"
"You decide."
Cao Aiqing asked: "What if I don't want to see you? Will there be no apology?"
"This... this is not serious, but you have to put an end to this matter by yourself, right? If you don't want to see him, I will tell him and we will find a way to compensate you."
"Then...let me think about it again."
"……good."
After saying that, the two of them drove back to school. Today's court session was the first time they met since the last time they were at a restaurant.
"By the way, the court is in session today, why doesn't uncle come?"
"I didn't ask him to come, but my family all knew about it. Your post made a big fuss. The school called my home again and again."
"...Ah, that's it."
He Tianran drove the car and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"He Tianran..."
"Um?"
"Is this matter...really over?"
It was originally a major event that should have affected Cao Aiqing's life. When it reappeared, it came to an end in the face of justice and general trend. Cao Aiqing stared at the city scenery flying by outside the car window and murmured.
He Tianran looked at her profile, which was still extremely beautiful, and smiled softly:
"Don't worry, it's all over."
"..."
Today is already Friday.
The two got out of the car, looking a little embarrassed facing the upcoming tomorrow.
