School response! Male student involved: There is an intersection, but it cannot be considered as an acquaintance. "The girl scolded the male student for secretly taking photos and claimed to recognize the wrong person." Our school | netizen | school

On June 13th, Hangzhou Normal University released a situation statement, with the following details:

On June 12th, a student dispute occurred in our school. The school attaches great importance to it and is currently conducting an investigation. The school deeply regrets and apologizes for the occupation of public resources and the impact caused by this matter.

On June 12th, a video titled "A girl mistakenly identified a boy as a 'pervert' who was secretly filmed, and later claimed to recognize the wrong person" sparked heated discussions.

According to a video circulating online, a male student claiming to be a graduate student at Hangzhou Normal University excitedly pointed at a female student and asked for her name. The accused female student claimed to have mistaken the person, while a uniformed person next to him continued to dissuade the two and said, "I'll handle it.".

In the video, the boy said he was looking at a photo with his mentor, and the aforementioned girl suddenly said he was a pervert and secretly took a photo of her. After the boy presented his social media chat records, the girl explained that she would be very scared and nervous when someone followed her.

After the video was released, many netizens believed that since the girl involved had identified the wrong person, why didn't she apologize immediately? "It's okay for the girl to pay attention to safety, but can we not play tricks..." Some netizens also believed that the boy involved was too emotional.

Suspected female family members speak out:

Starting from the end of 2022, there have been multiple instances of harassment towards girls

On the afternoon of the 13th, a Weibo user who claimed to be the family member of the girl involved in the video spoke online, stating that the real situation was different from what everyone had seen.

"The boy in the video has been harassing the girl multiple times since the end of 2022. Although the girl clearly refused, the boy continued to harass and chat with the school counselor, and reported it multiple times. On the afternoon of June 13th, the girl was on the phone when she suddenly found out that the boy was very close to her. The girl was frightened and instinctively scolded, hoping to get rid of the boy. As a result, the boy became angry. A scene in the video appeared where the girl was afraid and said 'I have mistaken the wrong person', hoping that the boy would not engage in extreme behavior, but in reality, she did not mistake the person," said the user, who is suspected to be a member of the girl's family.

The user also stated at the end that they have reported the incident to the police and attached a chat record with the counselor on April 7th of this year.

Weibo users claiming to be family members of the girl involved spoke online

According to the chat records posted by her, a user suspected of being involved in a girl once stated that she often went to the library last semester, and in the second half of the semester, there were often people in the lobby on the first floor who wanted to greet her, but they often ignored her because they didn't know each other.

One night around 9 o'clock, when she walked downstairs to the dormitory, the other party suddenly patted her from behind and ran away. In addition, the user said that she later met the boy again on the fourth floor of the library. When she came back from eating out, she found apples and a note on the table. She then took a photo of the note, left something behind, and never went to the library alone again.

In addition, a user who is suspected to be involved with a female student also said that about a month after the start of school, she once went out alone to have lunch. She held her umbrella in the rain and felt that someone was blocking her. She lifted the umbrella a bit and found out it was the aforementioned male student. Because he was on the phone at the time, he continued to walk forward, and the boy did not follow. The user said that on April 7th, after badminton class, they were preparing to return to their dormitory. When they walked to the traffic light at the school gate, they saw the boy again. However, after the boy walked towards the teaching area, they chose to go to the small shop and then walk towards the dormitory. At the junction of Building 2 and Building 3, they saw the boy again. A few seconds later, the boy suddenly asked if he remembered him.

After the incident was fermented by public opinion, many students who claimed to be Hangzhou Normal University left comments online. A student said that before the incident, he had seen the boy involved several times downstairs in the dormitory, and he was still running later at that time.

Student B from the school also stated that they often see this boy. At first, I saw him walking with two girls, and because of his long hair, I was very impressed. Later, I met the boy again in the library, and the boy even gave me a thumbs up and said to cheer for the final exam. After leaving with his friends, he caught up from behind and started talking, saying that he often saw himself and his friends going to the library. Later, when he met him on the way, he even took the initiative to greet him and said he wanted to get to know him.

B mentioned that on June 11th, he saw the other party at school again. He originally wanted to walk quickly, but the other party still caught up and started talking, saying that he felt familiar with his classmates and claimed that he knew his classmates. However, when asked which student it was, he stuttered and didn't speak.

C, a student from the school, claimed to be present at the scene. Later, the boy involved began to curse and jump off the building if he didn't apologize. The security police next to him advised him to leave, but he claimed to be waiting here all along.

A student also believes that the behavior of the boy involved is somewhat strange. He had previously posted some strange comments in a certain college group, such as "I have never been happy after entering this school", "I hope to change everything with death", and so on.

Response from the male involved:

I have had four intersections with the girl, but I can't count them as acquaintances

In response to the comments from the netizens mentioned above, a Red Star News reporter contacted the boy involved in the video, Xiao Zhong, who stated that the two had reached a settlement, but did not expect public opinion to ferment online. "This is actually a small matter, there is no need to magnify it," he said

Red Star News: Suspected family members of a girl say that you have actually harassed her multiple times, and some netizens say they often see you near her dormitory.

Xiao Zhong: I don't really know each other. I don't know her name and college, so I can only say that we had an intersection at school before. And I live in Building 1, she lives in Building 2, and Building 2 is the only way for me. Yesterday, through our post event communication, we confirmed that there were a total of 4 intersections.

The first time was when I was taking the postgraduate entrance exam last year. Due to the high pressure of the exam, I paid for a few boxes of oranges and sent them to everyone in the library. She was also there at that time, so maybe she remembered me at that time; Then, after receiving feedback from the other party that they thought my behavior of sending oranges was offensive and there was no need to interact with me, I wrote a Christmas card the second time to apologize. I think this is purely friendly behavior, and I don't know why some people think it's harassment, which is also the source of conflict.

The third time was in April, when I returned to Hangzhou for the postgraduate interview. At that time, my mood was quite excited, and I personally enjoyed making friends, so I was very happy to see everyone. When I encountered her while picking up the package, I took the initiative to ask her, "Do you remember me?" She said, "Don't talk to me, or I'll tell you the counselor.". I showed respect and never contacted her again until this incident occurred.

I walked well this time, looking down at my phone and not paying attention to any other situation. As she passed by, she suddenly said, "You secretly took pictures of me, you're a pervert." Then she even raised her phone as if she wanted to take a photo of me. At that time, I told her well that I was looking at the mentor's photo, but her cold treatment attitude did make me a bit angry.

Red Star News: The girl once sought help from a counselor, indicating that it has indeed caused her trouble.

Xiao Zhong: She may have misunderstood my previous behavior and felt that I wanted to get to know her through this behavior. Because she took the initiative to tell me that she didn't want to make friends with me because of oranges, but I actually didn't want to deliberately make friends with anyone. At that time, I was just under too much pressure and felt that everyone was working hard. I thought I wanted everyone to get into graduate school.

Also, I enjoy running, and sometimes I may have encountered her at school, but I am nearsighted and I actually don't know her. Even if I recognize her, I know I shouldn't disturb her. In addition, regarding the screenshot sent by the family members of the suspected girl mentioned informing me about the counselor, the counselor did not mention this to me in April.

This time, it was only when I caught up with her and saw her face clearly that I realized she was the girl I had given oranges to in the library before. I talked to her for over an hour yesterday, sharing my thoughts and experiences with each other. In the end, we actually understood each other. After listening to her experience and thoughts, I also respect and respect her because everyone has different definitions of behavior. Finally, she apologized to me, and I also apologized to her for my extreme behavior.

Red Star News: Now there are people who are suspected to be female family members speaking out, and some netizens have also raised doubts about you.

Xiao Zhong: First of all, she and I have reconciled. Secondly, there is no such thing as gender opposition, it's just daily friction, just a small matter. I stayed up all night, I'm really afraid something might happen to her. This matter was originally settled yesterday, but now it has made the girl feel mentally tense again. I can't explain it clearly, so I suggest not to harass me and this girl again.

Additionally, I would like to tell everyone that while respecting individuals to maintain their independence, it is also important to respect the individuality of others. Just like yesterday, she may not have respected my personality, and I may not have respected her experience.

The Red Star News reporter attempted to contact the girl involved and Weibo users claiming to be her family members, but has not received a response yet.

On June 13th, a Red Star News reporter learned from the Propaganda Department of Hangzhou Normal University that two offline students have eliminated misunderstandings and reconciled, and teachers are providing psychological counseling in response to the influence of the internet.
