A 58-minute video, the courageous accusation of a female doctor, completely shattered the seemingly calm surface on the campus of Chinese People's University. In the middle of the night on July 21, 2024, this video detonated on the Internet like a bombshell. For a while, the topic of "sexual harassment of female students by professors at Renmin University" swept the entire social media platform like a storm.
In the video, the female student, who claimed to be a doctoral student at the School of Literature of the Chinese People's University, tearfully recounted how her mentor Wang Moumou used his position to forcibly molest her. What is even more outrageous is that when she rejected these misdeeds, the teacher, whom she once respected, became angry and began to retaliate against her in various ways, even threatening not to allow her to graduate. Where is this still a little bit of a teacher? Simply a complete villain!
However, just when everyone was angry and heartbroken about what happened to this girl, the reaction of the Chinese People's University was eye-catching. They did not choose to settle the matter, let alone try to cover up the truth. Instead, the school immediately set up a special task force to investigate overnight.
The next day, July 22, the Chinese University of China issued an official announcement. The report clearly stated that after investigation, the report was found to be true. Immediately afterwards, the university announced a series of thunderous measures: expelling Wang Moumou from the party, revoking his professorial title, canceling his graduate supervisor qualifications, and terminating his employment relationship. This series of punishment measures can be described as a heavy blow, sounding the alarm for all those who are lucky.
As soon as the results of this treatment came out, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Some people praised the processing speed of the National People's Congress and praised this as truly worthy of the word "people". It was also argued that expulsion alone was not enough and that he should be held criminally responsible. Some netizens asked whether his pension should be cancelled, so that this kind of person who corrupts the teacher's morality can taste the bitter fruits it deserves.
It has to be said that in handling this incident, the NPC has indeed handed over a satisfactory answer. They have proved to the whole society with practical actions that the people's congress has never been ambiguous in defending justice and safeguarding the rights and interests of students. This resolute attitude is not only the greatest consolation to the victims, but also a wake-up call to the entire higher education community.
Yet, as we cheer for this justice, we can't help but ask: Why do similar incidents continue to happen? Why are there always some people who are in a high position, but still can't control their desires? Why is there such an ugly act in the ivory tower, in this supposed temple of pure and flawless knowledge?
The answer may not be complicated. In an environment where power imbalances have long existed, it is inevitable that some people will have the illusion that they can do whatever they want. They rely on their position and influence to wantonly infringe on the rights and interests of others. On the other hand, victims often choose to remain silent and endure due to various concerns. This silence has invisibly become a breeding ground for these ugly behaviors.
However, the times are progressing and society is developing. With the rise of the #MeToo movement, more and more people are beginning to realize that silence will not solve the problem, but will only fuel the arrogance of bad actors. Just like the female doctor in this incident, she chose to stand up bravely and broke this unhealthy silence with her actions.
Her courage is not only to seek justice for herself, but also to speak for the thousands of people who may be suffering from similar problems. Her actions, like a light in the darkness, brought hope and strength to all victims.
The rapid response and harsh handling of the Chinese University further demonstrated the power of justice. It tells us that as long as we dare to stand up and speak out, there will be people who will listen, someone who will support us, and someone who will uphold justice for us.
The outcome of this incident has undoubtedly taught a vivid lesson to the entire educational circles. It once again emphasizes the importance of the construction of teachers' ethics and style. As engineers of the human soul, teachers' words and deeds have a subtle impact on students. If even teachers can't be of good character, how can they expect to produce excellent students?
Therefore, strengthening the construction of teachers' ethics and style of teaching is not only the responsibility of every school, but also the common mission of the whole society. We need to establish a better system and strengthen the supervision and discipline mechanism, so that every teacher can always remember his or her responsibility and mission. At the same time, we need to create a more open and inclusive environment where victims are encouraged to speak up, so that every misconduct is punished as it deserves.
Of course, we must also realize that punishment alone is not enough. We also need to fundamentally change the mindset of some people to truly understand the importance of respecting others and getting along as equals. This requires the joint efforts of the whole society, and each of us needs to start from ourselves and use practical actions to create a more fair and just social environment.
This incident teaches us much more than that. It teaches us that we should not choose silence and compromise in the face of injustice and darkness. Everyone has the right and duty to uphold their dignity and to defend fairness and justice. Only when each of us has the courage to stand up and speak out can we truly promote the progress and development of society.
At the same time, this incident is yet another demonstration of the power of social media. It is precisely because of such a platform that the voices of victims can be heard by more people and the attention of society can be focused so quickly. This reminds us that while enjoying the convenience brought by scientific and technological progress, we must also learn to make good use of these tools and make them a powerful weapon to uphold justice and spread the truth.
Finally, let us once again praise the brave female doctor, the decisive handling of the Chinese People's University, and all those who support justice and speak out in this process. Every action you take is driving this society for the better.
We look forward to seeing more schools like the National People's Congress (NPC) that can respond quickly and fairly in the face of similar incidents. We also hope that, over time, such incidents will become less and less numerous until they disappear completely. Let us work together to contribute to building a more fair, just and harmonious society.
Remember, justice may be late, but it will never be absent. As long as we unite as one and speak out bravely, there is no ice that cannot be broken, and no darkness that cannot be dispelled. Let's work together to create a better tomorrow!
