Wang Zang: Thank you all for your attention! Here I report the results of seeking redress for my children
Regarding Wang Nianci, after nearly two years of various efforts and efforts by multiple parties, each side ultimately made some compromises——
1、The main assailant was “persuaded to withdraw” by the school, while several others received “warnings”;
2、The assailant and his family have apologized face-to-face to Wang Nianci and her family and paid 10,000 yuan in compensation, while the local government provided “compensation” of 9,600 yuan;
3、The school and education authorities strengthened relevant management measures to strictly prevent such incidents from occurring. According to some of my own investigations, many schools in the area have not seen further incidents of “bullying” or “fighting” for the time being.
4、Wang Nianci has remained at home and out of school because of this incident, and the local government has also expressed concern.
Regarding Wang Shiyin, I heard that the teacher involved was criticized and later transferred. Subsequently, my child no longer experienced corporal punishment and often received considerable care and attention at school. As I understand it, other children at this school have not experienced corporal punishment again for the time being.

Chow Hang-tung: Statement of Plea
The author rejects a 206-page judgment that, they argue, treats belief in ending one-party dictatorship as unconstitutional and criminal. They say law cannot control thoughts, condemn obedience to authoritarian power, and describe ending one-party dictatorship as a responsibility of Hong Kong and Chinese people. The author refuses to apologize for these beliefs, accepts possible imprisonment, and vows to continue pursuing democracy, accountability for the 1989 massacre and a democratic Hong Kong and China.
