The term "illegitimate child" sounds like a monstrous threat, terrifying adults.
They fear their child will be led astray, but if the child's will is strong enough, how could they possibly be corrupted by what they imagine a despicable illegitimate child to be?
Is it that illegitimate children are bad, or that one lacks confidence in their own child, or perhaps, concern leads to confusion?
As Yi Mu watched the parents jumping around on the other end of the camera, he analyzed himself.
He was born out of wedlock, so he was better than most people. He excelled in his studies, not because he was born smart, but because he worked harder than anyone else.
He wasn't the only one; most of the impoverished students on the margins of society had better academic performance than those from wealthy families.
It can be said that in each monthly exam, two-thirds of the students within the top thirty are poor students.
They can't choose their birth, and at their age, they don't have the ability to change anything.
We are all honest and law-abiding people. There is no reason for us to be ostracized and treated unfairly just because we were born into a poor family.
Yi Mu collected a lot of bullying incidents that occurred in the school. In his three years at the school, he witnessed 26 cases, some of which he was unaware of.
Three of the students suffered multiple fractures. Their families were already struggling to support their education, and now they had to bear the high cost of surgery. As a result, they had no choice but to drop out of school or stay at home, or choose to continue their studies in schools with mediocre teaching quality.
Physical injuries can heal, but how can we forgive those who become withdrawn, suicidal, or depressed because of those injuries?
Nine minutes later, Yi Mu closed his notebook.
“I am a coward. In fact, from the first day I entered the school, I saw my classmates being bullied. But I knew the unspoken rules of Ronggao High School: if I dared to stand up for them, I would also become an ‘orphan’. In order to live a peaceful life for three years, I turned around and left.”
"If it weren't for the recent revelation of my illegitimate child status, I might still choose to close my eyes and not see or hear anything."
"Ronggao is a century-old prestigious school. Long ago, it was a school with free thinking and an open mind. But now, it has been constrained by the vulgar and materialistic pursuit of money. Ronggao is not a business or high society. The quality of a student is judged by their seriousness in their studies and their diverse thinking, not by a series of boring titles."
After saying this, he turned off the microphone and let out a long sigh.
The younger students from the radio station were outside the recording studio. When Yi Mu came out, they all stood up and clapped.
Many of these people are what the wealthy and powerful young people of Ronggao call the poor.
Whether or not Yi Mu's words will have any effect, at least someone is willing to stand up for them.
The mule only took ten minutes, not a minute more or less.
The principal's office phone line was disconnected early on, and the secretaries were overwhelmed with calls and had to deal with excited parents.
The principal wasn't worried at all; in fact, he secretly hoped that Yi Mu's speech would serve as a wake-up call for the parents and students.
Ronggao wasn't actually a prestigious school before; it was just that for a while, it became fashionable for parents to give gifts to teachers and school leaders.
Parents were comparing themselves to each other, and rumors started circulating that only wealthy children could get into Ronggao High School.
The students admitted are all pampered young masters and ladies from wealthy families, so the school environment inevitably becomes more refined.
Over the past ten years, it has become the prestigious school it is today.
Students from wealthy families are generous in investing in the school, building buildings such as gymnasiums and swimming pools, which is a good thing.
However, these parents who spend lavishly also have many shortcomings. They take themselves too seriously and interfere in the development of the school.
Interfering with the school board's decisions is one thing, but if they're unhappy, they go to the education bureau and insist on doing things their way.
This displeased the principal, who hoped that this incident would temper the tempers of these parents.
