At around 20:30 yesterday, a reporter managed to contact by phone the principal of Longhu No.1 Middle School in Xinzheng, Mr. Qiao Chuanzhu. Principal Qiao confirmed that this incident indeed happened at Longhu No.1 Middle School. The incident occurred around June, and the students shown on the video are from the same dormitory. A classmate's clothes were missing, so they suspected her (referring to "sneaker girl") of stealing them, and surrounded her to ask questions.
After the school learned about the matter, considering the self-esteem of the girls, they did not handle it publicly. Instead, they criticized and educated the students who had beaten others, and required them to apologize to the girl who was beaten, which she accepted. Later, the missing clothes of the student were found, proving that this was all a misunderstanding.
On August 10th, Qiao Chuanzhu heard that someone had posted the video online. After investigation, it turned out that a student who had transferred from the school had uploaded the video to the internet. "In fact, this incident is not as the netizens think, that a rural girl has been humiliated by urban girls, because most of our students come from rural areas. The situation is not as serious as described on the internet."
