On November 7, a teacher surnamed Xie at the Yangchun Ziyong After-school Care Center in Guangdong choked a student while snatching an item from them. The parent used a children's smartwatch to record the incident, but the teacher snatched the watch and forcibly deleted the video. The parent then used a mobile phone to record a second video as evidence.
“Oriental Horizon” officially went on air, and Bai Yansong, from a temporary planner, was pushed in front of the camera, ushering in a period of public opinion supervision later known as the “mini spring” of CCTV news.
