On Monday morning, as Nie Qingzhou arrived at school, he was unexpectedly surrounded by a group of reporters.
These reporters, through some unknown means, had learned Nie Qingzhou's name and school. They were waiting at the school gate, eager to question him. Nie Qingzhou happened to be a well-known figure in his grade. When a reporter asked a random second-year student about him, the student looked around and immediately pointed to a tall, thin boy who was sitting on a tricycle, "That's Nie Qingzhou."
Nie Qingzhou was still embarrassed about Xia Yi giving him a ride to school on a tricycle, unaware that even greater embarrassment awaited him. He was dumbfounded as he got off the tricycle. Cameras and microphones were thrust towards him. Those people said that they were from various television stations or newspapers. They bombarded him with questions, "Are you the high school student who acted bravely at the entrance of Fu'an Elementary School on Saturday afternoon?"
