On the way, the students chanted slogans, “Equal pay for equal work, no double standards! Return home voluntarily, don’t threaten.” Later the senior officials of the school came to the scene to discuss with the students, and even said that “there has been no such thing in Huaxi for more than 100 years.”
The day’s march ended after the school’s senior managers verbally agreed to the students’ request. Many netizens left messages of support for the students, “Well done! Medical (personnel) should have been respected and paid.” Some netizens said, “It seems that in the future (China) will go into different protests, rallies and demonstrations. It’s normal, and gradually everyone gets used to it, and it’s a very basic appeal.”
