The students in the prison were still unclear about what had happened.
It wasn't until the young guard led the students to the prison door, pushed open the dark iron door, and let the sunlight in.
As they crossed the threshold.
The students who had been detained for several days saw the workers filling the streets outside the prison.
Their coarse hands held high signs stained with ink.
Some signs were made by students before, damaged by the black-uniformed military police amid chaos, now tied with red cloth strips by the workers and waved.
The crowd erupted in cheers upon seeing the students emerge.
The surrounding students left the prison amid the throng.
Feng Lei was among them, looking at the crowd around and feeling a bit dazed.
For at this moment, the glint in the eyes of these citizens seemed different, starkly contrasting the previous lifeless state.
By evening, as Feng Lei finally had some free time.
