Su Shan was stunned when her fellow photographers, driven by professional sensitivity, turned on their cameras to capture the scene unfolding in front of them: the handshake and conversation between the student and the dean, what great news material this was.
But Dean Miao turned and waved his hand to stop them, saying, "Everyone, please don't film me. I'm quite old now, and appearing on television would frighten the young people. You can go and film our frontline doctors and nurses; they are the ones who work the hardest and deserve to be filmed."
Dean Miao said this very tactfully, but the meaning was clear: I'm not interested in being on television. He, as a dean, is truly not afraid to speak in this way to the TV people, even if the station director were here, he'd say the same thing.
Su Shan snapped back to her senses in time, waved her hand to get her companions to turn their cameras. She not only agreed with Lin Tian but couldn't afford to offend Dean Miao either.
