On April 12th, today, internet celebrity Cat One Cup publicly apologized, admitting to fabricating the incident of finding homework in Paris.
The female internet celebrity stated: "I initially posted this video due to a lack of legal awareness.

I deeply reflect on this and apologize."
At the same time, Ping An West Lake also issued a notification: Recently, public security organs discovered and received reports from netizens that a self-media account posted a video on the internet claiming to have found a primary school student named Qin Lang's lost homework book in Paris, suspected of spreading online rumors. The public security organs are conducting investigations in accordance with the law.
Upon investigation, netizens Xu (female, 29 years old, username "ThurmanCatOneCup") and her colleague Xue (male, 30 years old) jointly plotted and fabricated a series of video scripts titled "Finding the Lost Homework of Elementary School Student Qin Lang" to attract followers and traffic. They later purchased winter vacation homework online, filmed relevant videos with their smartphones, and disseminated them on multiple online platforms, causing negative effects.
Currently, the public security organs have lawfully imposed administrative penalties on Xu, Xue, and their company.
On February 16th of this year, a blogger released a video claiming to have been handed winter vacation homework by a French person on the streets of Paris.
After further investigation, it was discovered that a Chinese elementary school student had lost their winter vacation homework in a local restroom, which was then found by the French individual and handed to the blogger, who sought help in finding the owner.
The blogger checked and found the homework intact, so they brought it back to China.
