But the scenes depicted in the TV series are too different from reality. Even if it is given to children on campus, Even if I get a candy, I have to refuse or exchange it with other snacks because I am worried about what will happen. In order not to hurt the children’s hearts, we have made efforts in all aspects. We only take pictures of even a small piece of cake given by the children. Then send it back.”
