For premium products, though the cost is high, we dare not reduce the materials; for reputation, though the process is complex, we dare not save on labor.

The principles of integrity are endless, and examples of integrity are everywhere. On November 3, 2019, the China Judgments Online website published a judgment document concerning a dispute over education and training contracts between plaintiffs, including Zhang Fuhai and 41 others, and defendants Shenzhen Kaihui Education Technology Development Co., Ltd., Zhang Sai, Yi Qin, and Liu Jian.
 

The relevant facts of the case are that from 2017 to 2018, the plaintiffs in the 42 cases signed "Summer Camp Agreements," "Top Student Summer Camp Course Confirmations," or "Winter Camp Agreements" with the defendant Kaihui Company, reaching agreements for the plaintiffs' children to participate in the "Summer Camp," "Happy Top Student Winter Camp," or "Winter Camp" organized by the defendant Kaihui Company. The defendant Kaihui Company provided all teaching staff for the "Summer Camp," "Happy Top Student Winter Camp," or "Winter Camp," offering five major module courses based on Kaihui Education's enrollment promotion itinerary to enhance campers' comprehensive abilities, cultivate children's good habits and learning skills, help and guide children to develop learning habits and emotional management skills; organize and implement various training courses and lectures, arrange various visits and training activities during the camp period, and be responsible for campers' life management during the camp. The agreements also stipulated entry time, fees, meals, accommodation, discipline, safety, visit contact, pick-up and drop-off of campers, and refund and withdrawal policies.
 

The plaintiffs claimed: The defendant Kaihui Company ignored the fact that it lacked educational training qualifications and engaged in false advertising, operating so-called summer camps with loose management and简陋 facilities; the academic qualifications of defendant Zhang Sai and several instructors did not match the promotional claims; the defendant Kaihui Company induced the plaintiffs to sign training agreements through false advertising and other means, constituting fraud; defendants Zhang Sai and Liu Jian, as shareholders of the defendant Kaihui Company, failed to fulfill their capital contribution obligations as agreed; defendant Yi Qin, as the legal representative of the defendant Kaihui Company, and the other defendants had financial commingling with the defendant Kaihui Company, and should legally bear joint and several liability for the debts of the defendant Kaihui Company.
 

Finally, in accordance with Articles 54 and 58 of the Contract Law of the People's Republic of China, Article 20 of the Company Law of the People's Republic of China, Article 55 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests, and Article 64, Paragraph 1, and Article 142 of the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, the court ruled to revoke the "Summer Camp Agreement," "Elite Student Summer Camp Course Confirmation," or "Winter Camp Agreement" signed between each plaintiff and the defendant, Shenzhen Kaihui Education Technology Development Co., Ltd.; the defendant, Shenzhen Kaihui Education Technology Development Co., Ltd., shall refund the amounts paid by each plaintiff within ten days from the effective date of this judgment.
 

　　Integrity is a weighty counterweight; once placed, life no longer wavers, and the scale immediately tips steadily to one side.
 

Since 1987, on March 15 each year, consumer organizations across China have jointly held grand commemorative activities with relevant departments, using various forms to promote laws and regulations on consumer rights protection and their achievements, encouraging the whole society to care for and support consumer rights protection. The promotional activities of "March 15 International Consumer Rights Day" have become a social event with broad influence and profound significance.
 

Therefore, the author believesOne should develop the habit of collecting materials that can serve as evidence for rights protection in daily lifeSuch as shopping receipts, warranty slips, invoices, paper or electronic contracts, audio and video recordings, online transaction records, chat logs (preserved through web notarization), travel itineraries and plans with official seals, and consumption lists with official seals.
 

According to the Consumer Rights Protection Law, Product Quality Law, General Principles of Civil Law, and other legal provisions, consumers have the right to safety, the right to be informed, the right to choose independently, the right to fair trade, the right to seek compensation, the right to protect their legitimate rights and interests, the right to acquire knowledge, the right to personal dignity, and the right to supervise and report when purchasing goods or receiving services.
 

　　The law does not protect those who sleep on their rights.When one's legitimate rights and interests are infringed upon, they must assert their rights within the statute of limitations prescribed by law. If the rights are not asserted beyond the statutory period, the right to win the lawsuit is lost, and even if one is in the right, they cannot prevail. Therefore, it is even more important to enhance one's legal literacy and bravely say "no" to lawbreakers.
 

Great sound is rarely heard, great form is invisible, and great honesty seems foolish. Shakespeare once said, "Losing honesty is like an enemy destroying oneself."In life, whether in big or small matters, one must embody honesty to travel the world with a sword and remain invincible.Because honesty is an orchid, blooming nobly in people's hearts; because honesty is a cup of fragrant tea, permeating people's hearts; because honesty is a song, resounding across the world.
