Recently, the death of a female student in a college in Jilin Province who was sick and exercised has aroused heated discussions among netizens.
The hot discussion is that the girl's family said that the girl's death was related to her teacher, because the gift was not in place, so the teacher asked her to run morning exercises with illness.

And the family also added that the girl's gift was given under the hint of the counselor!
The latest development of the matter is that the girl's family has reached a settlement with the school, but the relevant departments are still investigating the teacher's gift.

This incident made Tong Tsai think, if Hong Kong happens, it will not be as simple as reconciliation!
If the investigation confirms that the teacher has received gifts, he will go to jail!
Give gifts and receive gifts, grab them all!
In the mainland, giving gifts to teachers is a very common and even natural thing.
When you open a book, you can see a lot of posts about gifting teachers, and some people even have a special "teacher's gift-giving strategy".

But in Hong Kong, not only will these not work, but they will also have to be imprisoned!
Under the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, it is an offence to give and accept bribes and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for seven years and a fine of HK$500,000.
In 2022, such an incident happened in Hong Kong.
At that time, a mother who had just arrived in Hong Kong from the Mainland wanted to send her child to Hennessy Road Government Primary School.

But the child has not been notified after participating in the school interview, so she thought about it and used a routine commonly used in the mainland - sending money!
She put 20,000 yuan in an envelope, rushed to the school and forcibly stuffed it into the principal's hand.
At first, the principal thought that he was just submitting some information, but after opening it, he found that it was actually a stack of Hong Kong dollars!

The principal didn't have time to think about it, and immediately reported the matter to the relevant departments.
The woman was then arrested and eventually sentenced to four months in prison for "bribery."
The same thing happened back in 2006.

At that time, a Ph.D. student at the City University of Hong Kong was worried that he would not be able to pass the final exam, so he stuffed 10,000 yuan into the mailbox of the subject teacher.
After she came back, she was even bolder, and she lost her fear of exams, quickly turned on the computer, and began to send emails to the teacher.
And this email doesn't just want the teacher to raise his noble hand to let him pass, but directly asks the tutor for the test questions and answers, and wants a high score!
Just as she was thinking that Meimei would pass the exam, the ICAC arrested her and sentenced her to six months in prison.

So giving gifts to teachers in Hong Kong is not a good thing, it's a crime!
Of course, there are also some teachers who choose to take risks - once they accept gifts from parents, they will be bribed and will go to jail!
In 2015, the principal of a kindergarten in Hong Kong was arrested for receiving gifts.
At that time, a parent sent some designer wallets, coats and scarves to the kindergarten principal and teachers because their children were studying in this kindergarten.
However, the child's teacher did not accept it, only the principal accepted the gift.

The result was the same, and the ICAC arrested both of them together.
Therefore, giving gifts to teachers in Hong Kong is definitely not as natural as in the mainland.
In recent years, the ICAC has also compiled a "Corruption Prevention Guide for Kindergarten Operations", which contains relevant information on how teachers handle gift collection.

To put it simply, there is no absolute limit to the amount of money. As long as you want to get some benefit by giving this thing, it is considered a bribe.
For example, if you give a candy to a teacher, but if you want to use the candy to get the teacher to take care of your child, it is considered a bribe.

In addition to not being able to give gifts to teachers, money suspected of "greed" and "bribery" is a crime!
No matter how small the amount is, it's a crime!
In 2018, a man from the mainland was denied entry because his actual reasons for entry did not match those for applying for entry.
In fact, he only needed to explain clearly to the immigration department, and there was nothing wrong, but he chose the most "redundant" method - stuffed a 400 yuan red envelope for the staff, and wanted to pass the customs with it.
Well, the staff reported that he was finally sentenced to 8 months in prison for bribery, and he entered Hong Kong as he wished......

In 2011, two LCSD ticketing assistants in Hong Kong took advantage of their authority to charge more than 200 yuan to help people reserve concert tickets.
According to the mainland, isn't this a ticket scalper?
But in Hong Kong, it doesn't matter if you pay a premium of 200 or 2000, it all involves taking bribes, and the two were eventually sentenced to 8 months in prison.

In addition to this, there are also people who have been charged with the crime of 1 yuan coin.

Everyone must know that the price of goods in Hong Kong is that you can't even buy a bottle of water for a 1 yuan coin, so you can't do anything, but if you are greedy for 1 yuan, then the matter is big.
In 2013, a toll collector in Hong Kong pocketed a one-dollar coin from his workbench while working.

The whole process was seen by the boss, who immediately called the police, and the reason for the accusation was that he was suspected of "theft".
In the end, the toll collector lost 1,000 yuan in legal fees and lost his job. And at that time, the toll collector was over 50 years old, and his pension was gone!

The relevant lawyer's explanation for this is that the focus is not on the amount of money, but on the fact that the defendant is stealing the employer's money as an employee, which is a breach of good faith and is more serious in nature than ordinary theft cases!
However, it is precisely because of Hong Kong's zero tolerance for bribery that Hong Kong has the reputation of "clean city", not only at the government level, but also down to the citizens!
Finally, you can vote, what do you think about giving gifts to teachers?
