The popularity of "Ne Zha 2" has sparked a craze for animation in China, especially with the end credits paying tribute to over 130 animation companies of all sizes. This has also led many training institutions to sense business opportunities and offer courses related to animation production, aiming to seize the "trend". However, reality is often not as beautiful as depicted by businesses. The recent case concluded by the Gulou Court in Xuzhou can serve as a reminder to the growing trend of "class registration fever". Many young people who aspire to pursue the path of animation should be extra careful when choosing to attend training classes. Can I catch the 'industry express' for 5988 yuan? Xiao Cao, a 20-year-old girl from Gansu, is an anime enthusiast who has been drawing comics in her spare time. In the past two years, the domestic animation market has been booming, and Xiao Cao suddenly saw the hope of grassroots counterattacks. Xiao Cao received a promotional flyer from an educational institution in Xuzhou, which claimed that its "CG Imaging Omnibus Class" only requires 41 class hours to equip trainers with relevant skills, making it easy for them to earn money part-time. The institution also claimed to provide attractive conditions such as full-time accompanying teaching, two-year service cycle, and free retakes. With a passion for the animation industry and a longing for the future, Xiao Cao paid the tuition fee of 5988 yuan without hesitation. However, reality has greatly disappointed Xiao Cao. The institution not only failed to ensure the scheduling of class hours, but also the teaching quality fell far short of the promised level, let alone the so-called part-time job opportunities. Xiao Cao found a training institution and requested a refund of the discretionary training fees, but was refused by the other party. After several unsuccessful communications, Xiao Cao chose to file a lawsuit with the Gulou Court in Xuzhou City. Recently, a judge from Gulou District Court presided over a mediation between the two parties. Under the mediation of the judge and the people's mediator, the defendant, a certain educational institution, finally admitted to the inadequacy of the advertising promotion and recognized its own mistake. In the end, both parties agreed to terminate the contract and the defendant refunded 4990 yuan of Xiao Cao's online course fee. Reminder from the judge: Beware of the pitfalls behind the "crash course". The judge stated that currently, domestic animation has become a hot topic in the animation production industry in China. Some education and training institutions believe that this is a "trend" and have opened related courses, using gimmicks such as online courses, live streaming, and accompanying teaching to promote false information. Some young people have high expectations and are eager to achieve success, often falling into the trap. "Engaging in the animation industry requires solid drawing skills, rich creative accumulation, and a deep understanding of technology. Many young people only see the so-called" trend "and mistakenly believe that as long as they enroll in a training course, they can quickly master skills and easily make money. However, those so-called "crash courses" often only exploit students' anxiety, ultimately causing them to waste both money and time The judge also stated that many training institutions often make tempting promises such as "guaranteed", "teaching by renowned teachers", and "guaranteed employment" in order to attract students. Some institutions also use slogans such as "no refund," "invalid refund," and "limited time discount" to attract students to purchase expensive courses. However, when a refund is truly needed, these institutions often resort to various excuses and even refuse to refund. The judge reminds relevant education and training institutions to operate with integrity and truly provide high-quality teaching services for students, rather than blindly following industry trends, or even exaggerating or false advertising, otherwise they will need to bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
