After a sleepless night, Gao Yang arrived at the New York City Police Department on time the next day. Under the solemn gaze of numerous police officers and a battalion of reporters, Gao Yang ascended the podium and stood before the New York City Police Commissioner.
Gao Yang's walking posture was entirely different from before. Standing before the microphone, his facial expression beneath the sunglasses was also markedly different as the Police Commissioner pinned a medal of honor onto his chest.
Warm applause erupted from the police and reporters below. This medal-awarding ceremony did not invite any ordinary citizens.
A hero surely receives distinct treatment, and Gao Yang might be the only one wearing sunglasses to accept a medal, yet no one found it disrespectful.
Gao Yang's hero image was seamlessly constructed, with not a single voice of opposition, aided significantly by the support of the New York Police Department and FBI.
