In London, England, there is a famous British pianist named Cavanna. He is well-known on YouTube, with 2.13 million subscribers. Cavanna enjoys playing the piano in public places and recording these performances to upload them to his YouTube channel. However, one day, something strange happened.

On this day, Cavanna was playing the piano in a department store in London, streaming live. Suddenly, a group of people holding Chinese flags approached him. They claimed to be staff from "Chinese TV" and demanded that Cavanna stop filming. They said they didn't want to be filmed because they were nearby. They also mentioned that Chinese law did not allow such actions.

Cavanna found this very strange because he was simply playing the piano. He told the group that they were in England, not China, so they should follow English law. However, the Chinese individuals insisted that they had "image rights." One woman even claimed to be British, but she was also holding a Chinese flag. When Cavanna pointed at the flag in her hand, another man suddenly shouted loudly, accusing Cavanna of discriminating against Chinese people.

A few days later, Cavanna decided to return to the department store, this time bringing along several Winnie the Pooh plush toys. He also changed his profile picture on social media to one of Winnie the Pooh hiding behind the British flag. This incident sparked a lot of discussion online.

In London, England, there is a famous British pianist named Cavanna. He is well-known on YouTube, with 2.13 million subscribers. Cavanna enjoys playing the piano in public places and recording these performances to upload them to his YouTube channel. However, one day, something strange happened.

On this day, Cavanna was playing the piano in a department store in London, streaming live. Suddenly, a group of people holding Chinese flags approached him. They claimed to be staff from "Chinese TV" and demanded that Cavanna stop filming. They said they didn't want to be filmed because they were nearby. They also mentioned that Chinese law did not allow such actions.

Cavanna found this very strange because he was simply playing the piano. He told the group that they were in England, not China, so they should follow English law. However, the Chinese individuals insisted that they had "image rights." One woman even claimed to be British, but she was also holding a Chinese flag. When Cavanna pointed at the flag in her hand, another man suddenly shouted loudly, accusing Cavanna of discriminating against Chinese people.

A few days later, Cavanna decided to return to the department store, this time bringing along several Winnie the Pooh plush toys. He also changed his profile picture on social media to one of Winnie the Pooh hiding behind the British flag. This incident sparked a lot of discussion online.
