"42 1 incident" refers to the news that Ruisi English, a well-known education and training institution in Chinese mainland, closed all offline stores in its official Weibo on April 20021,which aroused widespread concern and speculation from all walks of life. After the incident broke out, Ruisi English announced that it would refund the existing students and promised to complete the full refund within one month.

For the sudden closure of Ruisi English, some people think that it may be because the company was recently investigated by the regulatory authorities, and the problem of alleged non-compliance with education-related laws and regulations could not be satisfactorily solved, so it chose to close the store. Some people think that Reith English may have to undergo internal restructuring or transformation, so as to make a decision to close offline stores.

With the fermentation of the incident, the relevant regulatory authorities launched an investigation into Reith English and investigated the company's violations. In addition, many other institutions have begun to check and correct themselves, strengthen standardized management and promote market compliance. To a certain extent, this also shows that supervision is constantly strengthening, and education and training institutions will have to abide by stricter regulations to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
