According to China’s Internet News, on September 19, an elementary teacher in Hunan Province pushed four students off a building, killing two and critically injuring the other two.
Hu Qizhi, who allegedly pushed the students, is a teacher at the Hengnan Complete Primary School in Hengshan County. It was reported that the night before he was in a fierce domestic dispute with his wife, also a teacher at the same school, related to their ongoing divorce.
It was also reported that when Hu had a dispute with the County Education Department on September 18, he threatened to turn the situation into a big story.
Hu had previously been bedridden for 4 years due to mental illness. It seems he suffered a relapse that day when he threw the four children from the fourth floor of the building.
A post in a Hengshan County Internet forum remarked, “Around 6 a.m. on September 19, while I was taking my child to the washroom, I heard someone screaming that something terrible had happened. I saw many people running towards the school. I learned that four students were thrown from the building. Two died and two were badly wounded.”
It continued, “When I entered the school, several people were beating the suspect before the police arrived on the scene and took the man away. For the two wounded children, the doctors were fighting to save their lives on the scene. It was a most agonizing sight.”
The school tragedy gathered the community around the school. Although many reporters reported on the incident, only the official report from the Chinese Communist Party controlled media outlets were released the following morning, which claimed that the four students were merely injured, with three suffering only minor injuries and the other critical.
Several Chinese Internet users posted their disbelief with the regime’s official report. One upset forum user said, “There is more to this! We should demand that the officials investigate the matter thoroughly,” demanded another.”
